What do pregnant ladies and new moms have in common when it comes to sex? They aren’t getting enough good information!
Well at Babeland we love to talk about sex, and lucky us, we get to do that all day every day. We also love the hot mamas and mamas to be and we want them to be having as much (or as little) sex as they want to and getting the most out of it. We are teaching 2 classes in Seattle at Birth and Beyond next week (August 11th) one especially for the pregnant ladies (Sex During and After Pregnancy) and one for the new mama’s (Sex, Desire, and Reconnecting ).
The pregnancy class will answer all those pesky questions like:
- Will I hurt the baby? (No).
- What positions can I possibly get into? (Lots).
- Am I a pervert because of my dreams? (No).
- Will having sex or orgasms cause me to go into labor early? (It depends) Read the full post »

In Seattle, we have recently paired up with Bootyland (up the block from Babeland) for our Sexy Moms classes. We have taught a couple of classes for moms with older kids, but our upcoming class here in Seattle on November 30th is specifically for the pregnant moms and the moms with newborns (and partners of course).
When I wrote about the last class we had, I mentioned the lack of info online about how to keep your mojo while preggo. Well, there are definitely no classes for pregnant women wanting to find out the details about how their sex lives will change with pregnancy and parenthood.
Hey, I’m happy to be the resident expert on the subject! I love teaching about sex, I’m pregnant, plus I have now gotten to talk to LOTS of pregnant women and new moms about their sex lives too.
This class will cover 2 really important topics:
1. Everyone is different.
2. Communication techniques Read the full post »

This weekend at the Seattle Store we are teaching a Sex During Pregnancy and Parenthood class. We even have guest teacher Nekole Shapiro from Tantric Birth joining our resident Sex Educator mom Shannon and myself.
Being newly pregnant (18 weeks) and a sex educator, my interest in learning all about sex during pregnancy has definitely increased. Though I taught the Sexy Moms class a few times before I was pregnant, things are now personal. At first it seemed that there wasn’t much information out there on having sex during pregnancy other than: Read the full post »

Sexy Moms Night: Love Yourself First
Sunday, May 16, 7:00PM, Free at Babeland’s Seattle Store
Get back in touch with your sexy self! Shannon, savvy mom and one of the Moms in Babeland, will share tips on embracing your mom body, creating time for you, and rekindling desire. We’ll pamper you with mini-massages, refreshments, and snacks, too.
Why this topic you ask? When we held a Sexy Moms night last year, the number one reason moms gave for not wanting to be intimate was not liking their own bodies anymore.
Once one mom spoke up and talked about her stretch marks, there was an outpouring of support and agreement from other moms in the same boat whether it was displeasure with bellies, butts being bigger, boobs not as perky, etc… The class veered from talk about sex tips to talk about how to love our new mom bodies.
Loving your body and loving yourself as a sexual being is at the top of the list for having a happy sex life, so we have developed a whole class just for learning to love yourself up again. It can take a lot of baby steps (no pun intended), before you can stare at your naked body in the mirror and say in your sexiest voice “I am fucking HOT!” and then bring that sexy attitude to a partner, but we are going to help you do just that!

This interactive talk helps parents understand the need to start the conversations early and continue them throughout childhood and adolescence. Parents learn what works for kids, have time to talk about their own experiences and values, and learn about teen sexual behavior in an open and candid atmosphere. Read the full post »
