Let's Talk About Sex

By Christina Lasich, MD, Health Pro Monday, December 15, 2008

 

Teamwork is worth it because sex fulfills a basic need for pleasure and touch. These benefits are not impossible to obtain even with chronic pain lurking in the bedroom like a lion. Many relationship predators exist and most threatening of those is a lack of communication. Frequently, communication gets lost in pain. A dialogue can begin by casting away the shyness and embracing the caring necessary to discuss even the most private subject--sex. Decide to talk about sex.

 

For more information about this subject, I ask you to read a book called Sex and Back Pain by Lauren Andrew Hebert, PT. If you decide to share a personal experience about sex and chronic pain, please write a comment. Sharing creates solutions!
