Is anyone else struggling with this 6wk no sex rule?... if so what are you doing to get it off your mind?

I was told three weeks, then no limits, as long as I felt ok, and no pain.

I was told the same 3 weeks as long as i was comfortable

I would do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you can’t have full on sex there are plenty of other ways of achieving satisfaction, get creative and experiment. Use some toys............

I was not given any restriction. I think we waited about 3 days post op. No problems whatsoever.

Yeah, probably all depends on each personal journey. Different factors would come into play, complications, healing process, personal pain tolerance. Always a good choice to follow the doctors orders.

Foreplay. Oral. Massages. Toys. Hands.

6 weeks? I've been married almost 20 years, have 2 teenage daughters, have frequent visits from our parents and the kids friends - 6 weeks sounds perfectly normal!

In regards to post op though, it's the jostling that they want to keep to a minimum. Acrobatic newlywed sex would not be a good idea, but "mom & dad are upstairs so keep it quiet" sex would be totally cool.

I also had no restrictions
