RELATIONSHIP ADVICE
"an unhappy man will eventually make you an unhappy woman. Being around negative people is draining and contagious. Unfortunately, many women are drawn to men who need "fixing" or looking after, and they end up doing all the giving and none of the getting. You can't fix a man; he has to fix himself. If you want to help an unhappy man, be his friend but don't be his emotional nursemaid."

How Do We Love Our Aging Bodies When Men Have Penises Made Young by Viagra?
How Do We Love Our Aging Bodies When Men Have Penises Made Young by Viagra?
The part that touched me the most was this......
"The one really scary and just not acceptable change is the new pressure for the aging woman to keep up with her newly invigorated partner. He’s turned back the clock with a pill and at the end of the day all she can do is give really good oral sex—and receive it. What’s even worse is that though men get great erections with medication, many, many older guys, can’t ejaculate. So now, even if his partner can tolerate some thrusting, he needs to thrust more – and more. She gets only more and more sore."

What is "Romance Revisited?"
Sex after Childbirth
One thing is almost certain, after having a baby sex is different. We looked up a few articles which were medically biased and we found the "advice" if that's what you call it, not particularly helpful for lovers!
They talk about the physical changes because childbirth is sometimes traumatic for us. Our vagina gets strained, bruised and sometimes torn – and it takes a while for all this to heal. Next the hormones, the emotions, sleep disturbances, and then the "on call" feeling where we can't fully relax in case we're needed for feeding and comforting duties. Tired and overwhelmed sex often slips off the radar for months.
But what we have noticed is that although starting to have sex again can take time after childbirth, the articles stop short of real advice and help about how to make sex better. They're just not very explicit about what's ok and when, and what's off limits, and what others have found to be helpful. More than that though they seem to stop short of addressing pleasure and sexuality, and there's not much advice for couples.
So this blog has been started to answer your questions, and post articles which will help to bring some excitement and romance back.
