The wound that is being created and perpetuated by our cultural distortion and commercialization of female sexuality needs to be and can be stopped.

Postpartum Sexuality – How to Get Your Sexy Back

Over the last year, Ellen Heed has been working on a project to determine how best to help women “get their sexy” back after childbirth. She has been collaborating with Jaiya, world-renowned sex educator and a fellow sexological bodyworker. The two women have worked both hands-on and in interview format with 25 women who have shared their birth stories, sexual and psychological histories, stories of physical trauma during the birth of their children, and the effects of scar tissue on their sexual lives. “We have found that when a woman sustains an injury during childbirth, due to a tear, an episiotomy, or C-section, working physically with the scars is the fastest route to getting physically comfortable with sex again,” explained Ellen in an interview with me.
