Babeland, the woman's sex toys and sex education shop on Bergen Street just released their schedule of Sexy Moms events. They've been in business for 16 years (a little more than 1 year in Park Slope) and they see their mission as encouraging personal empowerment, community education and support for a more passionate world—and lets not forget loads of vibrators and other interesting sex implements. Babeland Brooklyn is located at 462 Bergen Street between Flatbush and 5th Ave.
Last spring, I went to the Talking to Your Kids About Sex workshop with Amy Levine and will probably attend this one, too. It was great. The next event is on August 26th at 7 pm.
Desire, Sex and the New Parent

This month’s Sexy Moms event will feature Shara Frederick, an active Dona
Certified Labor Support Doula and founder of Tots-n-Tonic – a citywide happy
hour that brings new moms together for socializing and support, who will

back into their sex lives. This topic is ideal for new moms, moms-to-be, and
parents of small children who are wondering why their sex lives took a
detour once the baby arrived! Complimentary refreshments will be served
