I agree that the whole let down thing during sex does take something away from the experience. However, I was referencing pumping afterward to relieve the engorgement caused by the let down during sex. It isn't easy. It isn't sexy. However, if Mrs. Chrome buys that idea that sex is important to the marriage then working around this issue is necessary. My point is that it isn't the o that makes this happen. And A LOT of compassion is necessary for Mrs. Chrome as I have certainly expressed before - the entire post partum first year is inordinately stressful and with that many little ones it is even more so.
