My parents taught me, growing up, to above all else tell the truth and help others. That's what I'm trying to do. I want mothers out there to keep telling the truth -- to each other, to our partners, to society -- about what we're really like and what we need really need. I want us to feel safe letting out our inner naughties, and to have fun doing it. I want us to become "thinkaboutsexaholics" -- or at least to occasionally think about sex. I want us to let ourselves feel hot again, and let ourselves off the hook when we don't. I want to give this confused virgin-mother society a little push in the direction of sexy. And I want to let all those other sexy, tired, uptight, dry, stretched, sewn, poked, pulled, milked, saggy, hot, hairy, awesomely unstoppable mamas out there know they're not alone.
