The elephant in the room
Thanks for posting this. I haven't had surgery yet but this is a big question for me. I have often had big flare ups after sex and know some things that clearly don't work for me. I love to please my partner but I'm practicing saying to myself, I'll do it when "I" feel comfortible. I can't see that happening for at least six weeks. For the last few tests (discogram and facet block) they really wanted me in a flared state. I told that to my partner and he gave me a big smile. He always asks if I have any more "big" spinal tests coming. I'm hoping pre surgery I can give him some great memories that will last until I feel comfortable. Thanks for the link that showed some creative positions. I will tell you this that when I have surgery I am hiding the viagra!
