Aibu to be so upset about the upcoming loss of my cervix (Mumsnet wisdom required)

[Pulipatchouli]

I found out Friday that I need an emergency total hysterectomy.
I have been single for four months, after being in a sexless marriage for many years.
Discovering and exploring sex has been an absolute delight over recent months.

Am I unreasonable to think the cervix is an essential piece of kit for sexual sensation?
Please help here. I feel like my new found freedom and enjoyment has been dashed already. And I know I should be grateful because I have a giant fibroid wreaking havoc on my life. But I feel so sad.

Speaking from experience, it’s not the same but there’s still a lot of fun to be had without one.

I’ve had a hysterectomy with my cervix removed and still have a good sex life. I’ve always come from clitoral stimulation rather than penetrative stimulation. Not sure if that makes a difference. I still have intense orgasms and usually have loads of them in one session. Hope all goes well with you operation.
