[quote=Anonymous]I disagree that it's not "normal" to have lower libido after kids, work, etc.  I think it's only our super-sexed society where we think that even new moms should still feel like porn stars in bed.  
I heard about a study this week that says even new dads have  lower testosterone when they are involved in caring for small children.  We know that testosterone has a role in sex drive.  
It it makes sense to me too that, right after having a child is probably not the best time, survival wise, to get pregnant again and have another child.  So doesn't it make sense that women would be less interested in sex when they are post partum/engaged in caring for a very young child?

IMHO women want sex when they are happy, when they are not stressed.  Having a small child, never mind a job too, is totally exhausting and draining.

Now if your kids are age 5 and ten, I think you have a problem.  But when your kids are little?  Normal.  Husbands need to expect it and deal with it.  Wives also need to make an effort to acknowledge the problem and stay intimately connected to their husbands (have sex).  [/quote]
