Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and will be answered by me.
This type of rib pain right side without any other symptoms is likely to be due to muscular (myalgia or muscle spasm) or musculo-skeletal origin which in turn could be related to sex position.
I will keep this possibility first and will advise you to continue using pain reliever medications like advil (ibuprofen 400 mg) three times daily with muscle relaxant like mebeverine 200 mg for symptomatic relief.
Avoid heavy weight lifting and do hot fomentation frequently in a day.
Also you have already ruled out any rib injury or internal injury by CT scan which was normal as you said.
If pain does not subside even after 2 to 3 days of symptomatic treatment then it should be further evaluated by clinical examination by the doctor.
Consult your family doctor in case pain persists.
Regards,
