96 - The Post-Baby Bedroom: Bringing Sexy Back after kids with Melody Thomas from The Good Sex Project

Feeling like your sex life has gone the way of uninterrupted sleep? You’re not alone! In this episode of Boob to Food the podcast Melody Thomas, creator of The Good Sex Project, explores how to reignite intimacy after kids—and why it’s okay if things are a little… different these days.

Melody Thomas is a New Zealand-based podcast creator, writer, and co-founder of Popsock Media. She is best known for hosting The Good Sex Project, a podcast that explores candid conversations around sex and relationships, released through Stuff in 2023. Prior to that, she created and hosted BANG!, a multi-award-winning series for RNZ that delved into intimacy and sexuality. Melody’s work extends beyond podcasting—she's a writer and columnist for publications like Capital and Sunday magazines, and she’s currently working on her first book.

In this podcast we discuss

• Why it seems like men are always ready to have sex, but women take longer to be interested
• Whether how often you have sex is important (and what is actually normal!)
• The importance of non-sexual intimacy and what that might look like
• Practical tips for getting in the mood, or should we just be having sex even if it feels like a chore
• Advice would you give to parents trying to maintain their sexual connection?
• and so much more...

A few resources we mention or you might enjoy:

• Dipsea app
• Quinn app
