When to resume sex after hip replacement

MissAdventure

I've seen this person post before, so nothing to suggest trolling.

What a fuss about a normal thing!

I think the OP also wondered when she could start running again.

Remember the thread about Botham and the Revitiv machine?
Someone suggested too much vibration could loosen the cement in joint replacements.
Running, sex - whatever, proceed with extreme caution.

ftm I can’t answer your perfectly reasonable question and am surprised it wasn’t raised at your discharge from hospital. I’d suggest contacting either where you had the op done or your GP, or perhaps on the knees and hip thread here.

Its very good you still have a physical relationship!
It's only 3 weeks so try and wait a bit longer for your body to heal.
Do you have a vibrator you could use? Discuss it with your man.

The advice is to wait till the anaesthetic has worn off.

Blow job? Sex toys? Doesn’t have to be one on one

Just imagine arriving in A&E with a painful dislocated hip after inventive cavorting, and being asked how it happened, and the sniggering that would go on behind the, non soundproof, curtains. 😵‍💫!

‘ Inventive cavorting’ is a splendid phrase!

Smelling salts for MissA

Actually what are smelling salts? I always wondered.

My mum swore by her smelling salts.
Its a little bottle of very strong smelling "stuff", though I don't know what.

One sniff is enough to blow your hat off!

Smelling salts contain ammonium carbonate which gives off the pungent smelling ammonia. I remember learning this in a chemistry lesson at school

I like to think I'm broad minded but it's not an appropriate post for this site, or any other for that matter.
If this person hadn't posted before I would expect a group of hormonal teenagers on half term to be taking the p--s. !

It’s actually brightened my day reading all the replies. Obs, I need to get out more!

No idea why you would think that.
I'm pretty sure teens could be far more racey.

It's OK to talk about sex in 2024.

Thank you ladies for smelling salts explanations.

Surely everyone carries smelling salts and wears one's pearls for occasions such as these?

I'm laughing out loud at some of the comments. Soo funny.

My friend said had sex around six weeks, but don't tell his wife.
Plenty advice on Google.
I took think it's a genuine poster, seen them post on other threads

Loving this thread! Haven't got anything I dare add but will keep reading 😂

I can't help the OP as I do not know the answer but surely this is a good place to ask ladies of similar ages, some of whom who will have gone through the same operation.

OP, I hope someone actually helps you although Miss Adventure of 00.48 seems to be on the right track!

I don't understand why the OP doesn't ask her clinicians, who will be better informed of her situation, than those of us on here.

Howeevr, this thread has cheered me up with the witty responses.

I was 83 and widowed when I had my THR so have no advice to offer.

This post reminds me of the early days - when irreverent posts were the norm. Love it.

Ooh you are naughty! 😂
