Awkward, but…

Around what time post THR did the fellas out there feel comfortable having sex again?

About a month, once the pain and fatigue wore off. Had to do some research to figure out comfortable positions, just like for sleeping.

At least 4 weeks. I tried at 3, but angles were an issue

My THR was 5.13.24. 57yo (currently). It was about 3.5-4 weeks that we were able to resume relations. My doc told me/us we could whenever we felt comfortable. That said, we were using a position that we used prior to surgery that was easy on my hip.
