SEX AFTER BABY: WHY THERE
IS NONE
Non-fiction by Kathleen Hamilton
A sex goddess searches to get her groove back
If I had been asked, back before it was too
late, "Are you willing to trade your fabulous sex life for
a baby? A gorgeous, lovable baby?" I would have said no.
I read the books. Was I the only innocent who
believed that I might have an orgasmic childbirth and that sex after
childbirth was only a matter of creative scheduling?
After she had a baby at 39, Kathleen Hamilton's
sexual desire dove overnight from, "Honey, can we please have
sex tonight, I've got a headache?" to nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada.
It was an identity crisis. Plus, it was no fun at
all.
None of the books and articles Kathleen could find
came close to explaining why she lost her libido, or how or when
she might find it again. No one around Kathleen talked openly about
her experience balancing sex and motherhood - until Kathleen asked.
Funny, frank, political, and poignant, Sex
After Baby: Why There Is None is Kathleen's quest to bring
the surprise triple orgasm back into her life. Along the way, the
book reveals how Kathleen's questions about sex after baby - among
her friends and neighbours and favourite books - brought her new,
unexpected understanding of women's sexuality and women's lives.
