Why Being A Mom Is The Best Thing That Could Happen To Your Sex Life

For all the excitement that comes with being a mom, there are just as many worries. You're afraid that you won't be the same person you used to be. You're afraid that you're not going to be able to handle everything that comes with being a parent. You may even be worried about your sex life. Because no matter how you spin it, being a parent is  sexy. Sure, the MILF movement is fairly popular, but that's more about the age and maturity and less about the duties. But if you're having these worries, you can finally put them to rest. Keep reading to find out why being a mom is the best thing that could happen to your sex life.a mom? Let us know!

“Houston, we have a problem.” Claiming that sex after having kids won’t be as exciting as it used to be tends to be a typical stance on the topic. But truth be told, these people are focusing way too much on the negative. Sure, it’ll be different. But worse? Not by a longshot. In fact, your sex life after becoming a mom is only going to get better and better.

New mom, new sex. When you become a mom, your life changes. But in terms of your life, it changes for the better. Now, it’s certainly easy to look at the negatives of becoming a mom when it has to do with your sex life, but perk up. It’s high time you modify that downer mindset of yours and start looking on the bright side of life.

“Funger.” Once you become a mom, you develop something called “Funger,” and no, it’s not a disease, and no it has nothing to do with fungus. Funger simply translate to “a hunger for fun,” which is exactly what you have now that you’ve finally gotten through 9 months of prenatal issues and that the next few years of your life will be consumed by glorified babysitter duties.

Body positivity. When you’ve dealt with being pregnant, you’ve seen your body like you’ve never seen it before. But that’s a good thing. What’s great about it is that you become way more comfortable in your own skin, which extends to being comfortable in your own skin when you’re making love. You’re going to be way less worried about how you look, and way more interested in how you feel.

Self-confidence. Aside from your body, as a mom, you’re just more likely to have a greater sense of confidence. You’ve created life. Suddenly, all the petty issues you used to worry yourself with hardly mean anything anymore or simply don’t mean anything at all. As blink-182 once sang, “Well I guess this is growing up.”

Fine with messes. As a mom, your days will be messy. There’s simply no way around it. Kids are basically little gremlins, and though we love them, we can’t deny how destructive they are. That being said, the positive in this is that when you’re having sex, running into messes will hardly be an issue. You’ve seen everything, so no matter what happens, you can deal.

No pain, no gain. When you’ve experienced what it’s like to push a baby through your vagina, any other kind of pain isn’t really an issue — at all. So if you or your partner want to test the experimental waters and add some biting or slapping (or really, whatever the hell else you think you might want to try out), it’s hardly going to compare to the pain of childbirth.

Patience. When you’re a mom, patience is key. In fact, if you don’t have patience, you’re simply just going to lose your damn mind. So with this newfound patience, it’ll bring with it some major benefits in the bedroom (hello, delayed ejaculation).

Sex is sacred. Now that you’re a mom, finding the time to have sex is surely not as easy as it used to be, so there’s definitely a deeper sense of appreciation for it. When you’re having sex, you’re appreciating every second. It feels as though you’re having it for the first time (without any of the discomfort or pain, and all of the experience).

It feels deserved. After a long day chasing after your kids and stressing over typical mom problems (“mom-blems?”), there’s nothing more satisfying than sex. It’s relaxing. It feels good. It’s a major payoff that is far more gratifying than having a glass of wine or bingeing “House Hunters International.”

Knowing what you want. As a mom, you don’t bother trying to decide what you think is right versus simply what you want. You know, deep down, that you deserve life’s simple pleasures, and when it comes to being sexually satisfied, you want you want, and you’re not going to apologize for that, not when you have full day of tending to kids tomorrow.

Exhaustion. Now, just because becoming a mom helps with your sex life, that doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be correlated with having sex. If you’re too tired for sex, you now a legitimate excuse. You’ve been mothering all day, so if you’re not in the mood, your partner will just have to deal. Or sleep on the couch. Or however it works under your roof.

Spontaneity. As a mom, sex can’t always be as casual as it used to be when you weren’t a parent. From here on out, sex may have to be far more spontaneous than it’s ever had to be in the past. But that’s exciting. Don’t look at that as a bad thing. Your sex life is pretty much being forced to be more exciting and unexpected than it’s ever been. In fact, you should celebrate that news with some more sex!

Quickies. Now, spontaneous sex is one thing, but with the busy schedule that you’ve got, spontaneous quickies are going to have to be the norm in your household — and this should excite you. Impromptu quickies will spice up your sex life and will even make you feel young again. Plus, what’s hotter than a quickie? Anyone?

To moms everywhere. If becoming a parent has made you stress a little about your sex life, don’t. You just need to embrace your new duties and your new schedule, and then you need to find the silver linings. They’re there. You just need to utilize your modified life as a tool for new experiences, not as a stop sign.
