After a lumpectomy, how is a guy suppose to approach that area during love making?


my bride has always liked attention to be paid there... she isn't kean to talk about it, so how should I be thinking about it after she has healed?

If she is hesitant to talk about it, don't push it.
Let her open up, you will feel her reaction no doubt
when you touch her after she heals. I found some websites that address this subject maybe she will be ready to read them:

The best thing you could do for her, after her breast has healed from the surgery, is to treat her breast like you always did. Don't shy away from touching, caressing, kissing, etc.
