When to resume sex after hip replacement

Maybe invest in some sex toys along with massage oils and have a joint session without full blown sex. This might be the time for your husband to refine his foreplay and technique rather than expecting to go the whole hog.

It's slightly amusing in this day and age that anybody should consider this post as explicit.

Woof?

The last thing I would be worrying about. A lovely excuse.

I think you need to ask your consultant this,not us

Shinamae I’m with you! I have three kids. The blooming horrible noises used to make me laugh. Haha!!!

Eek...I hope it was a genuine question as it took me 2 hours to pluck up the courage to post my response 😳

I think I will ditch out gracefully now. As for it being a public forum, the whole point is that it's not 'public' as everyone's anonymous?

Oh well, you live and learn.

Additionally, I never suggested anywhere that we we actually going to do it yet, just that we're planning ahead (so to speak).

But it is public. I remember at least two occasions, when posters have been recognised and been forced to change their user name.

Some of us have met in real life and therefore are not anonymous. Thank goodness you are not part the Glasgow Grans gang, I wouldn't be able to look you in the eye or elsewhere.

Speak with the doctor who performed the operation. Revision surgery is painful, the recovery long, and can be downright depressing. Don’t do anything without medical advice.

Thank goodness I had the smelling salts handy

Haha me too crazyH

Oh Shinamae - love your description and honesty. Same here - celibate I mean. And I have 3 children….I reckon I did it 3 times 😂

Love this thread!

If you look online there is information about this - and also a book you can buy on the subject with suitable diagrams/cartoons. How do I know this? - my DD bought it for me after my hip replacement!!!

I can’t contribute because I’ve been celebrate over 30 years.
(never really liked it, all that huffing and puffing and strange noises emanating from various orifices)
I reckon I’m frigid but have had 4 children 🤷‍♀️

Has Keir Starmer had a hip replacment, then?

I have a struggle put to my tights on, if you can manage you go girl respect.
After three weeks I was still struggling to put my knickers on

I think a group of grans will not be thrown by a genuine question about sex.

This thread now reminds me of more recent gn threads.

I was asked prior to my hysterectomy if I had an active sex life. The consultant said that my answer would impact on how he proceeded and stitched me up. He didn't want to ruin my sex life..

I looked him straight in the eye and said, Of course.
Inside I was cringing. 😊
After all, I was a convent girl and had led a sheltered life. 😉

Has anyone seen my pearls - I really need to clutch them!

😂😂

Surely they give out a post op leaflet covering all bases kind of thing.
🤔

I'd rather ask people here than a consultant.
"Lived experience" isn't it?
I'd be embarrassed by the doctor saying "Well, you could bend over your table...."

I definitely don’t worry about talking about sex, it’s a normal bodily function after all. I just had my bull** antennae alerted when I read the OP.

Oh good grief. Those who expressed doubts arent prudish or think its wrong, they just tend to have a lot of experience of people on the internet.
