"  Ask Bethenny Frankel about what sex is really like the first time after giving birth and she doesn&amp;#039;t sugarcoat it: &amp;quot;It was like sticking my foot in a pool of cold water,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I could have gone on forever not having sex. It wasn&amp;#039;t a personal thing toward my husband \u2014 I think Jason&amp;#039;s the sexiest man alive. But it was kind of nice to be like, &amp;#039;Nope, store&amp;#039;s closed.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Even though she delivered via C-section, Bethenny says that sex was painful at first. &amp;quot;It doesn&amp;#039;t matter where the baby comes out; they still cut stuff,&amp;quot; she says. And for her, the biggest initial discomfort came from vaginal dryness. &amp;quot;It was kind of like being a virgin,&amp;quot; Bethenny says. &amp;quot;We had to tread lightly.&amp;quot; Now, as parents, Bethenny admits that she and Jason have to work harder at setting the mood. &amp;quot;If it&amp;#039;s date night, I&amp;#039;m putting on lingerie and we&amp;#039;re having sex,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;If it&amp;#039;s the weekend and our schedules aren&amp;#039;t crazy, we&amp;#039;re having sex. But the fact that I&amp;#039;m even using the term &amp;#039;date night&amp;#039; shows how different things are now.&amp;quot; Bethenny tries not to turn Jason down, though. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t say no,&amp;quot; she says, channeling the message of her new book, A Place of Yes. And perhaps with good reason: The two of them may just be making room for another baby. &amp;quot;We throw caution to the wind and use the withdrawal method now,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;If we got pregnant again, we&amp;#039;d be happy.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
