Sexy Books: 'The Mominatrix's Guide to Sex: A No-Surrender Advice Book for Naughty Moms'

As Mominatrix author Kristen Chase points out, there's nothing like a pregnant belly or having a couple of kids to announce to the world: "I'm doing it!" So why does motherhood mean the end of a sex life as most women know it?

Chase's new book The Mominatrix's Guide to Sex: A No-Surrender Advice Book for Naughty Moms sets out to dispel the myths around sex during pregnancy, after giving birth, and during the next eighteen awkward years when you should probably go ahead and install that lock on your bedroom door.

For a mother regaining her sexual self, it's less about learning the latest and greatest blow-job technique and more about figuring out how to make a sexual relationship work when the batteries from your vibrator are now powering your baby monitor and the last orgasm you had was when your baby slept four hours in a row.

Chase runs the Motherhood Uncensored blog, writes her Mominatrix sex advice column for ImperfectParent.com and hosts the Morning Sex with Mominatrix podcast at MominatrixRadio.com. Her book runs from "Sex and the Pregnant Woman" and "Adjusting to Baby" to "Keeping the Love Alive" and "Spicing It Up." There's even a "Helping a Daddy Out" chapter for when your desparate partner picks up the book looking for insight on how to get his sex life back. There are sections on porn for parents, parent-friendly sex toys, making your own celebrity mom sex tapes, experimenting with anal sex, and grooming the unmentionables, and Chase (tagline: "whip your sex life into shape!") doesn't shy away from frank talk about exploring whatever new kinks parenthood may have inspired in you. 

Chase – who knows from experience that you can only have so many onesies in your life – closes with "The Mominatrix's Naughty Mom Registry," a selection of sexy gifts to help a new mom prepare for sex during pregnancy and after the baby arrives. Vibrating rubber ducky sex toy, anybody?

There's also a tremendously useful appendix of handy websites for everything from sexy nursing bras and stylish baby bags to babysitting services and mom-friendly sex shops.

As Chase concludes, "just because you've got diapers stashed in your glovebox and the Wiggles in your CD player doesn't mean you don't have your own needs." Amen.
