Visited my gp with a tear in my perineum they said to refrain from sex for 6weeks! i know it needs to heal but is there anything i could do so i could have sex/quicken healing time?

"Sexual healing": That is the name of a very famous Marvin Gaye song, but refers to a completely different "experience" than perineal healing. If there is pain from the perineal tear, hot sitz baths help as long as you sit for less than 10 minutes so that bacterial infested water does not infect the site. Otherwise, consider "close encounters of the third kind" and avoid intercourse until completely healed.
