When a doctor says no sex, he means no vaginal penetration, and generally nothing much involving your genitals. That leaves your mouth an option- unless your husband's or doctor's name is Clinton- in which case it could mean any number of things depending on the definition of "is". Seriously though- it means nothing involving your genitals. You really do need the healing time and nothing needs to be jiggled around just yet- gently or otherwise.

other form oral sex will give some satisaction and both should understand to see that the partner pschologically satisfied without any undue pressure and using oily cream before sex to the parts and best wishes for happy sex but no force and gentle means touching rose flower. Never get disappointed. The doctors always 1000% careful and want their name should not be spoied by the society

I would say none of the above, dont have sex, dont masturbate, dont try to have an orgasm. Even just masturbating, it's common to flex the tummy muscles especially during orgasm, it might not be something you can control and it could be strenuous and might affect the hernia. WOuldn't want to do anything to make it worse or take longer to heal!

I would avoid even ‘gentle’ intercourse till the doctor approves it. They are there to help you and give you the best advice. Emergency rooms are full of people who didn’t follow directions or thought they knew better.

NO!! I'm pretty sure your doctor said no sex for a reason, not to torture you and your husband. Just think of what great sex you will have after you wait for three weeks!
