Embarrasing Sex Question
I had my Hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. I know I can't have penetrative sex for 6-8 weeks, but can you still have an orgasm? I was so worried I would lose my sex drive, but boy its still here and worse lol.

Embarrasing Sex Question
Omigosh- I was thinking about this very thing this morning. I had a LSH a week ago yesterday and I was actually wondering if I could have an orgasm today. But I got scared when I realized that the contractions might actually hurt (kind of like it still hurts when I pee), so that kind of ruined the thought.
Anyone else have any experience with this?

Embarrasing Sex Question
After a hyst, your hormones can be all over the place. And you can have a high sex drive as well. It is best to speak to your dr before any sexual activity, including an orgasm. Some drs feel differently about what is okay and what is not. So to insure you know what is right and best for you, you should ask. (They have been asked before!) Best wishes!

Embarrasing Sex Question
Oh...... I thought when everyone was talking about 'outercourse' they were referring to having an orgasm - just without penetration.
I went ahead and had my first orasgm since surgery today. Still works!!! Still just as good! I was afraid of pain or crampiness - but in an earlier post - most people replied it wasn't that bad. It wasn't!
If your doctor gives you the okay - go for it! Removes any question you may be having about your ability to enjoy yourself again.

Embarrasing Sex Question
I too was worried about the orgasm thing. I had a TVH 2 months ago. I still have my ovaries, therefore, still PMS like crazy, but that's beside the point. Anyway, at my consult, I told my DR that I knew I couldn't have penetration for 6 wks, but asked him if it would be ok to do "other stuff" and if an orgasm would hurt me. He said an orgasm wouldn't hurt me and to use my imagination. 1 week after my surgery I couldn't stand it anymore and had one. It was very strong, however, different than before due to not having uterine contractions with it. I think I hurt myself too.....lol Now, I've gotten used to it being strictly vaginal. The 6 weeks of doing "without" made us appreciate things we didn't pay much attention to before which in turn made our sex life even better. We couldn't wait 'til that 6 wk checkup.

Embarrasing Sex Question
Tracy - I am nervous about sex again because I was used to the strong uterine contractions, too. DH and I have been creative so far, mostly for him, but we're going away for a night this weekend and I would really like to enjoy myself, too. So I guess I'm going to have leave my reservations at home!
