i am not sure why your ob restricted intercourse nor even what he/she considers a "short cervix". unless your doctor prohibited other sexual stimulation for some unknown reason (i do not know your medical history or if you are pregnant) it should be fine. i feel that you deserve a better more-detail explanation as to why intercourse is being restricted but unfortunately i cannot guess as to the reasons. you will need to specifically ask your ob about this recommendation. hi here's a interesting link this should help you. <link> just copy into google to the www. to open and read. but did also read that having orgasms are not that good for your cervix as they tend to move it. so i think your find the no sex does mean no sex or having clitiral orgasms. hope this helps you? good luck
if you have a short cervix and your ob has restricted intercourse can you still stimulate without penetration safely?
