Couples who have sex multiple times a day (and have young kids): how and when?
Mom (f34) here of a toddler and pregnant with our second. Due to medication my sex drive is normally really low. During pregnancy somehow it skyrockets.
To help with the low drive, In the past, we've worked on being intimate more without focus on sex (for example: for each hug i give my kid i will give my husband one as well, more French kissing, just overall more connection). And also me setting clear boundaries on when i am open to it or not, to avoid disappointment and increase foreplay during the day. I need more time to warm up, so to speak.
With my drive being up now, we're trying to establish some "routines" to have a bit more sex on the regular, to hopefully maintain when baby n° 2 comes and my medication will be up.
Now, I'm not looking for multiple times a day (although I am still curious how on earth people manage this).. but more on how to create the moments to have sex. We both work 32h/week, early starts, so losing sleep is a turn off for us both. Right now we usually head in early if toddler goes to sleep early and have sex then.
I hope I've worded this clearly ♡ thanks for all input! Any advice is welcome.
What tips/tricks worked for you to increase quantity?
Ps: medication is for epilepsy, so switching is no help as all these meds have this as a possible side effect.
