FACT FILE- Sexual Problems
If you have severe athritic disease of the hips, knees or back, you will probably have problems with your love life. Sex is often painful and, as a consequence, people find that it is easier to forget about this side of the relationship altogetherIf a woman isn't able to stretch her legs or turn her hips, sexual intercourse in a traditional positions can become well- nigh impossible.Feelings of failing one's partner, combined with the pain and awkwardness, can cause a diminished self- image and further reduce sexual desire.Here comes the funny part!!!
However, new positions can be found which makes it possible for both partners to gain sexual satisfaction.Experiment with foreplay and caressing to achieve sexual pleasure . There is more to good sex than penetration.Ask your doctor for advice. But the most important thing is to enlist the sympathy and understanding of your partner and to both to learn to adapt your love- making to avoid pain.If you have no partner, sexual frustration combined with anger at your physical deterioration may create enormous tension. This can physically be released by masturbation. This is a matter of personal preferance.Adapted from:-
