Your Total Guide to Chronic + Sex
From insecurities to therapeutic aids, here’s your one-stop source for intimacy info when you’re dealing with illness and disability.
If you’re amongthe 60% of people in this country who face some type of physical or cognitive disorder, getting busy with your partner presents a unique set of challenges. To gain insight and give voice to the chronic community on a topic that can be tough to talk about, HealthCentral conducted a survey on the subject.
We heard from hundreds of people who weighed in on sex: how they feel about it, whether they’re having it, if they have supportive partners, and what they’d like to tell the wider world about having physical relations while also managing discomfort, fatigue, mobility, and medication side effects (sometimes all at once). This collection of stories is based on the questions, concerns, and advice shared by the HealthCentral community.
