Joyful Sex With Joint Pain

Luckily, it’s easy to find new positions that put less strain on achy joints, so your sex life stays steamy!  If movement causes you pain, ask your partner to provide most of the acrobatics. You may prefer a position that lets you move away if you suddenly experience joint discomfort. When a man has hip or knee problems, he can lie down on his back with pillows for support. His partner can then support her weight on her elbows and/or knees.  When a woman has hip or knee pain, both of you can lie down on your sides, with a pillow between the woman’s knees. The man should then enter from behind.  The goal is to work together for your mutual pleasure and comfort. Learning what your partner enjoys will give you confidence that you can safely please your mate!
