Across 232 pages, Wood blends personal experiences, expert insight, and practical tips to help readers better understand common postpartum intimacy challenges, including painful sex, numbness, unfulfilling sex, body changes, time pressure, and the complicated reality of wanting closeness while also being exhausted, touched-out, or adjusting to motherhood.

It also makes a meaningful gift for anyone looking for a more open, compassionate conversation around postpartum pleasure and intimacy.
