| There are subsitutes for normal sex Aug. 15,2007 | |
Oct 16,2006 Really if you are handsome or beautiful ,depending on your gender, you really will still attract the opposite sex regardlees if you in a wheelchair wearing braces and using crutches.June 25,2008 I'm discovering this fact regularly. RET UPdate; Sept.5,2000----- A friend of mine age 35 with severe MS had to give up sex and break an engagement.He really was very sad about the whole situation. The media pumps up sex in all the movies,tv shows and advertizments. Actually there are more disabled not particapating in traditional sex that most people realize.It's no shame to have nerve problems . I have had such now for a long time and it gets worse with progression. I try not to let SPMS bother me . I still enjoy life, but a different sort than shown on the media.The way I dress I consider sexy. I think sex but can't produce the erection. I enjoy the jokes,I can talk a good sex with a woman.All of them that know me know I can't get it up and they know MS will never go away. Women feel safe with me and we can be more our selves with out worry of where it can lead.After being erectionless for several years It doesn't bother me any more. It doesn't bother my wife any more either. We kiss, hug,and do other things.But she also is medicated for heart problems and doesn't have a sex drive either. There is in the disabled world perfect partners. We can enjoy al lot of other things not yet discovered by the sexed world. I can enjoy the company of many women because of the condition I'm in because of my neurological problems. My wife doesn't worry about me going too far with them, because I can't.I'm safe.And oddly a whole new world of excitement and friendship opens up to some of us. The male erection problem is hindered by the drugs you take. Such as baclofen,clonazpan, and other nerve relaxers. Aside from the penis pump which the wife laughts at the idea,what's a fellow to do? I stop taking the pills that relax and put up with the spaciticity.Take time to play a bit . There are drugs out to enhance your chances. See your urologist for a prescription. Personally I prefer to limit the drugs I take.Saw Palmetto capsules are good. They help me. Many now take Viagra. Playing about a bit helps to prepair the mind. Actually that is where it starts. There is a physical disabilities board on AOL that is listed as "Sex is 99% mental" I agree the motto is correct. For some it take cuddling and play to boast them up mentally. Dr. Nancy Holland in the March 1998 issue of "Real Living with MS", states that sexual dysfunction in males with ms can start very early in the disease. Further she says that fatigue can be one of the main problems. I have found this to be true. I'm best for the game after a little rest. Dr Holland thinks that couples get a feeling of emotional isolation from each other as MS starts to progress. THis is why divorce is all too common in marrages where one of the partners has MS.It is considerablely higher than the general population. For a man with MS, doubts of his masculinity start to creep into his head if he is dysfunctional.This will further complicate the complete sexual act. Remember that mS is mainly the disease of younger adults. There are "vascular clinics' that you can get treated for impotency. Or you can get back to the pump. Frequently the bladder and bowel control can mentally put a damper on sex both male and female. But in the end we must conclude that the longer a man waits to get treatment ,the more than likely there will be damage of a perminent nature to the inactive blood vessels that creats the erection and keeps it sustained through the compleation of the whole sexual act. THe blood flow to the penis can be checked by the doppler ultrasound method. the arteries maybe blocked or nearly so. This can be treated. but with MS it is usually a neurological damage problem. If the male is a smoker or heavy drinker he should consider quiting as these vices will add to the dysfunctional problem. Currently there are several pills that your doctor can prescribe. They are Sildenafin,phentolamine, a close relative to morphine but with out the addictive chances. There are several drugs that are under study that are due to come out soon. " Only when we grow weary enogh of our present situation are we likely to seek and risk change" from Maxie Dunnan's book, " Let Me Say It Again" |
If you become like myself where the plaques are concentrated in the lower part of of my spine,it has made me into almost a non walker.No special meds will raise me up any more. Cuddling and kissing and massague has taken its place. I still seem to remain attractive for my age and easily get female attention. Remember social flurting is actually more important to some than actual intercourse.Its social intercourse that may really desire. Aug 15,2007 |
| Might as well just forget sex in the usual matter,, BUT ..... | |
| Once the disease is well under way and all other parts of your body are deficent so will your sex drive and your ability to have sex in the usual meaning of the word.You will see it go out the door of your life very slowly but with us with PPMS it is out and never comes back .So have your fanicy thinking of how it might be . Its no wonder we have serious depression as we have had so much taken away from us by the time the disease has stolen so many things and abilities and pleasures .By the time we reach the 20 years of PPMS, all seems dead. But even of our physical sex is gone we still can show love for many people. We can outwardly wear clothing demonstrating our sex and give it a twist that is possible with outward appearances. Our attitudes are all sexual in nature,so is our skin and voice and our general looks. Richard June 25,2008 revised; |
