Q:

My husband is coming home from his first deployment im a few month, and we're both nervous about the sex. Is it different when they first come back? Is it okay to do it the minute we get home from the airport, or should we wait a day or two like the deployment manual suggests?

A:

Congratulations on making it through your first deployment. First, it's normal to be nervous about the sex, and it will probably be different unless your husband has been getting tips from your boyfriend. Although different "deployment survival guides" advise waiting a few days, it's actually completely up to you and your husband to decide when the time is right.
