Bad Back? 6 Tips For Pain-Free Sex

4. Undress first. As I have said before, when dealing with back pain, thoughtful preparation goes a long way, and not just when it comes to your position. In the throes of passion, we are not necessarily paying attention to anything besides our sensations.

6. Make sex fun. If you are up for it, why not bring some spice into your bedroom? Try playing doctor.
