Regaining sex life

Me and my husband have been so focused on being mum and dad since my first boy was born last January, we've lost our spark in the bedroom. Before we had kids, we were having sex every night and giving it our all, since having kids, it's just a quicky every now and then and not much fun at all.

Does anyone have any advice on how wr can regain that spark?

Maybe a night away without kids will help you reset things?
Good luck I’m sure you’ll get back there 🤍

Time, Mama. It takes approx 18 months to feel bad to "normal" after a baby.

hubby and i started to invest a little more into adult toys and lingerie lol seems to have done the trick 😬

also, hubby came up with a ‘game’ for us where basically i had to hide random sexy toys/outfits throughout the house in places where i thought he would find them (think nightstand, random cabinet, toolbox, silverware drawer, whatever) and when he found something we would have to use it that night after the babies went to bed. depending on timing we might even use it right then when he found it in the kitchen or where ever 😅 kinda fun and helped to build up some excitement and spontaneity again! also took away the awkwardness of trying to pull something out in the moment unexpectedly lol.

Flirt, it's my best advice, don't afraid to be silly, do the things you did when you dated, cuddle, reintroduce intimacy in small ways throughout your day so that when it gets down to it doesn't feel so pressured

My husband and I have definitely gone through phases like this too, it will come back around, for us the main thing that brought us fully back out of it was reading spicy books together, A Court of Thorns and Roses was like a second honeymoon

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

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”
