Perinatal Lessons: Exploring the Invitations for a Feminist Approach to Sexuality

A common social myth about the postpartum time period is that the sexual pleasure of the parents drastically ends or at the very least decreases greatly. This workshop will explore the invitations to one’s sexuality during the perinatal time period. Concepts related to reproductive health and sexual pleasure will be considered from a feminist vantage point; the psychology of the perinatal time period for parents will be explored as it pertains to gendered roles, sexual function and the often unspoken new vulnerabilities and norms of this life stage. Ultimately, we will celebrate the pleasures and new kinds of intimacy the perinatal time period offers parents and move away from the drab myth that sexuality shuts down with the birth of a baby.
