I just recently had 2 beautiful baby boys and was wondering when it was safe to start having sex after my c-section..

Congratulations!! When were they born?! How big were they?! When do we get to see pics?! Sorry, I've just never known anyone with twin boys!

"Safe" just means when the risk for infection drops. Whether you had them naturally or by c-section, the designated time line is 6wks. Always ask your doctor first, but I (meaning MY opinion, aka NOT a doctors, lol) would say it's safe after you quit bleeding.

Personally, I did it 5wks afterward (I had quit bleeding and needed to relieve some stress, lol) and I was on my back and didn't move much because I knew it would hurt too badly. Just a little tip when you do decide to do it, don't move too much, you just did A LOT of work carrying and delivering babies, it's time for him to do some work, lol.
