    Sex question! Advice, Experience, Wisdom, Encouragement?

    Hi all. I feel like I've known you all for such a long time that I can ask you anything! So, here's the skinny. My sex life has been in shambles for several years, first because my giant fibroids made it very painful and scary and then because after my hysterectomy I was scared for a long time that I'd rip my stitches and then in the last year or so I've also had minor pelvic floor issues - no actual prolapse, but lots of weakness from pregnancy, childbirth, fibroids, and surgery.

    The long and short of it is that I want to get it together in this department. For a long time I was both physically and emotionally not there because of my body, but my mind and emotions have finally caught up, but I still feel really nervous about my body. Rationally, I know it's safe. But, I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has dealt with similar fears and insecurities and overcome them. I want to enjoy myself and not be stressed the whole time!

    Any words of wisdom are so very much appreciated!!

    I would say take it slowly, don't rush in at the deep end. Start with just foreplay with no pressure to have penetrative sex, let your confidence build up.

    I agree with catkins, I was going to say the exact same thing.
