The return to sexual intimacy is therefore part of this context of questioning and steps to take. According to Health Insurance, it is recommended to wait “around 2 weeks before having sex”. In particular to avoid an infectious risk. But according to Sandra Saint-Aimé, “to allow yourself to regain pleasure, to rediscover the erotic side of the body, it is above all necessary for the woman to be fully recovered on the physiological level of course and then emotionally. She must take the time to feel good in her life, then in her relationship, before feeling ready to bring pleasure back to her body.”
Express your feelings
To achieve this – and unsurprisingly – “communication within the couple is essential”. You’re not ready to find intimacy as a couple again? “We have to express it,” insists the sexologist, before illustrating: “I want things to get back to their place but I’m not at that stage yet.” And to recommend pressing “again”, to be part of “an ongoing evolution”.
And the partner?
Same advice to the partner: speak! Don’t know what to say? Say it with your words! For example: “I feel destabilized, saddened. But I’m here. Take your time.” For Sandra Saint-Aimé, “the challenge remains above all to make it clear to the other person that they are not alone”, in a process which could also lead to discussing a new pregnancy project.
