Postpartum sex

Hi ladies, so i am 15 weeks postpartum and my partner and i have obviously been getting sexually active again since i was 6 weeks pp. However, it has continuously been painful when i am on top and it’s only a tiny bit painful when he’s on top. Has anyone else experienced this? I thought i would be back to normal now and would be able to enjoy myself but clearly not. 🥴

I think it can take some time to heal and get used to it again, if you tore, there might be some scar tissue that could be there which may be the cause of the pain? I’m now 17 weeks pp and have still had some pain in certain positions and I think it’s because I have scar tissue 🤷🏼‍♀️
Everyone is different on how their bodies cope after birth, some go back to normal quick and others just need a little longer but take things slowly if you want and I’m sure you’ll be back to normal in no time 😊

thank you, i did tear so that could be it! xx

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
