How to get sex drive back...
I’m a mother of 2, I have a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old. With my first, my husband and I had sex up until the week I delivered (at the end it was mostly in hopes of inducing labor because I was over due but still). With my second, I was so sick for so long we had sex maybe 5-6 times the entire pregnancy and the last time we did anything was me pleasuring my husband around 8 months along but I had no interest in being touched because I was so sick and in extreme pain.
With my first we started having sex again 8 weeks after birth when I was cleared by the doctor. This time it’s been 12 weeks I’m long past getting cleared and we barely even kiss. I have zero sex drive and even less energy since I spend so much time and energy with my very bouncy toddler and needy/snuggly newborn. He hits in me and flirts and is clearly interested but in no way pressuring me. He doesn’t even ask for sex he just asks to make out but it’s always when it’s not able to happen right away like while I’m nursing or giving the kids a bath etc and so I always say of course soon hon but it never happens.
I can tell his getting sensitive about it I think he thinks I don’t love him anymore or am not attracted to him. I am tho! I just have literally zero sex drive somehow now. Sexual thoughts not even happen to me at all now. He said something tonight about how he’s always the one showing interest and he’s not wrong.
How do I get my sex drive back? Even just to make out? I feel so bad that my lack of sex drive is hurting him or making him sensitive about himself but idk how to muster up any ounce of desire again. What did you ladies do to bring the spark back? I love my husband so much I just have nothing in me now. Please help!
