Everybody's doing it


Everybody's writing about the sex they are not having thanks to this young(enough) lady. Suddenly the blogs are alive with the sound of women lamenting their inability to have sex with their husbands after children.

ZzzzZRrrrrip!

That SO didn't come out right. I meant 'have sex with their husbands since having children'... oh, you know what I mean.

This is one of those topics that fall into the 'letting it all hang out' category. Kerrie is the queen of this particular blogging category. She often posts on the ups and going-downs of her sex life. She's really funny, especially when she talks about her husbie wanting it A LOT more than she does, but I'm actually amazed at the number of women who have commented on some of these posts saying how grateful they are that someone is finally talking about this issue.

Really?

Is it really an 'issue' we need to 'discuss'? Because as far as I'm concerned the only person you really need to talk to about your lack of sex is your partner. Although I was extremely happy to read this post over at Peta-Jo's dealing with the fact that some guy who Peta-Jo's husband works with (yeah, yeah, I know) actually pays his wife to have sex with him. He gets two freebies a month and then it's $50 a go, apparently, so she's a lot cheaper than a hooker.

Anyway, as I said on Baby Mac's post, if you're not having enough sex then forgodsake just have sex already. Stop over-analysing it or fretting about it or avoiding it or feeling guilty about it. It's definitely one of those things in life where less talk, more action is required. Just get naked and get close up.  Amazing things happen, sometimes two amazing things in one night.*

Just don't tell me about it afterwards, okay?


Do you want to hear about other people's sex lives?
Do you think it's an issue that needs discussing?
And do you think you'd put out more if your partner paid you?

* And thank you so much for sharing that, Beth.
