A Little LackLUSTer

May 17, 2010

This is fourth of five posts over ten days as part of Momalom’s Five for Ten.  We are all writing about the same topics in an honest effort to get to know one another better and make more connections.

Our first topic was Courage.   The second was Happiness.  The third was memory.  Today’s is Lust.

If you are already a regular Mommy Words visitor, I hope you enjoy these posts.  If you are here as a part of the Five for Ten, welcome!  I can’t wait to get to know you.

In the middle of the night I lay sleeping, dreaming of two bodies embracing, loving, and enjoying one another in perfect intimacy and with total abandon.  My eyelids flutter and I see my husband laying next to me and feel his leg draped over my own.  We always fit.  It always moves me.  I shift my body towards his and hear a soft moan.  My reaction is immediate.  My body warms in an instant and my breasts begin to tingle.   I let out a deep breath, a low groan, and unbutton my nightgown to free them for the soft hands that already are reaching out in hunger that only I can satisfy.

I roll over, scoop up my precious baby Violet, and begin to nurse.  My wild fantasies of passionate unplanned sex are smooshed by an irresistible 12 pound little girl.

Yes, things around here are a little lackluster.

When I feel a little frisky and hubs touches the tatas…they LEAK!  Horny mam or hungry baby…same reaction…breast milk let down.  (Truly a let down if you are feeling rowdy.)  These boobies also make a crinkly sound as all breast pads do when you caress them.   Not so hot huh?

I scream Yes! Yes! Yes! while Sophia does gymnastics instead of in the bedroom.

Can one without a strange fetish lust after someone who smells like baby puke and even sometimes has the scent of poop lingering?  With 2 kids still in diapers this is a common occurrence.

The last time I got  a wax was while preparing for labor.  Mama’s not feeling sexy.  Enough said.

After a hot date and a lot of wine (always lust inducing) I have to pump.  Milking oneself like a cow always kills that sexy feeling.

I sleep 1 foot from my infant and often wake up with my two year old in my bed.  Let’s just say I don’t wear lingerie to bed.

I think it might help to have a fraternity party where we could grind away in a basement like we did when LUST took over every night.  We could then forget that we are parents to 3 kids 3 and under but that’s kind of weird to have a mom of 3 in a beer drenched basement doing that so this scenario is probably out.  And more things would shake than just my tush.  And I don’t know any frat guys anymore anyway.

Now I am a little depressed about the lackluster state of things around here so I am just going to get out my pencil (no pen – you never know with kids!) and schedule me some lovin’.  You can’t always get what you want…you get what you need!

P.S. sometimes what I need is just sleep.

I also have a nursing infant , so I feel your pain. Enjoy this special time with your Princess b/c soon enough it will come to an end and you will have plenty of time for LUST. Just focus on your baby and sleep, lots of sleep.

Right now, the only lust you can really be feeling is for sleep! Totally normal! Tell your man that the shop is closed for a little while. :)

Oh you had me there! I thought here’s someone who’s REALLY going there… ha ha – but as a mom of three, I’m sure you’re more thrilled about going there to sleep more than anything else. I felt the same way when I was nursing. I felt like a cow! If I wasn’t nursing, I was pumping. MY call sign in those days? MOO. Yeah, that definitely killed the naughty side of romance a little.

I was SO going to go there but it would have been half assed given I do have very lusty dreams – they just never become reality. Lust was a really tough one! We all want to have that in our lives but it is one of the hardest things to keep hold of.

Haha I love the call sign. I’m going to sign some emails that way and see if anyone gets it!

That is a tough topic! Our babies must be close in age if Violet is 12 pounds. Sam’s just over that, and he’s 4 1/2 months. I love your p.s. That is ALL I ever lust for these days. ;)

Btw, I’ve given you a blogger award! You can check it out here: http://thetaleofbabyriser.blogspot.com/2010/05/our-first-blogger-award.html

You had me going there for a bit too!

The pumping days were just WEIRD. I hated when Tim would be there with me as I was as close to a cow as a human can be. And the leaking boobs… yes, very sexy.

This was great. I’m done nursing but still have not gotten my LUST back… maybe one day soon.

You had me going in yours babe. These posts were fun – even if not many of us actually revealed much about doing the deed you know!

I am glad our hubs thought the cow thing was a little much though. I much prefer a little less lust to a husband who has some sort of breastfeeding fetish ;)

My heart was racing there, I thought you were really going for it!

I know just how you feel…still nursing a 15 month old. Boobies are no go zone until that’s done. I can’t handle the one being so closely associated with the other. Hopefully we’ll be done soon and can get back to being women!!

Somewhere, God or Mother Nature or Someone is laughing hysterically about making the parts that tingle with lust the same parts required for delivering and feeding babies. In this anatomical instance, I think natural selection let us down [typed as she leaks, leaks, leaks], don’t you?

Ah, I remember the post partum days where I had to talk myself into lovin’ my man on the few occasions that we had the opportunity… and how it was more of a turn on/return of the favor when he gave me a back rub than some actual “lovin’” too. I have no idea how you do it with 3, and I am not looking forward to trying when I have my 2nd this fall… so I totally hear you there!

My body decided not to produce milk, so my boobs were never really off limits — except for the first three weeks when I was constantly football-holding my baby hoping that *something* would give. I do remember that acute lust for sleep, though. Getting it was orgasmic.

I thought you were going truly racy too… and then I was plunged into memory (from the dad side of things), of going through what I like to call the “chopped liver” stage of fatherhood.

Still, if you guys are three under three, you really did “go there” in the margins between pumping and diaper changing.

Now that my kids are up in their teens (new levels of challenge), I can hardly believe how long those early years felt. As they say, the days take forever and the years fly by.

Nice to meet you in this five-for-ten world.

Wow. That you have any lust at all at this point is amazing!!! Looks like you and the hubs will be back in the swing of things before long. Does that mean baby #4? HeeHee.

OMG- you read my mind! I have a 12-week old and I’m nursing so I totally feel your pain. Those crunchy, bulky nursing pads or the worst but I leak too much not to go anywhere without them!

I know, I know. Wickedly late. I’ve been straggling on my Five for Ten duties (let’s just say it was a wee bit bigger than anticipated!) but I’m here. And so so so glad I came.

This post is fantastic. Lingerie? Um, no. And I don’t even have any babes in my bed, or room, anymore. But reading all your words–especially about nursing–brought all those memories back. And although they make me happy that my lustful moments are more readily available now, they do make me lustful for a baby again. Sigh.
