Dear Reader,
You may not realize this, but every time you visit our site you give us a little window into what resonates with you as a busy parent. These days, you’re responding to stories about the big stresses and little joys, the frustrations of the pandemic and the nitty gritty of life with kids. We can see that you’re doing — and feeling — a lot. You’re also, apparently, quite horny. You frequently visit our stories about masturbation and orgasms, how to have more sex and how to be better when you’re having it. Lots of your questions are clearly about the mysteries of conception, but most are just about pleasure and how to get more of it.
For all this, we say thank you. Your horniness is a beacon of hope, your dedication to getting off a daily reminder that no matter how tired, touched out, frustrated, and stretched thin you are, you haven’t given up or shut down. There’s more good stuff to be had, whether it’s a solo quickie during nap time or an epic all nighter with your spouse (hey, it might happen, right?). Each new day brings another opportunity to orgasm and for that we salute you.
In honor of your indefatigable libidos, Romper and Fatherly have teamed up (in the platonic sense) to put together stories about parental pleasure. Yes, we timed this collection to land around Valentine’s Day — don’t let that good wine and cheap chocolate go to waste! — but we are confident you’ll continue to read them long after the love holiday is over. Because every day is a love — and sex — day on Romper and Fatherly.

53 Valentine's days in, acclaimed writer Mike Sager sees a renaissance in his sex life, stemming from wisdom and experience, gains and losses.
“Looking back on a lifetime of love, my memories feel more ephemeral than documentary. Like a Zoom meeting nobody remembered to record. Only screen shots remain. Vivid bits and pieces, looks of love, stroke fodder, ghosts of pain and pleasure.” |

Because everyone could use a few pointers.

Sex Advice from Long-Term Couples
https://www.romper.com/life/long-term-couples-sex-life-married
1) “Every sexual experience is not going to be firecrackers. I’ll tell my husband, ‘Babe, come home. I need some real quick and then we can go out.’”
2) “My biggest piece of advice is to broaden your definitions of sex. If your road to parenting has meant someone gave birth, that body probably works differently now. Penetration might not feel good for a long time. Find things that do and call that sex.”
3) “You get better at being you over time. And that means the person you’re with is making you happy and you are making them happy. It’s more specific, and you’re just more grounded in who you are.”
4) We’re more uncomfortable talking about it the older we get. And I think other things is, let’s be honest, you’ve got a lot of testosterone when you’re young, right? It’s like always on your mind and now you don’t have as much testosterone. The mood has to be right, that kind of thing. It’s probably more pre-planned than it was. I find when I accept this, then I can appreciate what I have, and when I fight it, [I] worry what I lost. So my advice would be just to accept all the changes that are coming to you.”
