Congratulations, you and your partner have had a child! Everyone is healthy, you're beginning to get into the swing of parenthood, and your lady love has returned from her maternal care provider after her six week appointment with some good news: sex is (physically) back on the table. You can practically hear Beethoven's Ode to Joy playing in the back of your mind. Chances are you'll be happily humping one another with no significant problems, but pregnancy and childbirth change people as well as bodies. You've gotta play it cool, man, because there are things no grown-ass man will say during postpartum sex.
Look, I get the instinct: seeing your partner's naked, gyrating body for the first time in a long time may prompt you to begin to start discussions about said naked body, especially regarding the changes that have occurred since the last time you got to be intimate with them. It's like the sexy equivalent of running into someone after high school and thinking, "Oh wow, you do not look like the kid I knew so well a while back. You're, um, different."

Never, ever attempt any of the following obnoxious statements or questions...
