A mum has taken to Reddit to ask men to explain how they felt about their partner after she had a baby.

User Runfreeprettyhorses asked; “to all the dads, how has your desire for your partner changed since she had a baby?”

She specifically stated she wasn’t talking about love, or about whether they were having less sex. She wanted to know how they saw their partner from a purely lustful standpoint since she gave birth.

Do dad's have less desire for their wives after having kids?

"Is it because her body has changed (a little or a lot) or because you saw things prenatal, during delivery and postpartum that you can't unsee? I feel my husband just doesn't want me the way he used to, maybe even doesn't love me the way he used to," she wrote.

"Sex isn't that much less frequent but it was never very often to begin with. He seems frustrated all the time. I am starting to feel really self conscious, that I am not as attractive as I used to be. Am I right? Are women less desirable after the baby is born?" she continued.

"Are women less desirable after a baby is born?"

The dad's answered honestly. The responses weren't black-and-white; but some men admitted they do lose desire for their partner after she gives birth. Other men say the desire for their partner is stronger after they have a baby.

Other responses were not so positive.

There were answers that sat in the middle; admitting to some hurdles, but saying they could definitely be overcome.

Women answered the question too.
