When you become a parent, it doesn’t automatically stop the need or desire for intimacy. Don’t get me wrong, it took me a while before I felt anywhere close to wanting to get it on again with my husband after having our boys. Pregnancy and childbirth take a lot out of you and it can take a while for your body and mind to recover. But I firmly believe that being a parent doesn’t mean you have to give up on love, sex and everything in between. But I do think you need to take extra precautions, after all, you have another person to think about now. You need to make sure they’re protected in In every sense of the word and children soak things up like a sponge. It’s even harder if you’re a single parent, trying to get back on the dating scene! But it isn’t impossible. What if you’re not looking for love? If you just want something casual and relaxed? Well, guess what? That’s OK too! There’s so much pressure on parents these days to follow set guidelines. Whether that’s relationships or what we eat. It’s ok to live your life the way you want too and to also make sure you’re happy too!
So how exactly can you fulfil those natural urges without exposing your family to dead beat guys or having to get baby sitters every week at short notice? Read on to for some tips on casual relationships when you’re a parent.
Finding Likeminded People
The good news is that dating while being a parent has become a whole load easier thanks to the Coronavirus. It’s a shame it took a pandemic to make it happen! Casual relationships are now easier to have than ever before… if we’re talking more of a companion instead of sexual partner. Dating sites have pretty much become the only way to meet people and everyone is heading to the same places which means more chance of meeting someone! But what is it’s a no strings attached thing you’re looking for? How do you do that without the pressures of letting people down? There are now dating sites that offer whatever you’re looking for. So for example, www.nostringsdating.net would be an ideal place to look. The same goes for people looking for other single parents or looking for people with no children! Know what you want and you’ll find a dating site for it.
Using Technology
It might be a little harder to actually meet in person now because of social distancing but things such as video calling and zoom chats have become normal on dating sites over the last few months. This makes online dating safer and you can make sure you are the other person are on the same page before taking the next step. It also means you can talk to lot’s of different people at one time, without actually wasting your time! So while your little ones are in bed, you can actually get some adult time, all in the comfort of your own home. Isn’t technology great?
Cut to the chase
What if you don’t want to do all the chit chat and you just want to find someone who is up for a quick, no strings attached (but safe) hook up? Well, that’s an option too. Of course, doing all the above means you can make sure the person is on the same wavelength and means there’s less chance of wasting your time. But you could just head to a sex dating site where it basically says what it does on the tin. There’s no shame to be had in this either. We’re all adults and as long as you’re safe (and make sure your children are safe) then go for it! We only live once. As I said, you might have to limit your sexual partners as lockdown comes and goes but at least you won’t have to worry about where to find them!
Be safe, Be Happy & Have fun!
