Jenni "JWoww" Farley says her post-baby vagina was like a "black hole."
“I'm not going to have sex for another year or two,” she said back in 2014. “[Roger] keeps b—hing. He’s like, ‘Come on!’ I’m like, ‘No, I was stitched, you’ve got to wait!' [Post-baby sex] is like, worse than being a virgin. [My vagina's] like a black hole."

Eva Amurri Martino says sex after childbirth is "awkward."
"[Sex] was TERRIBLE," she said. "It’s important to me not to mince words here — I think women being honest with each other is really important. I had heard tales of 'the first time after baby' and it sounded painful, but what I experienced was even worse than what I had imagined! In my opinion, having sex for the first time after birthing a baby feels like having sex for the first time ever. It’s awkward, emotional, and extremely painful."

Bethenny Frankel has less sex after giving birth.
"It’s cliché but you’re so much less concerned with romantic bubble baths and lingerie with your husband because your kid just took a s–t on the floor,” she said back in 2012. "You have to have a date night or get away to get laid properly. Intimacy is challenging. Jason’s penis has cobwebs on it."

In an interview for Olivia's podcast, Olivia asked Anna what her post-baby vagina looked like. "What happens to your vagina? Because I have heard horror stories," Olivia asked. "[My girlfriends who have given birth] keep saying the phrase 'blown out.' Like everything's been 'blown out.'"
“It’s the muscles that surround your vagina," Anna confirmed. "They throb for, like, weeks." She did admit that her vagina bounced back to normal after six weeks.

Jenny Mollen says she, and husband Jason Biggs, no longer have sex in the house.
"[After children] it's especially hard to have sex," Mollen said in an interview with Jason. "We have a nanny as well, living in the house, and I don't know why [but] for me, I'm just like, 'There's people here! We're not all alone!' There's just this anxiety. For instance, when we were on vacation [with friends], we were those people who were like, 'Should we have sex in our car?' We became those people."

"Sex after a baby is definitely different," she said. "We plan it out now, but we plan around it now. Before it was just like whatever goes. But now it's all planned out, like we're gonna go to dinner, and get down at this time. But I have it all coordinated now. I'm very organized."
