A member asked:
I have a broken back (t8&t12) not yet had surgery - doctor is waiting to see how i heal in a brace, can i have sex?how safe is it&any recommended way?

Unsure: This really depends on type of fracture. If a stable compression fracture of 2 levels without significant deformity, then likely safe in whatever position comfortable. Bracing likely only for comfort and not stability under these circumstances. If fracture more severe, then not prudent. Ask your treating doc for specifics.
