When to resume sex after hip replacement

PamelaJ1

Seems that the kitchen table might come in handy!…….so sorry everyone I couldn’t resist🤦🏼‍♀️

But make sure you clear the tea things off it first in the case it gets extra lively🤭

3 weeks is too soon but please ask for medical advice first. In the majority of orthopaedic units, the subject is not discussed and it is not on the list of does and donts.

Does anyone screen posts before passing them through to be posted? If this happens where were they when this one slipped through?

People still have sex???

Oh yes but I would advise the OP to tone it down a bit. No more positions like standing up in a hammock.

No they don't. They rely on us to report.

This was fun so I doubt anyone did!

This is ridiculous it does not need screening, for god's sake we are in 2024. Its was a straight forward questions that just needs a straight forward answer, which I sadly don't have as I have not had a hip op as much as I would like one as I need it desperately.

What a stupid question to ask strangers on the internet!! Must be a troll post.

Why not ask faceless strangers on the internet? It's not as though you and ftm420 are going to meet up to discuss the issue. Maybe she is too embarrassed to ask someone face to face. If you don't ask you won't know. If you didn't like the question then you could have scrolled past after the first sentence

I love this post ftm420!
Interesting how many prudes there are on GN :-)
What about spoons? Can you lie on the comfy side? - or isn't there one?
Why not peruse the kama sutra!
Good for you both!

No reason whatsoever why it shouldn't be posted.

This post gets better and better!

…OP … GET A ROOM … as the kids would say😆

Errrr....why?

It's a part of life - and so I guess anyone screening was purely objective and therefore realised "No big deal - part of life - why on earth would we censor a post about life?"

I find it hard to believe that many over 60s are still interested in sex.

Sex is a completely normal activity and I see nothing wrong with talking about it openly. If some of you are too prudish or even offended, then that’s your problem and your loss. You don’t neeed to read it if you don’t want to.
Good on you ftm20 for asking a completely valid question!
And the answer to keepingquiet is a definite YES! Good sex is healthy and makes you feel good at any age. I’m 74 and still enjoy it very much.
From behind is probably best when you have had hip replacement, and he needs to be very gentle. And, as you say, ftm20, he also has hands… Best of luck!

I find it equally hard to believe that so many are squeamish about it.

What's so offensive about this? What's the matter with you people that a mention of sex is so upsetting? I think the table option sounds pretty safe and rather fun but you might want to put a cushion on it (the table) so as to be comfy.

I know. FFS!

Sex is great BUT it’s just that god invented arthritis to put a stop to it 🤣

You don’t ask stranger’s questions like this! You ask your Doctor or Physio !! I don’t think ftm is embarrassed at all,just naive and inexperienced.,she seems to think there is only one position for sex.

Some of you need to go on the sex forum on Mumsnet,it would keep you entertained for days.Posters who aren’t still living in the 1950’s.

So why don't the mumsnet posters ask their doctors?

The sex forum has specific rules different to the rest of the forum to make sure trolls (men) dont use it. Again I know OP isnt a troll but people being wary tends in my opinion to demonstrate considerable experience and a lack of naivety rather than being prudish.

clutching pearls!

So what's the problem, if the op isn't a troll?
Why the need for people to get nasty about her, or to question why people might want sex, or say that they shouldn't ask others, and that it's a stupid question?

Could be a man...

You must be very young to have this attitude! - I'm 76 and still have sex, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here.
