Is Your Sex Life Doomed When You're Recovering from Sickness or Surgery?

Bodies need repairs. Sex gets postponed. Here's how to get through it.

You planned for everything. Time off work. Meals prepped. Help lined up. But nobody told you what happens to your sex life during recovery. And now you’re a month in, realizing: oh. We can’t do that.

Sickness and surgery—they’re part of aging. And they don’t have to mean the thrill is gone. Just postponed.

But only if you handle it right. Open communication. Managed expectations. Grace for the mess.

Sex IRL 💋 is a reader-supported publication. You can unlock the full experience 🔐 for the cost of a bad cup of bougie ☕️.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to handle sex during recovery.

Managing expectations. Avoiding resentment. Keeping the sexual energy alive even when you can’t act on it.
