Paloma Faith talks about “sexual liberation” after giving birth and the desire to have lots of sex

Paloma Faith wanted to have “a lot of sex” after the birth of her children.

The “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” singer, who published the book “MILF: Motherhood, Identity, Love and F******,” has admitted she didn’t have an orgasm until three years of sex, but said she experienced “sexual liberation” after giving birth and realized how amazing the female body is and what it goes through during childbirth.

Speaking to Jameela Jamil on I Weigh, the mother of two, who has two young daughters with her ex Leyman Lahcine, said: “I was sexually active for three years before I had an orgasm, and I believed that was not possible because a lot of what I had been taught about my sexuality was a male ideal; that the female orgasm was the same as the male’s.”

“I find it really disappointing that we are raised this way and many women have never had an orgasm in their entire lives. I find that really sad.”

“Then we got to this point when I had my kids. I felt like I had experienced a sexual liberation, a sexual awakening after having my kids, where I thought my body had done this incredible thing and I was really in tune with it. I felt like I really wanted to have a lot of sex after that.”

She added: “I thought to myself, ‘Yeah, this is my time.’ But then I felt like the whole world was making me invisible. It was like I was wearing this sexually invisible cloak. God forbid a mother could ever be sexy. And I looked back at my twenties, at the gorgeous body and all the fake orgasms. I just thought, ‘Oh God. I’m never doing that again.'”

The hitmaker continued: “Now I’m just going to aim high and have really amazing physical experiences because I’m really proud of my body in a way that’s quite weird because now I have a C-section scar and nipples that look like knotted dog toys from breastfeeding, even though it was actually great before but now it’s not. I actually like it more because now I’m like, ‘Yeeeeeah!’ I think that’s a great, empowering thing that women shouldn’t be ashamed of.”

Paloma recently gave some relationship advice to the Glastonbury Festival audience following a sing-along of her song “Sweatpants” and revealed the heartbreaking reason why she left her husband.

Performing barefoot, Paloma told the audience on the iconic Pyramid Stage that the “key to looking good is loneliness”, after previously declaring that she still looks youthful at 42.

She added that the reason she used to look older was because of her marriage. Paloma continued: “Because I looked a little bit older when I was in a relationship with someone I detested. And I was sitting at home… fuming, like, ‘Oh, you’re getting on my nerves so much that I have to tell you everything today.'”

Paloma then criticised dating apps, blaming them for making it harder for people to find their perfect partner rather than helping them do so. She said: “Try to stay together but the problem is resentment. So I’m just asking you, this is a request. I’m talking about (straight) men, if you’re married… and I just want you to realise that a woman who does the same thing every day, she has to do it. So don’t wait to ask for it, just do it.”
