Do you think there might be an evolutionary reason behind it? I can see Desmond Morris saying that the libido is diminished for a while to give our bodies a break between pregnancies and to allow for some time before the next child comes along. Maybe that's from nursing, maybe just from being a Mom.
For me, by the end of the day, I'm pretty completely touched out. I nanny for two little ones under three, plus my own under two. By the time ds hits the hay, the only hands I would want on me belong to a masseuse.
Our most recent really hot, spontaneous toss came completely out of the blue. I had been asleep for several hours when dh came to bed. He swears he was just putting his arm around me, but it landed right on my breast. I don't know why it hit me like, WHAM!, but we were both very glad it did. Maybe the secret is to let your partner sort of sneak up on you while you're asleep and not conscious enough to remember all those logical reasons to say no.
