[old joke]
Two men are sitting outside the maternity ward. One guy says to the other, 'first kid?'
'Yes. How about you?'
'This is number seven for us.'
'Seven kids? Wow! Mind if I ask you something? How long after the birth before you start having sex again?'
'Depends on if they give my wife a private room or not."
Commenting to appease my anxiety, ignore me if I bother you.
Doctors generally recommend abstaining from sex for 6 weeks after giving birth.
Sharing an overly personal story because I think it's funny.
When my first marriage was swirling the drain, and my wife and I hadn't had sex for a number of months, I was visiting my parents, who were in their late 60s at the time. I noticed that my mom kept getting up to go to the bathroom, so I asked my dad if she was okay and he said she had a yeast infection that was bothering her and they didn't know what to do about it. I told him that those were generally pretty easy, she can get a cream that will take care of it in about a week. Not much else to it other than avoid sex for a couple weeks.
My dad looked incredulous. He said "A couple WEEKS? Like two full weeks? No sex at all for TWO WEEKS? If we don't do that, will it go away on its own?" My dad, pushing 70, was having a hard time coming to grips with the thought of going two weeks without sex, while I was in my 20s and hadn't had sex for four or five months.
I remember driving home and thinking, "Well there's something I didn't need to think about."
pops got libido like a teenager
Kinda sad he was more concerned about his sex life than his wife's health.
I understand why it looks that way from good reaction, but there was nothing my dad wouldn't have done for my mom. I've never seen two people who loved each other more completely, trusted each other more thoroughly, or gave a bigger priority to each other's happiness. But apparently they had an awful lot of sex.
What if the birth was sold instead?
On a sadder note, there are a lot of instances of men forcing themselves on their partners who just gave birth. Some nurses do catch them trying to make love in the hospital. But it's usually... not exactly the new mom's idea to do it. Not sure why you would want to bang a torn, soft, expanded, bleeding treasure cave to begin with but ok.
That's evil...
Don't kink shame.
