I still have the drive but the confidence is what is shaky - ms has created "issues" and the bladder sure better be empty for one.

Totally, but since i've been on wellbutrin it seems to be comming back! Unfortunatly a little to long for my now EX husband. There are always new ways to "spice" up your life in that area.

My libido hasn't been affected, but positioning can sometimes be difficult due to spasticity, and in areas I've had a loss of sensation.

I think playful exploration with your partner is key. I know when I first had issues, my confidence plummeted, even though I still desired sex. I felt like I couldn't trust my body anymore. That was more of a hurdle than the physical challenges, given that arousal starts in the brain!

Also go to page 12 of this discussion board for PREVIOUS discussion on "sexual dysfunction" where members chimed in.
Doug (one of the founders) should review with us how to search previous discussions because this community has so many good previous posts we could go back to

I went through a period when I had no drive. I think it was about a year after I was DXd..then it evened out. But...now? I feel like I am constantly in heat. LOL I think it might be my age. I'm going to be 36 next month..sexual peak and all that. Whatever..I'm enjoying it. -Jen
