18. What If You Can't Have Intercourse?

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when intercourse is off the table? Whether it’s due to a medical procedure, temporary recovery, or a more permanent condition, this situation can feel daunting for couples. In this episode, we tell a story of how the doctor's office completely conflated sex with intercourse and the awkward but needed conversation we initiated to get to the bottom of what the paperwork really meant.Spoiler alert...the paperwork should've accurately said, 'nothing inside the vagina'. Not a dildo? A finger? Masturbation? No. And so, simply saying 'no sex' isn't clear enough doctor's orders to help people stay safe.In this episode, we explore creative ways to fuck, deepen connection, and nurture your relationship—without relying on intercourse. We offer ideas and encourage other forms of sex for anyone navigating this challenge, or for anyone else for that matter.
