Had a great interview with Tracy Moore the beautiful, powerful and dynamic host of City Line. Really lots of fun talking about “Sex after baby” and “Mini-date nights”. Thanks so much City Line for having me on and I look forward to coming back the next time I’m in Toronto.…

Have Sex After Kids.com

There was a pregnant pause over the phone line and then a confused, “Sex once a week…? That’s the challenge?” With a deep sigh, I had to admit that even to my own ears it sounded pretty lame.



How could I explain to my (childless) friend that taking a shower once a week was an exercise in time management gymnastics—and a much higher priority than sex?



“So, um, yes. Sex once a week. That’s the challenge,” I replied, desperate to not feel sexually inadequate.… Continue

Where Did the Sexual 'Chemistry' Go?

Question: I love my partner but don’t feel the ‘chemistry’ we once had. What can I do?



Dr. Trina's response

Here’s four ideas to get you started:

(1) Figure out what/ who the top five priorities are in your life. Is your partner one of them? Do your actions follow through on your words?

(2) Rate how easy or hard it is to communicate with difficult topics like sex, or what is bugging you. If it… Continue

Week #25--What I've learned about sex after baby

Six Month Sex Challenge: Week #25: What I’ve learned about sex after baby in the last six months.



Lesson I learned from last week: I can confidently prance around the house in lingerie…it just needs to be tame lingerie for now. It’s the prancing around the house part that’s important.



Well this is the end of my Six Month Sex… Continue

Week #6--New Year and a New Sex Life?

Week #6 Six Month Sex Challenge—Is good intention enough to help a flagging sex life?



Lesson that I learned last week: Our sex life will never be the hot crazy sex it once was; and yet we now can create something deeper and richer to take us over time.



Does the New Year really bring with it a new sex life?



New Years is a time to make resolutions with intent in order to change or transform ourselves for the better. Intention. Such a little… Continue

Week #5--Two and a Half Christmas Stories

Week #5 of the Six Month Sex Challenge



Lesson I learned last week: When I stretch myself too thin, I get snappy with my husband and, of course, I don’t want to have sex with him.



Two and a half stories for this blog. Both seem unrelated to my current sex life and, yet, both are integral to what is presently happening.



Story #1 ½

It was our first Christmas together and I was opening the first Christmas present from my husband.… Continue

Week #4--Why Did I Think I Could Have Sex This Week?

This is week #4 of my Six Month Sex Challenge. This week it's all about getting through the Christmas season stress and not killing each other.



What I learned last week: Oral sex is an easy way to add sex into the week.



Why Did I Think I Could Have Sex This Week?



Okay, I’ll admit it. I bit off way more than I could chew preparing for Christmas. Honestly, I thought baking 30 dozen cookies, shopping, mailing cards, potty training, working on… Continue

Week #3--Finding Intimacy in the Funniest of Places

Week #3 of my Six Month Sex Challenge

This week I focus on my husband’s sexual needs



Lesson learned from last week: Having my sexual needs met won’t always be greeted with the type of enthusiasm I would like.



Finding Intimacy in the Funniest of Places



The pain in my stomach became more pronounced Monday afternoon. By Monday night it was just plain bad. Tuesday morning the pain hadn’t gone away and I had to call my husband home from work… Continue

Week #2--My Needs vs. The Bills and Jets Game

Lessoned learned from last week: I can no longer count on weekend naps to fit in sex. Crap!!! That completely bites the big burrito.



Part of my Six Month Sex Challenge is to make one week about my sexual needs and the alternative week about what my husband would like. So to start, this week is all about me. Me, me, me, me.



For months now I’ve been fantasizing about a hot rock massage, I decided that what I wanted out of “sex” this week was a lovely… Continue

Week #1--How do we make time to have sex?

You’d think being married for eight years and me being a sex expert would make the whole reconnection after baby thing easier. Nope. The two month absence in sex wedged a tiny “how do I initiate” awkwardness between us.



So there I was figuring out how I was going to get the sex ball rolling in a fun and light hearted way. Admittedly I had a few romantic notions of a sweet and tender, uninterrupted reunion—where teeth were brushed, legs shaved and I was wearing something other than… Continue
