I know that nobody likes to talk about this subject...BUT...has anyone else lost interest in sex? I mean how in the world are we supposed to want to do that when we are in pain? Just wondering! I think that this is a good topic to talk about. I mean it is just us! Wink Unsure

I've lost almost all interest in sex. Last few times I even tried, it was very painful. I'd say I've lost 99.99% of my interest in it. Maybe every once in a while, the thought crosses my mind, but not too often and it's quickly squelched. Thank goodness for me, hubby's about as uninterested as I am for whatever reason (maybe he's just empathetic?) and doesn't pester me for it.

I think that it is difficult to be interested in sex when we are in so much pain. It is almost like a whole production and that takes the fun and enjoyment out of it. Make sense? Wassat

I too lost all interest in sex but I say its because I got a hsyterectomy 9 yrs ago. Plus I am over 55 yrs old, so the hormones are no longer there. Plus I have sleep apnea, so I usually tired. No matter what time of day or night it is, I am tired plus have pain thru out my body most of the time. BUT i do think about it when I am alone, and then remember that I don't want any body bothering me.

Its not such a bad thing to not want sex. I can live without it but have to do it with my hubby every once in a while so hubby doesn't get mad at me.

Thats my story and I am sticking to it. LOL!!!

Sex has been absolutely painful since my accident. I enjoy being intimate, but forget having an orgasm!!! I cant get to that point. Hurts too much to tense up. My hubby is very caring and I'm lucky for that. He doesn't push me.
Be well in mind and spirit even though your body fights you daily with pain....love and light. Julz.
