Introduction <p>Healthcare providers are involved in helping people who have just given birth understand their postpartum experiences. However, when it comes to sexuality, these discussions are often limited to the resumption of penetrative sex. As such, there may be a “missing discourse” of sexual desire (as coined by Michelle Fine) in education about postpartum sexual desire.</p> Methods <p>From February to September 2021, we asked people who had recently given birth (<i>N</i> = 202) questions about their postpartum experiences with healthcare providers in relation to sexual desire in an online survey, and we conducted subsequent descriptive analyses.</p> Results <p>Healthcare providers rarely discussed sexual desire or postpartum sex outside the resumption of penetrative sex and were unlikely to suggest additional resources about postpartum sexual desire. More than half of participants sought out additional information about postpartum desire from other sources, such as online forums. Participants’ responses indicated that they were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with the information they received, which may reflect low expectations for receiving information regarding desire.</p> Conclusions <p>Our results are in line with research on youth sex education and provide insight on the current state of adult postpartum sex education.</p> <p>Policy Implications</p> <p>This study has implications for birthing people and those who provide healthcare for them, as well as the fields of obstetrics, public health, and sexuality research. They contribute to a more inclusive discourse of sexual desire that expands beyond heteronormative approaches.</p>
