Queen says the impact of birth on an intimate relationship cannot be overstated. “This impacts the parents’ relationship in many ways, including the ways new parents must prioritize the infant and its well-being, time and focus-wise; it can involve hormonal shifts that impact libido, particularly for the birth parent, but the other parent can experience an emotional version of this sometimes – seeing their partner more as a parent than a lover – for instance.
To keep the spark of intimacy alive after becoming new parents, it’s important that couples set realistic expectations and communicate openly with each other. Queen also encourages couples to expand their definition of what sex and intimacy entails. It’s also helpful if couples frame the above mentioned activities in a positive light. “It doesn’t help to consider them second-best or less than ‘real’ sex. All of these things are real sex,” says Queen.
