When to resume sex after hip replacement

Eat it?

I’ll eat it and enjoy it !!

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

Hilarious! For me, after the anaesthetic wore off (it took 8 hours instead of the 4 it usually does) the pain was so intense I was almost scraping along the ceiling!

Sex was absolutely not on the agenda

AGAA4

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

Best suggestion so far!

This is the book my DD bought me after I had my hip replaced.

1st prize for most thoughtful reply!

For heaven’s sake! If you are that offended by somebody asking a perfectly reasonable question, just ignore it! OP is assuming somebody on here may have had a hip replacement and had the same experience. I’m quite disappointed with some of these replies. Good luck OP, sorry I can’t help 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm glad you're not offended, ftm420.

I have to say that I'm so enjoying these posts! You do make me laugh (seriously!) about life!

In answer to the post about whether or not DH is pressuring me - no he isn't. He does have a higher drive and always has. I do my best to 'help' but if I really don't want to, I don't!

Wait otherwise you could end up having to go through it all again and he would have to go longer. Let him use his hands

CariadAgain, slim people maybe nice to look at but they are not always nicer people. My husband isn't svelte (and never has been) but I fell in love with his personality which meant I actually found him attractive. Slim men often change and become larger. If you love them enough, they remain fanciable.

Spooning with him behind you if you want PIV? No leg opening required. Otherwise hands in both directions are probably the safest until you're fully fit again.

True dat - obviously.

I obviously wondered at still fancying a man who she says is very overweight - and then thought "Just because men I've known have always HAD to be slim - otherwise I wouldn't be interested" then I decided I must assume that there are women who fancy overweight men (as goodness knows - so many people, of both sexes, are very overweight these days).

Maybe it's just me that only two of the boyfriends I had were at all overweight and they didnt take long to analyse their chances of staying a boyfriend of mine before they lost that weight LOL.

But - obviously - I do hope indeed that wanting sex is coming from the OP herself and not from her husband. That would be a whole different ballgame if he's pressurising her obviously....

I do hope it’s the OP actually wanting to have sex asap and not that she’s having pressure put on her by her husband ( memories of having a very grumpy unpleasant husband…now ex husband…after having a difficult childbirth ).

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

Why not? We,'re not dead yet!!😂

.....and some of us have done enough research to have a general idea what we're expecting our "life" to be like after we're dead...

....and that has certainly included asking if there's still such a thing as sex. Answer = yes if you want to.....

Mental note = on the "to do" list - at some point after reunions with people, exploring my immediate area, doing the Life Review, etc, etc.

How do you know they are just fantasies rather than personal experiences.😉🤭

Ugh, I don't even want to think about it. 🤢

Ooh I should love to see the illustrations, light hearted or not.

I couldn't possibly comment. I am a virgin. Any of my four children will tell you so.

I just had to laugh and smile at your post even though it must not be funny for you and your dear hubby particularly if he feels like a bit of rumpy pumpy. IT will all happen eventually Mother Nature always finds a way for us mortal humans to carry on with sex even us oldies. Forgive me for talking of sex but I have just been ill and spent 10 ten days in hospital and am now on the mend at home. I have three adult children but have not had a male partner for some years but my illness involved me having a bang to the head and suddenly I am seeing a certain type of man that does it for me and spend about 15 minutes thinking about the actual shenanigans if you get my gist. My happy go there place about 10 years ago was with a certain young man 22 years younger than me the sex was amazing .Right I need to move on now as I am telling you people all my secrets. I do not want sexual activity right now and have had to calm myself my youngest child who is my boy is 39 years old now and has a three year old son so I will not embarass my son by running about with a toy boy I have got all my sexual frustrations out of my system. Have a great day everybody and sending blessings to all. from 3nanny6.

Of course you are. None of our kids want to imagine their parents having sex.

I chose not to read my DIL's erotic novel she published. I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination but I didn't fancy reading about her sexual fantasies. 🫣🤣

I wish I'd asked on your behalf at my pre assessment for THR appointment yesterday but I'm only reading this thread now!

I think I was warned I'd be on crutches for 6 weeks and it would be about 9 months before the hip would be totally healed.

I have a friend in her 80s who is writing a book about sex into old age. Her current boyfriend is in his 90s.

--Some people don't know when to stop 😂🤣--

Love it LOL!

Good for her and, if it's decently-written, then I reckon that's a book that should have a market for it.

Why not indeed? Some people are lucky enough to still have a good relationship going one way or another - even at quite a late age.
