Uc medications don't have sexual side effects, but antidepressants (antidepressants are notorious for that) or other medications you take might.
When I was sick badly during a uc flare I had absolutely zero sexual interest (and I'm a guy lol). My DW had to practically beg me for certain things. When you're sore and feel awful, sex is the absolute last thing on your mind.
If you're not flaring, then uc doesn't affect us in a physical way there, but most certainly uc does affect us on a mental/emotional level which can have the exact same result. Uc is far from a sexy disease, it's a totally gross disease involving bms, pain, urgency, and accidents. Uc causes anxiety and affects our self-image, creates body image, self-esteem and depression issues. If your not confident and comfortable (have abdominal discomfort), and instead worry or are anxious about what your partner thinks then you're not going to have a good time.
