| Subject: Childbirth can mean at least six years of bad sex Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:48 pm | |
| CHILDBIRTH can mean six years of bad sex, or at least sex not as good as it used to be, a medical conference has been told.
Medical practitioners attending the conference were told they should check on the sexual wellbeing of the parents of young children.
It has been estimated that at least a third of couples develop serious, long-lasting psychosexual disturbances after the birth of their first child.
Sexual anthropologist Bella Ellwood-Clayton, who was invited to speak at the conference, said it could take years for couples to resume their normal sex lives. ''Rather than setting the bar for six weeks, I think it's more likely to set at six years,'' she said. Advertisement
Dr Ellwood-Clayton said pre-existing sexual problems in couples tended to worsen after the birth of their first child and were at their most pronounced three to four years later.
