Sex, anyone?

Once your body starts to heal, your sex drive will come back.

When you are having bloody diarrhea and pain and having to use an enema every night... Who in the heck wants to have sex??? Plus.. the side effects of the all that medication. But, you are right- during the times that the flare lets up sex drive does increase.

What did you do to change your diet NBT?


btw I had to laugh at "twinkie" because I'd never heard it called that lol

oh and I'm not talking about when you're actually currently in the middle of a severe flare, because that's pretty understandable, if you're that sick sex just drops off the list of your body's needs so it can focus on trying to get well.

Reason I'm asking is we've tried a supplement called "testojack" (for men only) and all it seems to do is cause him migraines, which is counterproductive

i am female 36 and married, as said befor there is no way did i even have the energy to hold a full conversation  for months let alone have sex, i did crave more cuddles mind you,

good luck

Ha ha....twinkie LOL!

:)

My drive is the same now (at 35) as it was at 18. I am good to go day or night, flare or not, in fact even when i couldn't get out of bed on my own after my surgery last year I was still wanting it. If my wife was willing, (we've been together 17 years, shes used to my "energetic" nature) 3 times a day, every day would suit me just fine. ;)

Male 40 years.
I have a well above average drive. Always have and looks like I always will.
No meds effected it. But when I was single and flaring bad for many years I would
avoid all dating and intimate contact. Instead I would self satisfy.

Male, 33.....and I'll never eat another twinkie again...

lol...all of these responses have me dying of laughter...haha!!!

icepixycicle...I was nearly always too tired for bednastics, sometimes I wasn't drinking enough water and was slightly dehydrated, which caused my blood pressure to be very low at times. At other times, it was just plain old UC causing extreme fatigue...I was a mess...barely even able to get out of bed.

For me, I discovered that certain foods made my symptoms worse...so now I avoid them like the plague and I have more energy now...that's it. Of course I still have UC, but at least it's symptoms are way less severe now and I can handle it...I just don't like not being able to eat my favourite foods...at least for now anyway.

NBT

I have crohns and typically just don't have the desire to initiate but have fun when I do participate if that makes sense. However, like the above poster, Entocort made me ready to go and looking 24/7. My lucky husband. Now my drive is definatly way lower, I can take it or leave it. But with a little work on his part I usually decide to take it.

That's cause disco ducks are just plain crazy.

disco said...
hasn't effected me at all

For me the thought of having a possible rectal preforation into my vagina scares the heck out of me and ruins any mood I could try to force upon myself. Add that to flaring up, a burning butt, taking care of 2 young boys, and everything else, and you have one sad husband in his 20's...poor twinkie, lol.
