Re: INFO: Health Tip: Having Sex Despite Illness

[Guest guest]

I think it is very helpful.... and humorous at the same time! Here are my

replies to their suggestions!

a. If I could plan for those times, sex is the last thing I would want to be

doing. Take me to the movies, a museum, or somewhere fun! LOL

b. Can I sleep through it?

c. I wonder why this is... I'm being serious on this one. Maybe fatigue factor?

d. If I take my pain meds a half hour beforehand, I WILL be asleep! LOL

e. This is the only one I can fully comply with as I do neither! hee hee

[ ] INFO: Health Tip: Having Sex Despite Illness

I wasn't sure how appropriate this was for the group but it does deal with

chronic illnesses so I figure it might be a help to those who are having issues

sexually. I found this on discoveryhealth.com the website is posted at the

bottom of the page.

Health Tip: Having Sex Despite Illness

on 12/10/2008

(HealthDay News) -- People who have a chronic illness -- which may include

heart disease, diabetes or asthma -- may have ongoing pain or fatigue that can

hinder a healthy sex life.

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers suggestions for how to enjoy

sex, despite having a chronic illness:

a.. Figure out what time of day you feel healthiest and most energized, and

plan sex around those times.

b.. Try to get plenty of rest, and make yourself feel as relaxed as possible.

c.. Don't have sex within two hours of eating.

d.. If you take pain medicine, take it at least 30 minutes before having sex.

e.. Drink only limited amounts of alcohol, and don't use tobacco. Both can

affect sexual performance.
