Most of you know that I refer to myself as "the city gal". I am the woman in the suit that you see on the train home everyday. So, I apologize if this post is breaking the romanc of this blog.
Sunday night I usually entertain myself to some Desperate Housewives. Funny, but to some extent, like Sex'n The City, educational! You ask why? For example, take this week's Gabriel's quote: " I am too hot for you". That is the most practical lesson I have learned about self-confidence. I have been practicing that line, since!
Unfortunately, last weekend, after the Desperate Housewives, the showed a new episode of Nip/Tuck, or as I call it "the freak show"! I take everything in that show with a grain of salt, but when Julia (pregnant) told Sean (husband) that because of the baby's position she can't have sex, something buzzed in my head: "I knew it!". Pregnant sex is a myth! An urban legend!
First of all, how many men get aroused by looking at a huge bump on a woman's body? Thinking that while you are doing it, someone else is there, too is the most "unsexiest" thing I can imagine!
Since Sunday, I have been trying to put 2 and 2 together:
1- 9 months of discomfort, pain and looking like a whale
2- giving birth as if one's vagina is a highway
3- minimum 2 months recovery from birth
4- having to stay at home all day
5- not sleeping for at least 4 month and nursing a crying baby
6- not looking like the young, slim and fit woman
7- husband complaining about lack of sex
8- husband complaining about lack of time with his buddies
9- husband depressed about his new life
10- husband no more interested in the woman that has given birth
Oh my god! Don't tell me I am delusional, because I hear it from guys in their 20s and 30s all the time: "once a woman has given birth, she is barely good for cuddling".
To think of it, now that I still am good looking, young and fit, I can barely find a faithful man, let alone when I am big, tired, with a crying baby in my arms!
Now the goverment keeps wondering why the new generation of women are not having babies!
