Depends: It depends on the type of hernia and technique if repair. For most operations, activity as tolerated by pain is the rule. Check with your surgeon to be sure.

Depends: How strenuous the intercourse is. If your abdominal muscles hurt during the movements than wait. It may take couple weeks to get your stride back.
