Isn't Masturbation safe sex???

Anyways when ever you are ready!!

hehe! :P

I know, it was a failed attempt at humor... :)

Most docs do say when ever you feel comfortable... I've never heard the six week thing unless your into acrobatics.

Well, maybe. After 50 pounds go away. Hmmm....the possibilities! :D

Whatever is comfortable for you. I started having sex again 2 weeks post op

I hope my husband doesn't read this thread, I told him 6 weeks and he believed me. He doesn't need to know the truth :)

Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Hopefully you get the hormone boost like I did after losing some weight...cause I can't get enough of it. I hope he's doing it right for you! :P

I was able to hold off until I was out of the recovery room. Never thought I would make it that long. :)

Contact your surgeon for the answer. There are differences in all individuals that could come into the answer.

Not everyone gets stitches....I didn't. I had steri strips...and my incisions were completely closed by day five. I had sex at about a week out....and it was great. Heck I gave birth, had my va jay jay stitched up from the v to the a and still had sex less then 3 weeks after that. All those dissolvable stitches were gone by then even.

Try it...if it hurts then don't do it....if it doesn't.....yeah you! Lol

*Giving a standing ovation* Now there's a team player!

My Surgery is on 3.19.13... the bf gives me the "lets have sex everyday until surgery" challenge. Wait till i tell him he has to wait 6 weeks after surgery lol he's gonna go bonkers!

4 days post op here and no problems at all. Just take it easy and make sure you are comfortable. Now isn't the best time to pull out your porno star moves.... ;-)

most say when you feel up to it. I wasn't in the mood till I had my drain taken out the week after.

OMG we started day 4. Things are just heating up for us. Caint wait till I'm 5 weeks out did some one say Acrobatics with my Dh.

Yay

LMAO

Well I guess my hormones are raging cause it seems like once I started, I just couldn't get enough. I guess it was about 6 or 7 days post op. it kinda feels like that glass of juice I've been trying to get down. Tastes so good and I want more but I just look at it and think, imma tackle you again in a few minutes. Brain wants more than the body can handle!

My boyfriend and I hardly ever do it anymore it seems that he always has a reason he can't so I do not have a problem right now
