Limited Hip Mobility + Sex

Q: What are some tips for limited hip mobility?



A: Thanks for that question! To begin, I urge you to broaden your idea of what sex is and can look like. Most people think sex has to fit into this preconceived mold of what we’re taught it is supposed to be. But sex can look like many different things, and it’s really up to the individual and their partner(s) to define it. Sex can be cuddling, or mutual masturbation, or instructing your partner on what to do to themselves or you, etc.



To answer your question more specifically, think of the positions (not sex positions) that your body naturally likes to be in. Do you like laying on your side or your back, or sitting in a chair? Then try to adapt your sex around the positions you are most comfortable in. Maybe having your partner go from behind would be better as you don’t have to spread your legs. Also, talk to your partner about what you can and can not do, and then be open to brainstorming new ways of doing things together! You might be surprised that your partner has ideas that you have not thought of! So creativity, working with (not against) your body, and communication will be key to navigating sex with limited hip mobility.
