you made me think will i actually want sex?

you made me think will i actually want sex?

All these sex posts have made me wonder how long the "problem" has been me and I did not pay enough attention until I no longer "couldnt" and now I guess it makes sense. Did the rest of you have a hard time before surgery, before you knew you needed surgery? I thought it was just because my husband needed to lose weight??? Sorry, too much info?

Yes - if it involved any "work" on my part. But then it also could have been the fact that I had 2 small children at the time and it wasn't my heart!

Ben - I don't think age has much to do with it - you're a GUY! Men supposedly think about sex once every 5 minutes, over 200 times in a day. The joke around our house for quite some time would be when my husband would look over at me and say "34" or "159".

sex and kids before surgery

sex and kids before surgery

I have a child with autism and epilepsy so I wonder how often I ever have to worry about "it"

Okay Anne -out with it! We want details - that don't have to be bleeped at least. We won't tell anyone!!!!

Hey.... c'mon.... perhaps Ann's not one of those "kiss & tell" kinda gals. After all, it's not like she's out cavorting with David Beckham..!!

(...you're not out cavorting with David Beckham..... are you.... Ann..??!!! ..)

*raises eyebrows*

*daydreams*

Would be nice to share some of those thoughts with a female . LOL!

I don't think age has much to do with it - you're a GUY! Men supposedly think about sex once every 5 seconds, over 17,280 times in a day. The joke around our house for quite some time would be when my husband would look over at me and say "34" or "159".

FIXED!

 

[Karlynn]

FIXED!

I was hoping no one would catch on. The 200 was for men that aren't considered normal. I should have figured you'd notice.

 

[Ross]

What can I say, I'm hormonally challenged. What really stinks is to have all this desire and no air to do much about it!

 

[dwfreck]

Ross,

In defense of Karlynn, mathematically speaking, 17,280 is still "over 200", so you're both still correct.

Leighanne,

I knew I would need surgery for approximately 4 years, it was just a matter of waiting for my valve to deteriorate enough to justify the surgery. During that time I helplessly watched my cardiovascular stamina decrease, and impact all kinds of activities, including sex. Yet, I during much of those 4 years, I just assumed I was just getting more and more out of shape.

Karlynn,

I can assure you that I DID NOT think about sex AT ALL during the entire 5 days I was in the hospital. Quick, how many 5-minute intervals would that be?

*raises eyebrow*

You didn't?

Hmmm...

*rubs chin*

Guess you didn't have cute nurses like I did .

 

[Harpoon]

In defense of dwfreck in defense of Karlynn, I didn't think much about sex in the hospital either and I was there for 9 weeks plus.


However, I did have one particularly racy dream/hallucination that I just won't get into at the moment......


Man those were some GOOD meds!


Yeah. After I got out a guy who works with my dad and knew what I had been through called the house and asked how I was doing. he asked if I had "checked it" while I was in the hospital, to make sure everything still worked....


Believe me, that was the LAST thing I was worried about working during my stay in Cleveland!!!


And yeah, I had some very nice nurses, but I'm a decent man, really....

Well....

Ummm...


Yeah, I'm decent...



Just don't ask my wife OK?


insert evil sly grin here

 

[Johnny Stephens]

Ditto, Harpoon. I could barely walk, I couldn't eat...I mean REALLY now, I was supposed to be thinking about that TOO? Sheesh. That "every five minutes" bit I might have bought when I was 17, but when I've just emerged from OHS -- sorry.

 

[Les]

After both AVRs..."SCHWING" wasn't even in my vocabulary...

 

[Ross]

Can't say that it was for me either. Couple of the cutest nurses were the meanest ones there and I frankly didn't want them near me. Anything that was good looking in there=The Devil!

 

[Bryan B]

Interesting...I'm single like Cort and I was thinking about it less than 24 hours after surgery...that's when the 1st nurse in the step down unit paid a visit to my room (she was a real cutie ). It's not that I felt like doing anything about it at the time, but it was nice to be thinking about it again. Until I had the surgery (and the 5+ weeks of recovery since) I didn't realize how "fatigued" I was for a long time before the surgery.

 

[Glenda]

Bryan I love the new picture

 

[tobagotwo]

I'm with you, Bryan. Those thoughts never left my mind. The Foley made them disconcerting, though.

When they sent me home on day three, the nurse said "...you may resume sexual relations..." and I grinned and stuck my tongue out at my wife, who sighed and rolled her eyes. No rest for the weary.

I think she's really still extremely concerned that I will hurt myself in some dire way during the process, even though I haven't damaged myself yet. I realize at some level that I can't guarantee that I won't. In fact, I'd probably be thinking, "what a way to go!" Not much solace for her, I guess.

Any thoughts how to help a spouse know that she's not being negligent recovery-wise when she sends hubby on a little trip to cloud nine during his recovery phase?

 

[Blanche]

In 1990, when Al had his valve replaced, people were required to wait for two weeks before having sex. On his exit visit, the doctor told AL that he could resume sexual relations, with a known partner, in 8 days. Of course, you see it coming. My dear one had to ask, "How long before I can have sex with an unknown partner?" I kept close watch on him after that...just in case!
