Sex and Intimacy After the Baby Arrives - NYTimes.com: ".... For the first three months, “my ‘sexual’ fantasy was for nobody to touch me,” she said. Though his interest had not flagged, Mr. Williams said he was in no rush and a little apprehensive: “It didn’t seem like an option for a while.” The couple did start to have sporadic sex at three months, although it was often painful for Ms. Williams.

Is sex getting too demanding for men? - Telegraph: "a very lucky man. The unnamed individual is, according to reports at the weekend, being divorced by his wife, a high-flying City banker, on the grounds, inter alia, that he is ''boring’’ in bed and refuses to take part in the kind of bedroom antics popularised by the raunchy blockbuster Fifty Shades of Grey.Well done, that man!
