Three years ago I would have given anything to have sex in bed.
We were just over 12 months into parenthood with my youngest, and my husbands first baby. Even though we’d been together since my daughter was four, this was our first time navigating the newborn phase together.
We co-slept with Kaden until he was around 2.5 - although he still comes into our bed most nights, we are able to put him to sleep in his own room.
Our sex life after birthing him didn’t change too much. In fact, it was actually pretty epic!
It was during the pandemic, Johnathon had lost his job due to mandates, and we spent a lot of time together.
It actually holds some of my most favourite memories.
We did a lot of ritual, ceremony, yoga, and breathwork together back then.
I guess when you’re stuck inside 23 hours of the day (remember when we were only allowed outside for 1 hour of mask wearing exercise at a 3ft distance from others?) it gives you a lot of time to do things together. Sex included.
However, with Kaden sleeping in our bed, we had to get a lot more experimental.
