Lou, One more thing: I'm not sure that MrHP ever had (or it's been a long long while) enough of a fascination with my body to have surgeries or illness make a difference in how he feels about it.
For a while I was really worried that him seeing me deliver 3 babies (2 of them in our home, in our bed) would ruin that area forever but it didn't. He is not nearly as interested in my breasts, since I am nursing, and even told me that they are overexposed and, therefore, not sexy.
The part that is bothering him are the little gasps I involuntarily give out upon thrusting during IC. I can't help it, he can only go in so far before it starts to hurt. It SUCKS for both of us. Knowing that this is going to happen naturally ruins the experience for him. He's gotten used to it (how sick is that!) but it is constantly on his mind, of course.
