Rediscover connection with Get Your Mojo Back: Sex, Pleasure and Intimacy After Birth, the essential feminist rallying call that breaks the silence around sex after birth. Written by Clio Wood and published by Penguin, this 232-page paperback offers a candid, research-backed roadmap for anyone seeking to reclaim pleasure and intimacy after having a baby. Whether you are weeks or years postpartum, this book provides the tools to navigate physical changes, emotional shifts, and societal pressures with confidence.

Far more than a manual, this book is a movement. It directly addresses the unspoken struggles of sex after birth through honest storytelling, expert insights, and actionable exercises. Wood combines personal experience with interviews from medical professionals and fellow parents to dismantle shame and normalize the journey back to sexual wellbeing. You will find guidance on communicating with partners, understanding pelvic floor recovery, and redefining what intimacy means on your own terms.

Q: Is this book only for people who had a vaginal birth?

Absolutely not. This guide addresses sex after birth for all birth experiences, including cesarean sections. It covers physical recovery, scar healing, and emotional factors that apply regardless of how you delivered.

Q: Can partners benefit from reading this book?

Yes. The book includes dedicated sections for partners to help them understand and support postpartum intimacy without pressure.

It offers evidence-based information and shares professional perspectives, but it is not a substitute for personalized medical guidance. It serves as a complement to postnatal care.

Q: How soon after birth can I use the advice?

The book is designed to be read at any stage—from those early weeks through years after giving birth. It respects individual readiness and focuses on gradual, joyful reconnection.
