Romp? More like WOMP.

This weeks Mom.me column is about sex. Which is the last thing on my mind these days. I wrote about it, here and WOULD LOVE to hear from you guys on this one because you are all wise and with it and open and awesome. 

Being overworked and overextended, exhaustion and being exhausted is a huge part of why sex isn’t my biggest priority at the moment EXCEPT IT HAS TO BE, which makes me feel like I want to rebel against sex and be a nun. Because for me, as soon as it becomes something I feel I HAVE to do versus WANT to do, it feels like another chore to do before crashing.

Except it isn’t just me in this nunnery, you know?

I mean, what the hell is wrong with me? Sex used to be my favorite. Is it four kids that killed my libido? Has my body recognized that there will be no more babies coming out of it therefore it wants nothing to do with anything mildly sexual? I mean, is that a thing? Is it because, thanks to my Copper IUD, I am seemingly always on my period? (That didn’t use to stop me. Not even close.)

So what to do? Go on more dates? Take on lovers? Watch more porn? Procure a sex swing? Experiment with body paint?

And so, I am turning to you, dear readers. Lend me your ears and stories of romp. What is your advice for keeping sex solid and happening after many years and many children (or one)?

Or maybe you are one of those people who are, like, "MY SEX LIFE IS EVEN BETTER AFTER 16 KIDS! We do not have to work at it, we just can’t keep our hands off each other." In which case, I really want to know your secrets...

Spill your sexy, sisters.

Because after ten years, four kids and very little sleep, I want to retire the jersey and hire a pinch-hitter for my poor deprived man.

In the meantime, I’m with Megan Fox … except for the whole “not eating carbs” thing...
