Sex……question for the ladies.

Do any other ladies have any troubles “getting there” during sex? It’s so messed up, like my vagina had died?! The drive is there but it’s damn near impossible to get off anymore. Even by myself. I’ve had MS now for 14 years and I’m 40 years old.

Adult Subject - After Sex Issue

I have issues at night sometimes I get spasticity in my arms and legs. After I've had sex it's pretty much a guarantee, as it's warmer at the moment we've got a fan in the bedroom but even with that blasting on me (which can help on normal nights) I still get them. Anyone get the same? Any tips to t...

Sex makes symptoms worse?

Hi guys, I find that sex - well, I'm single so solo sex ;) - makes a lot of my symptoms feel much worse (walking, balance). Is this just me. Combined with a drop in sex drive, I basically can't even be bothered. Is this just me?

In the Netherlands and Denmark, people with disabilities are facilitated with access to sex workers. https://www.independent.co.uk/…/germany-sexual-assistance-p… So I got to thinking to myself there: if women can choose pregnancy or MS, which do they opt for? Both are a fairly major deal As for men,...

Sex issues?
