Sex. Seriously how long after surgery should I wait?

Sex was never a problem for me. I’m just wondering how long did you guys wait to start having sex again. I’m 3 days out, probably to soon...

      8- days Pffft! 4 weeks! I would never be able to wait 4 weeks. Just sayin' How sore are your incisions - abdomen? I would go by that. No gymnastics and no crazy positions. I suggest side-by

    I suggest side-by-side or some other 'not much full frontal' contact position. You can always abandon the attempt ya know and go for a 'different' creative finish.

    Wait?? Why would anyone wait! ☺️ J/K I say once the pain stops the fun starts. I have two children both born by cesarean and boy did I not wait 6 weeks. Bad bad me ?

    Thanks for the ideas. There is no way I’m waiting 4 weeks. Honestly my soreness just feels like I did an intense an workout.

    I'm sure the recommendation to wait is just like exercise, to allow a full recovery and prevent a hernia.

    However, I imagine the time period in the real world is different for everyone.

    Being overweight has definitely impacted my libido so 4 weeks is probably a shorter period than what our current rotation is. lol Hoping this surgery helps me get back on track.
