Amy Schumer Opened Up About Having Sex After Giving Birth And It Was As Brutally Honest As You'd Expect
"Otherwise you’re just like roommates."
If there's one thing we know about Amy Schumer, it's that she isn't afraid to be honest. In fact, she recently told BuzzFeed that she "doesn't believe in TMI". We love to see it!
And in keeping with that belief, Amy recently made an appearance on the What To Expect podcast, opening up about her life as a new mother, including her sex life with husband Chris Fischer.
"You can’t have sex for like six weeks, you know?" Amy said of her post-partum sex life. "I was hoping it was going to be longer than that because they just like sliced my FUPA open."

"I’m not like dying to, you know, get pounded from behind, thank you very much," she added. "So I was very down to wait the six weeks and then, and then it was nice."
She went on to say that she and her husband make plans to have sex "once a week" in order to avoid feeling "like roommates".
"We're really good about having sex once a week," Amy said. "We just keep it going because you have to, otherwise you're just like roommates, and then it’s weird that you're having sex."

"We make a plan," she explained. "We go like, 'Let's have sex tomorrow or Tuesday. That'll be a good day.' And then we do it and we go, 'That’s great. We should do that more,' but we still just do it once a week."
During the interview, Amy also opened up about their plans to have other children, explaining that while the couple had gone through IVF, she doesn't believe that she will ever be pregnant again.

"I also have really bad endometriosis and the Adenomyosis," Amy said, referencing her difficult pregnancy with her 1-year-old son Gene. "I could have a baby again, physically, but it might kill me."
She went on: "We got some embryos and I went through IVF and we got one normal one and two mosaics. We're thinking seriously about taking the surrogacy route. COVID-19 kind of put everything on hold, but of course we do want more. I hope that's in the cards for us."
