Is anyone else struggling with sex while breastfeeding? Baby is four months and my sexual interest is almost non existent. I probably have one orgasm a month, I’m only willing to let sex happen once a week, and I swear that the majority of the time, my clit doesn’t work. In fact, sometimes my clit hurts to put pressure on it. My husband is patient most of the time, but occasionally he lets his sexual frustration show. Last night he slept on the couch after a little argument we got into about it.

I saw my doc a couple months ago and she said it is normal when breastfeeding because of hormones but to try different fore play and tingly lubricants. Nothing is making this better and most of the time I can’t bring myself to pleasure him when I am just not interested and don’t get anything out of it.

Before my baby was born, we had a very active sex life and I never understand faking orgasms or women who didn’t want sex because I loved it. Now I realize how judgmental I was.

I haven’t been on this app in a while, so if this was a conversation already, please let me know. I don’t want to feel alone and I would like to enjoy sex again.

***update and cross posted because I need someone to talk to.*** This morning I decided to try something new. I scheduled intimate time for every day during his last nap. I figured it would help me get back in the swing of things. I ran some errands and then to the sex shop to pick out a special tingly lube. Maybe that would wake my clit up. I come home and he says he doesn’t want to feel like a rapist making me do things I don’t want to do. He moved his nightstand to the basement and is making that couch his bed separated from me. I am broken hearted.
