March 1st 2024.
Meet Claudia, a 40-year-old married mother of two who is sharing her sex life with us. She describes herself as a "reluctant co-sleeper" and explains how she manages to find time for intimacy with her husband, despite her children sleeping in her bed.
Claudia never planned on co-sleeping, she had envisioned a strict routine for her baby, but her first child had other ideas and refused to sleep anywhere but in her arms. By the time her second child came along, she and her husband were exhausted and decided to just get a bigger bed and let the kids join them. While they may start off in their own beds, they always end up in the same bed as their parents.
However, this setup does pose challenges for Claudia and her husband when it comes to their sex life. The sound of little feet running down the hallway is a common occurrence and can definitely be a mood killer. They have even resorted to putting a lock on their bedroom door, but that doesn't always guarantee privacy.
Before co-sleeping, Claudia and her husband had a very passionate sex life, but now with the demands of work and parenthood, it has taken a backseat. They used to have sex five times a week and even enjoyed romantic weekends away. But now, the closest they get to a spa day is when the steam from the dishwasher hits Claudia in the face. She jokes about the saying "never sit on a co-sleeper's couch" as that is often where they have to sneak in their intimate moments.
Without further ado, let's take a look at Claudia's sex diary for the week.
Sunday
It's 1am and Claudia is experiencing the Sunday Night Fear, unable to sleep due to a big work project and a million things on her to-do list. Her children finally fell asleep at 11pm and she and her husband attempted to watch a movie in bed, only for her husband to start snoring. Claudia debates whether to use her vibrator, but instead decides to try and wake her husband up with a kiss. It works and they are able to have a passionate and satisfying session, thanks to their familiarity with each other's preferences.
Monday
Claudia wakes up to a child-free bed and panics for a moment before realizing that her children are just still asleep. She takes advantage of this rare moment and has a quick shower before doing the school run. She also checks her period tracker app to plan for their next intimate encounter. Claudia believes that regular sex is important for her relationship and her patience with her husband is definitely shorter when they haven't been intimate for a while. They both work from home and are able to sneak in another session during their lunch break, something that rarely happens for them.
Tuesday
Claudia gets no sleep as her children are in and out of their bed all night. Her husband takes over in the morning and she decides to have a "morning wank" as she believes that women's sexuality works on a "use it or lose it" basis. Later that evening, her husband is at a football game so there will be no sex that night. Claudia takes the opportunity to watch the Sex and The City movie and relates to the scene where Miranda's pubic hair is caught in the zipper of her jeans. She remembers how much effort she put into personal grooming when she was dating her husband, but now as a busy mom, she doesn't have the same time or energy. Breastfeeding and pregnancy have also changed her body, but she is slowly getting back to feeling comfortable with her body and bringing her breasts back into their sex life. She sometimes worries that the magic is gone from their relationship, but she knows deep down that it's not true.
Meet Claudia, a 40-year-old mother-of-two who shares her bed with her two children while still finding time for intimacy with her husband. In this week's edition of "How I Do It," Claudia opens up about her experience as a co-sleeping mom and how it has impacted her sex life.
Claudia admits that she never intended to co-sleep. She had envisioned a strict routine for her children, but her firstborn had other ideas and refused to sleep anywhere but in her arms. By the time her second child came along, she and her husband were exhausted and decided to get a bigger bed and let their children join them. Although they may start off in their own beds, the kids always seem to find their way back to their parents' bed.
Despite the challenges of co-sleeping, Claudia and her husband still manage to have sex twice a week. However, it's not always smooth sailing. Claudia shares that the sounds of little feet running down the hallway or the fear of her children barging in can be major passion killers. They've even resorted to putting a lock on their bedroom door, but it's still not a foolproof solution.
Before co-sleeping, Claudia and her husband had a very passionate sex life. They would have sex five times a week and go on romantic getaways. But now, the closest they get to a spa day is when the steam from the dishwasher hits them in the face. Despite the challenges, Claudia jokes that they have become experts at finding creative ways to have sex, such as on the couch once the children are safely upstairs.
As for their sex life this week, Claudia shares her diary, which is definitely not safe for work. On Sunday, they managed to have a passionate session despite her husband snoring. On Monday, they woke up to a child-free bed and took advantage of the opportunity to have sex twice. On Tuesday, Claudia indulged in a morning wank while her husband took care of the kids. She also reflects on how her body has changed postpartum and how she's become more comfortable with her post-baby body.
Despite the challenges of co-sleeping, Claudia and her husband make an effort to prioritize their sex life. Claudia believes that regular sex not only strengthens their bond as a couple, but it also helps her to be a more patient and understanding parent. And although she sometimes worries that the magic is gone from their relationship, she knows that's not the case.
