Can having a better sex life improve your business if you’re a working mother? The answer is probably yes. Marie Forleo, author and creator of the Rich, Happy, and Hot mentoring program for women believes that your business may suffer from your lack of sex. In an article titled, “Is Your Sex Life Affecting the Success of Your Business?” Marie says, “A healthy sex life is essential to being a vibrant, passionate, and fully self-expressed human being and therefore, essential to being a truly successful entrepreneur. After all, we start our businesses not only to earn a great living, but to make a difference in the world. And that can only happen when we are operating at our full potential. A healthy sex life feeds us on an emotional, physical and psychological level and simply leaves us more vibrant and engaged in our businesses and lives.”
Perhaps it’s the whore/Madonna thing but “good” mothers don’t talk about themselves as sexual beings. For many women once they have children, being a mother becomes their paramount role. The woman who enjoyed sex disappears and is replaced by a dutiful mother who channels all of her energies into her children. Sex is no longer about her pleasure or the opportunity to create a sacred union with her man—it’s reduced to being another unwanted obligation.
Why do so many mothers believe that reveling in their sexuality is incompatible with good parenting?
If you believe that sex is all about pleasing your man, then in the midst of raising your children and building your business it’s easy for you to push his needs to the back burner. You may feel that you have the ability to be a good mother or even a good entrepreneur, but as a woman you may not feel up to par. Perhaps you’re heavier than you’d like or you’ve been lax with your personal grooming. You don’t feel sexy so you’re anxious about getting undressed and making love with your man. Although you can use sex to connect with your partner, essentially sex is an expression of your own life force. If women represent love on earth, then it stands to reason that if you deny your sexuality you’re also denying the desires of your soul.
