05 Sexuality and Motherhood: Blythe Cronyn

Just Out of Curiosity with Shelley Dee

And so, my curiosity today leads to motherhood. Since I’ve pretty much been perpetually single my whole life and instead focused on embracing my sexuality and feminism, what it means to become pregnant feels a little far out to me. but what happens when one wants to move into parenthood? How do you bring back sex into your partnership after childbirth? What does postpartum mean to someone after they’ve given birth?

I’m a woman who is independent, has found her sexuality and loves her body as is. I’ve always wanted children, but would never settle with anyone to have them, but if I did and the thought of finding the future parent of my child became a reality, a part of me is so conflicted because I personally feel like I would have to exchange responsibility for their sexuality…. Or do I?

I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend Blythe; a new mom.

Blythe is someone I’d describe as someone who is a beautiful soul inside and out. She too is someone who is sex positive and open about her sexuality. Her views of the world and people have resonated with me so much. When we first met, we would talk about what it's like being a sexual person who wants to be a parent and what that means to her lifestyle. Now that she’s given birth, how does that present itself?
