Re: Sexual Performance and Sensation

[Guest guest]

Mark: Boy do I understand your frustration. I wasn't

diagnosed with CMT until recently, so, wondered why I had loss

of sensation in the vaginal area. I was also having a problem

with incontience, said something to my gynecologist and was

set up with a group that trained me in rediscovering those

muscles and how to use them better. This I have found has also

helped to an extent with sexual issues. Thank you for sharing

and a belated welcome to the group.

Sharon, thank you for your empathy, understanding and input.

I've likened the diminished sense of sexual feeling to this:

eating one of your favorite meals -- which you just KNOW

tastes really good -- a few hours after you've burned your

tongue. It doesn't hurt, and your brain knows this is

supposed to feel good, and it sort of does, but yet it's

missing much of it's (good) intensity. Or, to put it more

basically, it's like having sex with about 8 condoms on. I

have noticed a very slight issue with incontinence as well

for many years, though with care it really isn't a problem.

Glad to hear you have had some success with the training you

spoke of.

Mark
