Question:
I was wondering if it is okay to have sex the day before surgery?

Also can you how long in general before I can have sex after surgery. Oh I am having open if that means anything.    — Ashley L. (posted on October 8, 2002)

I am pretty sure your surgeon will say "nothing by mouth" at least 8 hours before surgery- and hopefully you use birth control.

"Nothing by mouth!" What a hoot! You can have sex the day of surgery if you want, hon. It has nothing to do with your procedure. However, I waited 4 weeks for my abdominal muscles to knit together before I attempted having an orgasm. We should all be so lucky as to have this as a concern...Good Luck to you!

I tried to ask this before, but the moderators wouldn't let it through so I'll try it here. After surgery, is it OK "by mouth" - I mean will swallowing hurt us? Can we dump on that? If you don't want to answer here, the email in my profile is active and I do check it. I think this is a legitimate concern and the moderators shouldn't have censored it.

Anon Emus, LOL! If I remember right, in Carnie Wilson's book, she asks the doctor the very same question. He said it would be fine.
