SEX & MOTHERHOOD

Motherhood and sexuality are not opposites. They are both born from the same creative, life-giving energy. Yet somewhere along the way, our culture decided that once you become a mother, your pleasure should take a back seat to everyone else’s needs. Mothers are taught to pour endlessly into others, to find fulfillment in service, and to feel guilty for wanting anything just for themselves.

In doing so, something vital gets lost. Pleasure. Physical, emotional, and spiritual pleasure becomes an afterthought, and is replaced by exhaustion, obligation, and often survival mode. The body that once felt like home can start to feel foreign. Desire is blocked by resentment, fatigue, and the invisible labor of mothering. Many mothers begin to wonder if they’ve changed too much to ever feel that spark again.

This space is where we reclaim what was always ours. Here, we talk about desire, body image, pain, and how hormones, identity, and emotional load shape intimacy. We name how patriarchy, shame, and unrealistic expectations have distorted our understanding of sex and how we can rebuild a relationship with our bodies and our pleasure from a place of truth and curiosity.

Pleasure is not a luxury. It is medicine. It is how we return to ourselves after giving so much away. Reconnecting with your sensuality is not about performance or perfection; it’s about feeling alive in your own skin again. It’s about remembering that your body belongs to you, that your needs matter, and that your pleasure is both a right and a source of power.

Here, we learn to reimagine pleasure as an act of healing, of reclamation, and of resistance, because when mothers reconnect to their bodies and their joy, they don’t just restore themselves. They restore the world around them.
