Visit totallyhip.org. Scroll down the main page about half way and click on the sex activity icon. There are some practical guidelines to follow. Most important---talk to your doctor!

It seems that most of you missed my post about the book I highly recommended for those undergoing THR or TKR. It's A Patient's Guide to Knee and Hip Replacement: Everything You Need to Know [Paperback]

By: Irwin Silber, Eugene Wolf

Before reading this book I was scared and clueless about what was going to happen with a TKR. This books tells you everything you need to know, and want to know in easy to read fashion. Dr. Wolf co authors this book with the journalist writer making it a very worthwhile book to read. I've read mine twice already. Yes, it tells about sexual activity with stick pictures for those of you who have asked on this list.
