Has your definition of romance changed now that you have kids? You're not the only one.

1. Scheduling sex

"I think it's sexy when he schedules sex! As a new parent, that seems like the only way we can have time alone. Before I had a baby, I swore that I would never be one of those people." - kdjudd

2. A man who cuddles - with someone else

"I never knew I'd find my husband sexy because he shows physical affection to our son. Each time they share a blanket, or when he kisses his forehead, I fall deeper in love with my big, masculine beast!" - emnasirboy

3. Diaper changing

"I love when he changes my daughter's diaper in the morning. Something about watching him tend to and giggle with her, while he's still sleepy and topless with bed head and morning breath, makes me fall in love with him over and over again." - MrsBigTime

4. Being left alone

"Letting me sleep in, in the morning, is bound to get him some action that night!" - Mrs&Dr2b

5. Toddler "beauty school"

"He lets our 2-year-old do his makeup. He can really rock the red lipstick all over his face, and I crumble over his dedication to keeping her happy." - rjeller32

6. Drooling

"I completely melt when I see my partner and daughter taking a nap on the couch together, her drooling on him and both completely content." - JVaow

7. Housework

"My husband cleaned the whole house while I was shopping with the girls. He was folding laundry and bouncing my son in his bouncy seat when I got home. Definitely the new sexy." - lindseywit

8. Baby talk

"I find it super sexy when my husband is sweet and full of baby talk when he thinks I'm not around to see and hear it." - Eva D.

9. Wiping up puke

"When my toddler vomits, he cleans it because I'm pregnant and being near it would make me feel sick. Love you, hubby!" - Diana Q.

10. Babywearing

"I've worn my son in the Moby baby carrier since birth - he's four months now and I still wear him. My hubby wore him last Saturday, and I was ready to jump him, if y'all know what I mean!" - Kelly S.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

• Don't flag other users' comments just because you don't agree with their point of view. Please only flag comments that violate these guidelines.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "Report Abuse" link to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them.
