The Momference Minis: Marissa Nelson on Sex After Kids and Keeping Play Alive


Listen Later

This spring, That Twin Mama took her mic to The Momference® — the premier, three-day gathering for Black and Brown millennial moms, powered by District Motherhued®. In a weekend built to nourish, uplift, and celebrate #BlackMomMagic, Lauren sat down with powerhouse moms, thought leaders, and healers to bring you these bite-sized, heart-full episodes straight from the DC mom squad that’s rewriting what community care looks like.

In this mini episode, Lauren cozies up with the brilliant Marissa Nelson — award-winning sex therapist and founder of IntimacyMoons Couples Retreats — for a real talk about sex after the babies arrive. From scheduling sex (yes, we’re doing it!) to non-sexual touch, awkward butt grabs, and why “playing” isn’t just for kids, they break down how modern couples can keep closeness, pleasure, and that delicious sense of anticipation alive — even when the house is chaotic and you’re all touched out.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Why scheduling sex isn’t unsexy — it’s survival
  • How couples lose the “play” and how to get it back
  • The power of non-sexual touch and staying close when you’re exhausted
  • Marissa’s wisdom on making pleasure a priority, not a perk


💛 Marissa Nelson — Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), Certified Sex Therapist (CST), Certified Sexuality Educator (CSE), and the genius behind IntimacyMoons Couples Retreats (as seen in The New York Times, Women’s Health, Fodor's Travel and more!). Find her work and book your escape at intimacymoons.com and follow her on IG https://www.instagram.com/xomarissanelson/?hl=en 


If this one made you feel a little seen (or a little spicy), share it with your best mom friend who needs the reminder that pleasure matters — and perfect isn’t the point. And don’t forget to leave your girl a 5-star review — it keeps this village growing. Subscribe so you don’t miss the rest of The Momference minis!
