I have the flu. What kind of sexual activity can I have with my fiance that I will not give him the flu? I know I can't kiss him!

Intercourse is fine, oral play is not (germs in the mucal tissues). I don't recommend even kissing his fingers, he may scratch his eyes or nose.

What FLU are you referring to?
Common Flu, IF THATS what you have, while being infectious from breathing and touching, may NOT necessarily
mean he will contract FLU from you.(particularly IF he has had a yearly Flu shot)
The new Strain Influenza A is different, and thankfully at this time of the year, it appears to be abating.
the "A" strain is HIGHLY Infectious, not JUST by breathing on him, NOT just by touching him, BUT..Him touching anything you have touched..such as a Phone etc. even a simple door knob or the button on your toilet.
So, having sexual relations ISNT the only way YOU can infect him (and others) IF you have Strain "A".
I hope you dont..Has your doctor told you that you DO have Strain "A" or is your diagnosis of the FLU self-diagnosed?
..
The bottom line is.. you are sick..have concern for others..and yourself. Keep contact with "anyone" to a bare minimum, for at least 3 days after you have the FLU symptoms.

The flu virus is spread by the sheading of the virus from the nasal and throat area of the body. Sneezing propells thousands of virus particles all over inanimate objects (chairs, tables). So, if you touch your eyes, mouth, or nose, and touch your fiance, and then he touches his eyes, nose, or mouth, he can contract the virus. For your own well being, it's best to rest during the flu period. You will recover quicker, and be able to enjoy his company more after the flu has passed. You also will minimize the possibility of him getting sick as well. Remember, both of you, wash your hands for atleast 90 seconds after touching eyes, nose, mouth! =)

No physical contact. Even a hand shake can pass the flu virus. Have him watch you play with yourself... thats about it.

Phone sex or cyber sex. The flu spreads through tiny drops of saliva when you breathe, speak, cough, etc, so any kind of physical intimacy is going to put you close enough to him to infect him. Like someone else said, you just need to rest right now, so you can get better faster. He is perfectly capable of fulfilling his needs temporarily.

Do him a favor. Don't have sex until you are over it. It's too easy to pass the flu with contact.
