Paloma Faith experienced a “sexual liberation” after the birth of her children

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 that she didn’t have an orgasm until three years into her sex life, but that she experienced a “sexual liberation” after giving birth and realized how amazing the female body is and what it goes through during childbirth.

Speaking on the show “I Weigh with Jameela Jamil,” 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 organism was the same as the male.”

“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, kind of 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.

“I thought, ‘Yeah, this is my time.’ But then it 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.”

“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 it’s not anymore.

“I actually like it better because now I think: ‘Yeeeees!’

“I think this is an incredibly empowering thing that women should not be ashamed of.”
