Simply because
intercourse is out of the question, at least temporarily, there are other
methods to engage in that help the couple’s release a bit of pent of energy. It
is safe for the woman to have an orgasm and doing so will help to strengthen
the muscles of the pelvic floor. Here are some activities that you can enjoy
together until she is ready to participate fully in intercourse.
·
Hand-petting
of the woman by the man (manual stimulation)
·
He can use his
fingers to stimulate her clitoris but should avoid putting his fingers inside
until her healing is complete. The clitoris will get a lot of attention during
this time
·
The woman can
perform oral sex on her partner
·
Caressing of
each other’s bodies
·
Anal sex is
all right as long as there are not hemorrhoids present and you both agree.
Remember to use a condom if you engage in anal penetration
Activities to be
avoided during this time:
Oral sex should not
be performed on the woman by her partner for at least the first few months
after childbirth for a couple of reasons: 1) doing so may introduce infection
into the vagina and womb, and 2) blowing air into the vagina can cause an air
embolism and lead to death. Find ways that the both of you can use to help each
other. Over time, the woman will feel comfortable having sex again.
