Hello and welcome.

Retrolisthesis is indeed a condition that results in various limitations. Sexual intercourse is a physically challenging process that requires flexibility, adequate mobility, strength and stamina. Some sexual positions may be challenging, so find the one that you are most comfortable with and you can continue to have sexual intercourse.

As for other activities, everything that tou are comfortable with can be performed. Things like lifting, bending several times, swift neck movements, carrying bags on your shoulders, etc; should all be avoided.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
