Psychotherapy Networker Symposium , Washington DC
When Baby Makes Three: Getting Sex off the Back Burner
Researchers now know that marital satisfaction declines dramatically after the birth of the first child. Mothers are sleep deprived, their sensuality often focuses on the baby, sex heads for the back burner, and husbands feel blindsided. It’s a crisis nobody prepares couples for, and some relationships never recover. This workshop will teach you how to help couples predict and negotiate this tricky familial shift with abandoning eroticism. You’ll learn how to challenge the American cultural stereotype of desexualized motherhood and help couples create a time and space for sex despite the presence of children.

When three threatens two: Must parenthood bring down the curtain of romance?
Sex makes babies, so it is ironic that many couples can trace the demise of their erotic life back to the arrival of the first child. Researchers now know that marital satisfaction declines dramatically following the transition to parenthood. The making of a family calls for a redistribution of resources and, for a while, there seems to be less for the couple: less time, less energy, less intimacy. Mothers are sleep deprived, their sensuality often focuses on the baby, sex is "put on the back burner", and husbands feel blindsided. Same sex couples face similar tensions that transcend normative gender attributions. It’s a crisis nobody prepares couples for, and some relationships never recover. But do children extinguish the flames of desire, or is it the adults who fail to keep the spark alive? This workshop will teach you how to help couples predict and negotiate this tricky familial shift with abandoning eroticism. You will learn how to challenge the American cultural stereotype of desexualized motherhood and help couples create a time and space for sex despite the presence of children. You will leave knowing how to help couples find ways to plan sex without killing playfulness and spontaneity and reconfigure eroticism within the new form of family life.
