Daddy Download – Will We Ever Have Sex Again?

October 11, 2018Dan GriffinThe Man Rules Podcast

The Man Rules Podcast with Dan Griffin Daddy Download Will We Ever Have Sex Again?

Everyone told you being a Dad would be hard, right? Many probably even said, “Nothing can prepare you…” And, man, they were so right. There’s nothing we can tell you to make the transition to being a new Dad a smooth and easy one, but we can help you figure out how to be more involved, more present, and more engaged as a parent and a partner. That’s what we’re aiming to do in this series of Daddy Downloads from The Man Rules podcast.

In this episode, Dan shares some thoughts on how Dads can help keep the home fires burnin’ in the bedroom and beyond.

Practical & Tactical Tips

  1. Don’t lose sight of each other or your relationship. Babies are very demanding. It can be all too easy for the focus to shift entirely to the child. That’s not healthy for your relationship, and what’s not healthy for your relationship, ultimately isn’t healthy for your child anyway.
  2. Date nights are not dead. Especially after the baby is born, but also during pregnancy. It’s worth the effort.
  3. Find ways to connect other than sexual intercourse. Get creative!  
  4. Masturbate. And talk about it with your partner.  (No, really.)
