Hello,  I am a newlyweds and have only been married for 2 1/2 months and I love my husband more than anything in the world, but we don't have sex like newlyweds should be having. When we do have sex, its great.

How do we have more sex? We are trying to have a baby.   I know from my part, its has a little to do with the fact that I am a little overweight.

Help me!  I want to have more sex with husband.

Do you ask for more sex?

Do you come on to him?

There is not such thing as how much sex you "should" be having. If it's good, it's good. If you want more, let him know.

Is he on board with having a baby so soon? What about the time to adjust to being married?

I do ask for more sex, but I don't think its in the right way. I don't really come on to him because I get alittle embarassed and don't really know what to do.

My husband is totally on board with us having a baby so soon.  We talked it about it prior to getting married.

I guess I need some ideas on how to come onto my husband.

Luckily guys are usually quite happy for a straightforward approach to this. Just asking him in a mischievous voice what he's up to later this evening may be enough to give him the message, getting into bed, snuggling up against him and letting your hand wander is probably more than enough - particularly if you get into bed naked.

I used to be embarrassed to speak up and ask for what I wanted when it came to sex too. I've gotten a lot better at it over the years, and practice does help it get easier. Especially when he responds in a favorable way :-)

Here's a great article that Tracy wrote a while back, and it's full of ideas:

5 Things That Can Ruin Your Sex Life (and how to avoid them)

Another thing that I think helps is flirting with him throughout the day. Keeps everything in gear.
