Sex after surgery...

Just wondering, how long does one have to wait, or should wait after surgery before becoming sexually active again? My boyfriend is patient but I am feeling the "drought". Its only been 10 days though so I am not up for hurting myself!

  • LOL... too funny! Don't hurt yourself, but you can have sex as soon you feel up to it! I felt well enough 5 days in.... and 6 days, and 7 and...

  • Some programs give a time (mine said 30 days), but most are less. The consensus here is be gentle and have fun.

  • Rule of thumb: take it easy and do it when you're ready. Just don't push yourself. Foreplay is easier and helps with the drought feeling

I had sex at day 6, It was very carefully. Then again at day 9 and was much less carefull. Rockin' it fully now at day 18. and the 20 lbs off helps!

My dr said whevever I was up to it. I gave my husband a "special treat" at day 6 and waited for sex until about 2 weeks.

Good luck! And have fun!
