Sex and a heart ❤️ condition

by Gemita - 2021-06-30 19:55:48

I see you have had a pacemaker for many years, so what you can and cannot do will not be new to you, so why the question?  I do not believe you need to concern yourself about a "safe" position, unless you have just recently received a new implant, since I note you are on your second implant which looks to be 10/11 years old?

For members who are in a loving relationship and are concerned about having sex with a heart condition, or soon after a pacemaker implant, I attach a link which might reassure and be helpful

Education about sex

I suggest you go north and visit the Temple at Khajurho, India. There you will find positions to suit every occasion carved into the stonework. Education in this field is not within the usual remit of physicans. 

Take heart, your ancestors knew a thing or two. At least with a pacemaker you are less likely to have a cardiac arrest. I am very pleased that you now have a fully charged battery.

I was told something similar after I got my first pacemaker, the doctor laughed when I asked if sex was safe and he said, it's actually safer now cuz your ticker isn't going to stop.  He the. Told me told me I had doctors permission to let my inner wild child out.

On a serious note, if your not in the first 4-6 weeks post implant any position should be just fine.  Within the 4-6 weeks follow doctors restrictions on arm movement and total weight support for the arms.
