OMGYes After Motherhood: Why I Finally Tried It (And What It Did)

Here's something I don't often hear discussed honestly: becoming a mother changes your relationship with your body in ways nobody really prepares you for. Not just physically. Psychologically. The sense of yourself as someone with desires, preferences, and an inner life that includes pleasure — that can quietly disappear under the weight of everything else.

I'm a therapist. I sit with this with clients all the time. And I've lived it myself.

This post is specifically about OMGYes from that angle — not as a product review (that's here: OMGYes Review) and not as a "is it worth it" breakdown (that's here: Is OMGYes Worth It?).

This is about what happens to women's sense of themselves after major life transitions, and why education — not therapy, not a partner, not willpower — is sometimes the missing piece.

What Motherhood Does to Your Relationship With Your Body

The research on postpartum sexuality is striking and underreported. Up to 88% of new parents report changes in sexual wellbeing. Fewer than 30% receive any guidance about what to expect. Only 15% of postpartum women discuss it with a healthcare provider.

That's not a personal failing — it's a structural silence. Our culture celebrates the transition to motherhood while simultaneously treating maternal sexuality as something that no longer really belongs to you.

The result, for a lot of women, is a kind of quiet estrangement. Not crisis — just distance. A sense that that part of you went somewhere and you're not sure how to find it again without feeling guilty for looking.

What I Was Actually Missing (It Wasn't What I Thought)

When I came across OMGYes, I wasn't looking for technique tips. I was in a season of reconnection — trying to reclaim a sense of myself that felt muffled by years of caregiving, performance pressure, and the accumulated weight of never being taught much about my own body in the first place.

What OMGYes gave me — and what I've since seen it give clients — wasn't information exactly. It was language. And permission.

Language: the platform names specific experiences and techniques (things like "orbiting," "layering") in a way that makes them discussable. For women who've spent years defaulting to vague gestures or silence, having words is surprisingly powerful.

Permission: seeing real women — not actors, not diagrams, not idealized bodies — talk openly about their own pleasure normalizes the whole conversation. The implicit message is: this is a normal human thing to be curious about, and you're allowed.

Why This Matters Especially for Mothers

The guilt piece is real and it's worth naming directly. Many women carry an internalized belief that "good mothers" don't prioritize this. That desire is somehow incompatible with caregiving. That reclaiming your sexuality is selfish.

That belief is both common and clinically harmful. Body disconnection doesn't stay in one lane — it affects confidence, energy, relationship satisfaction, and sense of self across the board.

OMGYes isn't therapy. It won't unpack where that belief came from or process the specific grief of what you've set aside. That's what therapy is for. But it can be a low-pressure, private starting point — a way of returning attention to a part of yourself you've been ignoring, in a format that doesn't require anyone else to be involved.

Who This Post Is Really For

This isn't the right post if you're looking for a feature breakdown or pricing info — I've covered those separately.

This is for the woman who is somewhere in the middle: not in active distress, not looking to "fix" anything broken, but aware that something has quietly shifted and wondering if there's a gentle way back. That woman exists in a lot of my sessions. And she's the person this platform actually serves best.

If that's you — yes, I think it's worth trying. Not because it will change everything. Because it gives you something back that you've been quietly missing: the sense that your pleasure is worth paying attention to.
