Amy Schumer humorously talks about sex after childbirth

Having a child turns everything upside down. Sleep, everyday life, but also women’s bodies. It may also take a while to recover from childbirth, which is quite normal. And the sex life that we have known until now, can be turned upside down. If the subject is still taboo for many people, Amy Schumer did not hesitate to confide in the resumption of her sexuality with her husband, the chef Chris Fischer, after the birth of the baby.

Guest on the podcast “Comedy Gold Mine” by Kevin Hart, on April 28, the actress declared that her sexual intercourse with her boyfriend was ” different “ since the arrival of their child in 2019. “It’s just huge and looks like garbage”she then joked, talking about her vagina. Her husband doesn’t seem to be a great comfort to the way she thinks her vagina looks. “I told her ‘do you want to have sex?’ And he looks like this ”, she said. Before explaining: “He kind of imagined it, and winced. He was imagining it and he made a face as if he had eaten something bad. He told me ‘why not tomorrow’ ”. An answer that seems to have relieved her since she confides to have thanked him.

Rest assured, Amy Schumeur is joking. More seriously, she explains having sex with her husband every 7 to 10 days. “Each time we tell ourselves that we should do it more often because it’s good. But in the end we are still waiting ten days “, she continued. It must be said that as a young parent, it is sometimes difficult to find time for your sexuality.

Resuming sex after childbirth can be complicated. The main thing is never to force yourself and especially to listen to yourself. “Above all, we must not say to ourselves that sex is a conjugal duty, an effort, and that we must necessarily resume sexual activity and pretend everything is fine. No, it’s not an obligation, but a shared pleasure ”, explained the sex therapist Deborah Schouhmann Antonio in a dedicated article. Everyone takes the time he or she needs before restarting this sex life.
