After six months, Jess and Sal are still living the honeymoon -- sex in the hall, sex on the stairs, sex on the kitchen floor. Life couldn’t be more perfect. Enter Jess’s little brother, Teddy.

A kid in the house, however, means getting together is no longer just a matter of wrestling to see who’s going to top, or stashing little bottles of lube in convenient places.
