Anyone else still struggling with sex?

Question

Hey ladies! 
I'm a FTM and I'm 11 weeks PP and still unable to have penetrative sex. It just hurts too much when it's going in and I haven't been brave enough to keep going when it gets uncomfortable. Any advice??

Answer

Coconut oil! A lot of it! First time was awful, even with lube. A friend recommended coconut oil and every time has been better than the last.

Answer

Are you using lube? LOTS of lube? Seems like FTMs struggle with postpartum sex. I did as well. But after my 2nd, I felt great after 6 weeks and with my 3rd... we actually had sex 2 weeks after and it again felt great bit everyone is different. Give it time. Go SLOW. I mean you just pushed a human out... its gonna take time to recover.

Answer

I wouldn’t say it hurts for me, just mildly uncomfortable. But I think this is more because I’m not into it. I still have like ZERO sex drive which is hard because I’m so so attracted to my partner, but it just feels like nothing is going on down there for me. Not sure what I can do but wait it out and hope for the return of my libido 😭

Answer

Similar boat. I would say it does get better form the initial insert. Lots of lube helps a little but it’s definitely really uncomfortable for me still too
