Yes I find a little problem with erections at the moment in the it seems fine for awhile but other times. You have to do a lot to get hard and it wasn’t always this way

I have no libido it disappeared over 10 years ago and I feel so defunct as I want to share sexual relations with my partner but I'm so ashamed that nothing happens. I've had osteoarthritis for 18 years and it's not going to get any easier. I hate it tbh

Hello everyone,
How do you feel today?
This topic may feel delicate to discuss, but it’s an important one to address. 💙
When living with chronic illnesses, it’s common to experience a loss of sexual desire. Fatigue, physical symptoms, and the side effects of certain treatments can all play a role, leaving many feeling disconnected from their partner or themselves. This can sometimes lead to frustration, guilt, or even tension in relationships.
Have you experienced a loss of libido or sexual desire as a result of your illness or its treatments? How do you navigate this, and have you discussed it with your partner or loved ones?
