Follow up to your previous post about edward not thinking vampires are attractive! Do you think Edward thinks Bella is attractive as a vampire? Do you think they have less sex because of it? Do you think bella would even notice if they did or just chalk it up to something random because how could edward not love her when shes a beautiful vampire goddess? So many thoughts on their love life
Canonically
Well, he says he does.
Bella after having transformed asks Edward just this. With her blush, her warmth, her scent, and all the features Edward praised gone does he still find her attractive. Edward responds that this is much better, she's no longer fragile, she's still warm, he no longer has her scent driving him insane, and yes he misses the blush but not as much as he thought he did.
However, after having read Midnight Sun wher ehe hyperfocuses on these features, to me it sounds... not only rehearsed but like what Edward himself wants to believe. He didn't replace those features with things he still loved about her/liked better as a vampire, he more or less eloquently said, "Ah ha ha ha, don't worry about it" in a way so that Bella is reassured and he is as well.
(And Bella's in part reassured because she wants to be and turning into a vampire was the only solution she had to keeping Edward's attention.)
In other words, given how ghoulish vampires appear to Edward, color me dubious. However, he will never say as much to Bella or admit as much to himself without a lot of prompting.
What Will This Do to Their Sex Life?
Honestly, and we see this somewhat in canon, I think they're going to be having a lot of sex. Sex is the only thing holding these two together, and deep down, they know it. They don't particularly enjoy each other's company or personalities, not when you get down to it beyond "Me Human, You Vampire" and now that Bella's human... they're on equal footing in a way that their relationship really can't survive. There's no mystery to Edward because Bella's a vampire and a Cullen too, he's no longer enigmatic because she herself is enigmatic. On Edward's end, Bella's no longer human, no longer something beyond his family.
There's no more cuddling on couches in awe of how different the other is. No more listening to Bella's heartbeat or watching her sleep.
They have nothing to talk about.
So, what's left but sex and telling themselves it's great that they're finally having sex with someone they love? Add onto this that Edward's supposed to have everything he wanted, he's supposed to be attracted to Bella, and he'll be as overzealous as he can in frequently making love to her to both prove himself a man (as he always felt like the odd man out/a child when he was the only one unpartnered) and to prove his love and attraction to his wife.
That sex life, however, is also the most tepid thing imaginable.

I know that this couldn't had happened in canon, but:
What if Tanya and Edward had sex before Edwaed meet Bella? (Meaby it was a one night stand and Edward was curious how sex feels like. Long story short they had sex! )
How would Bella feel when she finds out? Would Edward even want Tanya at his wedding with Bella?
It would be Edward's greatest shame.
He would view it as a moment of weakness/impulse/inferiority where he felt the need to know what it is to be a man, even if he wasn't in love with Tanya or married to her, and now he went and lost his virginity in an experience that ultimately meant nothing to either of them.
Edward would be very haunted by this having happened.
And he would be terrified of Bella ever finding out.
It'd be one thing for him to have a prior love (also bad) but the fact that he didn't love Tanya and just... did it anyways is not something he'd want Bella knowing and he'd be terrified that she'd lose interest or think less of him because of it.
As it is, Bella wouldn't be surprised/think less of him, but she'd be terrified of what it means for her. She's not Edward's first, she never will be, he had sex with a very experienced, beautiful, woman who adores him and if Tanya wasn't good enough how could Bella possibly be?
They would both live in terror of this fact and Bella would be terrified on her wedding night and afterwards of "... was it not as good?" which is hard for Edward to say "yes" when the first time he severely bruised her (which is kind of what happened in canon except not as bad).
