Back Too Bent out of Shape for Sex

Question

My husband of 5 years is a hard-working, blue-collared guy who is full of energy, both in and out of the bathroom. However, because of a back injury he recently suffered through, it's been difficult for him to have sex with me. We tried a couple of positions, but nothing really helped. There are even times when we can't finish because it's too painful for him. What sort of positions are best for those experiencing lower back injuries?

If you have suffered any type of back injury, the best position is laying flat on your back. Laying flat on a bed takes all of the pressure off of the spine. Back injuries can be really frustrating, and I am glad you and your husband are trying to smile (and have sex!) through the pain. What might be best is a very short sex session where he is laying flat on his back. Yes, maybe not the most entertaining, but for now, that is all his back may be able to handle. As his back starts to heal and get slightly better, you might be able to have him on top, and maybe him standing straight with you sitting on a table. Be ready, though, because any weird angles, or staying in one place for too long, can twinge the back and cause his injury to flare up again. You might want to take a few weeks off, just to let his back heal. In the meantime, find other ways to enjoy each other physically. And if you do decide to have sex, have him take his pain meds (or over the counter pain relief) before your romp sessions.
