So, you've survived the whirlwind honeymoon with your newborn, and now you're about 6 to 12 months into this thing called motherhood. Your hair might still be sticky with a mysterious substance, and wearing anything that's not an elastic waistband feels like a betrayal. But, girl, you're ready to dive back into the world of romance—maybe with the enthusiasm of a lion who's been on a veggie diet for too long.
