Kids are sweet, adorable, and fun, but they also have a well-deserved reputation for sending your sex life into a death spiral once they show up. There's the lack of sleep, the fear of getting interrupted just as things are getting good, the fact you probably don't feel as great about your body as you did before kids, and on and on.

And let's face it, after you've been with your partner for a while, sex becomes less spicy than it did when you were first together.

All that adds up to a pretty lackluster sex life for the average mama. But you can and should find ways to get your groove back, and this edition of The Kristen Chase Show has some suggestions. Here's a peek (with some ideas of our own) ... and don't forget to subscribe to the CafeMom Studios YouTube Channel for more ideas!

Ah sex. That thing we love to do but also love to complain about -- especially if you are married or in a relationship. What is it about commitment that makes the sex sometimes become a dreaded act? Or maybe you don't dread it but for some reason that little minx the sex fairy has become extinct in your house?

Well, I'm here to give you some good news that will hopefully come with some good lovin'. I bet your sex life is way better than you think it is. And I'm here to give you three reasons why.

Hey, did you hear the story about the married couple who had too much sex? Of course you didn't. That's one problem married people do not have, especially the ones with kids.

Still, we all manage to squeeze in some sexy time, but not without major effort. It's not easy to go from housework (dishes, laundry, picking gum out of the carpet) to hot and bothered during the typical day.

But a new survey by Zoosk.com promises that mind-blowing sex is just an airplane ride away.  In the poll, 69% or men and 72% of women say sex on vacation is way better than sex at home. To that, I say "Ah, Duh!" Here's why. 

Most of us ladies spend a lot of time managing our lady bits. Between waxing, trimming, and shaving (so as not to appear unruly), we spend thousands of dollars and hours making sure we're in tip-top shape down there.

A couple of years ago, vajazzling -- adding glittery jewels to the bikini area -- was all the rage. A couple years before that, the Brazilian Wax was it.

The newest thing we can do to our vaginas might be a little more awesome: G-Spot amplification, otherwise known as the "G-Shot."

Has someone ever handed you a greeting card that struck just the right sentimental nerve to make you tear up or laugh out loud? They’re great, aren’t they? The good folks over at Hallmark and American Greetings are always touching on some kind of emotion, hence why the card aisle is such a giggly/sighing/awwwing time suck. A simple effort to run in and grab a birthday or anniversary card becomes a study in lost hours. At least for me, anyway.

Given how easy it is for card companies to capture the magic of just about any occasion under the sun—engagements, new pets, dental surgeries—it only made sense for some industrious web whiz to come up with zingers to express the awkward and sometimes debilitating emotions that go along with a divorce or breakup.

Those who say that religion and sex cannot co-exist are missing out on the next big thing -- Christian sex toy shops. These online stores cater exclusively to "married couples" and mention this about 40 times on every page. They also contain no nudity on the packaging or the websites and some make it clear that homosexuality (and sex with hookers!) is wrong.

Still, even with all those -- ahem -- limitations, as a non-religious but happily married woman, I will say this is progress. Because heathens like me aren't the only ones who could use a little spice in their marriage.

If this helps any Christian woman discover her orgasm and improve her sex life and marriage, then whoo-hoo, all praise them! See the (hilarious) commercial below:

We may be loath to admit it, but sometimes we women just want a bad boy. How else can you explain how Bachelorette Ashley Hebert fell to her feet for two-faced suitor Bentley Williams? She may have even realized that he was seriously bad news and would end up breaking her heart, but it didn't matter. Sometimes, we find ourselves drawn to complete jerks over the nicest of guys.

But why? Why do we find ourselves not only infatuated with but actually attempting to pursue relationships with totally toxic men?! Well, scientists believe they've got the fall guy here: Our ovaries. That's right -- our reproductive parts and our fertility are making us chase Mr. Wrong.

The pricey memory foam mattress is known as the "Lexus of mattresses" and is good for many things -- our backs, our sleep, and our general health. But it's very bad for one thing. And that one thing matters a lot. Memory foam mattresses are reportedly bad for sex. This doesn't bode well for the mattress.

Let's face it, mattress fads have come and gone. Between separate twin beds and memory foam beds, there were also water beds and other beds for married couples, but we always come back to the same kind of bed. I wonder why. Just kidding. In fact, I don't wonder at all.

Sure, sleep may be winning NOW (according to Yahoo, memory foam now has a 20 percent market share), but in the long run, people want to have sex in bed. Besides, how great IS the sleep?
