Research on the influence of gynaeco-obstetrical surgeries have on sexual behavior during the postpartum period has narrowly focused on women. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyze the impact of physiological delivery, episiotomy and Cesarean section deliveries, on males' sexual restart. Men living in the metropolitan area of Mexico City, whose descendants were born in any of these situations, were interviewed, and the content of their verbal responses analyzed. Results show that health complications derived from childbirth in these circumstances, but especially episiotomy and Caesarean section, delayed men's sexual restart. Findings also suggest that such childbirth conditions affected the form, experiences and meanings of sexual restart. The quarantine and the fragility attributed to the feminine body as convalescing from childbirth involved sociocultural practices and conceptions also contributing to postponement. Findings suggest that the professionals of both gynaeco-obstetrics and behavioral disciplines should advice men, not only women, in a systematic, open and timely way, on sexuality, pregnancy, uterine gestation, gynaeco-obstetrical interventions and puerperium, in order to contribute to the health and well-being of the couple, its family and each of their members individually.
