Sensitive topic for those who've had TT (s-e-x)

Today I was liberally peppering my dinner when, of course, I gave myself a little sneezing fit. You think I'd learn by now, because it's still very painful and sends my abs into spasms. 

I had this random little thought as I was sitting there wiping tears from my eyes, rubbing my sore tummy. I'm just gonna be blunt and say it. 

Is it gonna hurt when I have an ****** 

I can only imagine that it will, since I'm pretty sure that abdominal muscles are some of the ones that contract when you... you know. My abs don't hurt when I'm just going about my business but they do when I sneeze or try to sit up without using my arms. It's an unpleasant little shock. 

I know it'll get better. It has to. But I don't know how soon. And I *really* don't want to be yelling out in pain and scrunching into a ball if I should happen to meet the pizza delivery guy of my dreams and consummate our eternal love. 

I haven't tested this on my own. (haha! I feel about as randy as a block of ice at the moment). And common sense dictates that at some point I should, before testing it out with someone else.

I don't even really know what I'm asking because I don't expect people to just come out and say "Hey I had my TT last year and my ******s hurt for the first 2 months but now they're great!" because that's pretty personal info, at least for many. I guess I'm just thinking out loud. I am finally starting to love my body. And I'd be lying if I said that sex wasn't one of the top things I'm looking forward to (now I just need a committed monogamous relationship with someone who will treat me with the respect and admiration I'm due- not a tall order at all!). 

Can anyone give me any insight in vague terms? Like "Well I knew this girl once who had a tummy tuck and SHE said..." or can you tell me if your sex life has generally improved, and how long you had to wait for improvement?

Ok so I have no actual answer on this because I'm not quite two weeks out yet and have both the LBL and the new rack to contend with but...

I just have to say that I luv you. I get teased all the time about how open I am with my sharing of info, life's questions and general ponderings. But you've got that plus incredibly fun writing to go with it.

This post made my day even though I can't make yours with an actual answer - although I'm going to have to figure it out too since my husband is freaking me out with his over interest in the state and future state (think drop and fluff and when they'll be more touchable) state of my new hooters. When he asked me about my post op appointment and I told him how I learned to massage them and why and how often  you could tell he was just about to open his mouth and volunteer for the job. I seriously had NO idea how boob deprived this poor guy has been for the past 20 something years together. It's both pleasing and annoying all at the same time.

Reminds me of what Dr. Egrari's coordinator told me when I told her I wasn't sure how much my husband really cared about the plastic surgery I was planning. She said, "Honey, I learned from my husband after my surgery, and from every husband who's been through here that every man is a boob man after surgery. Whether they were before or not." I thought I was getting a sales pitch but darned if she wasn't right.

 Ahahaha you're so sweet! I was hesitating posting this because I was like  ".... Are people gonna think I'm a shameless ho-bag?" But then decided that people probably have already formed their opinion of me and if they do think I'm a ho, then at least I'm a ho who has fun in bed!! Here's to hoping that we'll both be shameless hussies (for one person ;D) soon enough!

 Dang, do you think I could get a doctor's prescription for it? I have a totally hot pharmacist who I'd be happy to redeem it with! (He is missing 3 fingers on one hand, he's always using his stump to point things out on paperwork when he's explaining medicine to me and I'm like, I just want to lick your forehead)

Lizzy, since everyone is so unique and anatomically different, I think your curiosity demands a all hands on deck experience... I think a hands on experience will give you a handle up on your quandry. The first one may be so intense that your concern is well founded and in the midst of your ecstasy to be screaming for joy and pain might be confusing to an unsuspecting stud. I have heard that sex, post plastic due to the body contour changes, is much more stimulating and intense. Please update us on how it all comes out. If your allowed the luxury to sole in a nice warm tub the water could be a stabilizing and soothing stimulant. Hope you find this info. handy in your concerns.

From personal observation, no PS here yet, tight abdomens sound like a kettle drum when you pat on them.  As to the BA going to tread lightly on this one but my experience was positive.  

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Yes. They will hurt like the dickens. Mine still do after some vigorous action with my boyfriend and I'm 5 months out (not during the act itself, but afterwards like I've done a zillion sit-ups).

No experience here from a TT. But when I had my c-section when I was pregnant with daughter I was cut Up and down through muscle and all. I remember being scared of the big O once I had to OK to give it try. It did hurt some. It wasn't as bad as I feared though.

I have to say I love your post. You are very helpful to others and I think your willingness to be so open really helps a lot of people!
