Is this you?
- You're 3+ months postpartum and sex still feels wrong
- Your libido has not returned
- Sex hurts since the birth
- You feel disconnected from your body
What the research says
Postpartum sexual changes are nearly universal in the first year. Persistent issues at 12+ months warrant evaluation.
How tantra approaches this
Slow, body-honoring, often non-penetrative practice. Hormonal patience. Pelvic-floor PT in parallel where indicated.
When to see a doctor instead
For any pain, prolapse symptoms, or persistent low libido past 12 months.
