Question
SexWithSophie.com member Emily asks: How do you navigate sex when you're chronically ill with a condition that greatly limits your energy and recovery?
The Short Answer
The video gives tips and tricks for anyone suffering from a chronic illness, but here is some of the most helpful advice if you suffer from low energy and prolonged recovery like Emily:
• Communicate your anxieties with your partner
• Incorporate more intimacy without expectation
• Strengthen your pelvic floor
• Track your symptoms and emotions
• Schedule it, which sounds unsexy, but can be fun
• Plan to take meds, soak in a warm bath, and prep beforehand
• Save your energy by delegating as much as possible
• Find a knowledgeable LMFT, sx therapist, or sxologist
