Holy crap! I had typed this once and lost it....

Ok so heres the deal. When I met my wife, she was a bordeline nymph. She wanted sex 3 times a day, everyday, and once or twice at night as well. She was the most orgasmic woman I had ever met. Things were great for a long time. PIV orgasms were the rule, not the exception. She even had a few nights of multiple orgasms on the nights her screams didnt make me cum much earlier than I wanted :)

Then came the pregnancy. Her libido dropped, save a for a few days a month when she'd get incredibly horny, and then it was a bit of work to get her off. We figured (and read in several books) that it was normal pregnancy issues do to the extra flow of blood in the area, and never really gave it a second thought.

When she finally had our son last november (7 weeks early if it matters) we were very eager to get things rolling again. After the stiches came out, and things got more into a norm, we were back at it like bunnies. And slowly but surely her libido was warming back up. Although the problem was starting to rear its ugly head, and we never realised it then. After she had an orgasm, she would go completely numb. Im talkin she could have birthed another baby and not known kinda numb.

Again, we thought it was probably normal, and things would get better. We were horribly wrong. It has gotten to the point now that she in almost completely numb, her orgasm is only attainable by some very vigorous oral sex marathons, in which Im damn near chewing on her clit in order to get the right sensations up. Her g-spot is also on the fritz, as touching it gives her the sensation of getting ready to puke.

Our sexlife had degraded to the point that although Im sure she meant well, it felt like my wife was giving me an oil change. I'd even catch her watching TV or something, just politely waiting till I was done. I found myself watching more and more porn, not so much to see the sex, but just to hear the sound of a sexually satisfied woman (even if she was faking it, I didnt care).

We've decided to actively pursue this problem, and yall wonderful people are one of those steps. Figured someone might have an idea on whats going on, or a suggestion of what to do.

As soon as my wifes insurance kicks in, she'll be doctor bound with this problem as well, but untill then, were kinda stuck with what we can learn and such on our own.
 
I can't speak from personal experience, but I'm a good researcher!
If your wife had an epistiotomy, this might help:

If she had a C-Section, this might help:

When you get insurance, you should probably see a female urologist, or at least ask your OB if a urologist is better suited to do the necessary tests and treatment. It also sounds like there's an emotional component that may be pointing to post-partum depression, so ask the doctor about that. In the meantime, try posting on OBGYN and Female Urology boards, submitting questions to the doctors on these sites, etc.
 
Regarding the depression, most cities have sliding-scale fee clinics based on your income. Even with insurance, I've never been charged more than $65 to see the doc at one of these clinics (they keep costs down so it's affordable for everyone). It'd be worth it to check it out to make sure she's ok while you're waiting to see the specialists. I'm not sure where you are, but you can try looking under "Community Health Clinics" or your state's and county's health department pages.
 
I am by no means an authority on this subject, but I have been with my husband for over 17 years and this has happened to me on and off for most of those years. I cannot explain it, whether it is a mental thing or a physical thing. We'd be O.K. for a while and it would happen again. I love him very much, but I was just never in the mood. I have never seen a doctor about it, I am too embarassed.
There were times that I think he was ready to leave me because of the lack of sex. After I had my daughter, I think the pressures of motherhood were involved. Even though you think you do, men don't have the same responsabilities as women when it comes to kids. Sex was always on the bottom of the list of things to do. Laundry, cleaning, lunches, and what about just private time with no "mom, I need this or that". We need private time with our spouse, but also for ourselves. By the time the day was done, I was ready for bed and I mean sleep not sex.
We have been fine for a while now and have even started trying some new things. I do have a couple of suggestions for you though.
Even though you might think this is stupid, these are a few things that made me attracted to my husband. Offer to take the kids out of the house for a few hours so she can do whatever she wants. When the baby cries or the kids call her, be the one to say "mom's busy" and handle it yourself. When an occasion for gifts comes up, surprise her with something that she likes that you don't like just to show that you actually thought of her. What I mean is like my husband hates that I wear flannel pyjamas, but for Christmas he bought me flannel pyjamas. That made me want him more.
There's also the fact that when there are kids, you never know when one could show up in the middle of something. When they're in a crib you're O.K.but just wait until they sneak up on you in bed. I always have this in the back of my mind during sex, sometimes I can't get in to it because of this.

I know your wife wants to want you, she just can't get it out.
