Another sex thread - sorry!

[AccioVodka]

I have just been reading a thread in AIBU regarding one side of the couple losing interest in sex, admittedly I didnt RTFT but I didnt want to derail.

But what about if a sexless relationship is down to illness? Its been 18m here with very sporadic intimacy (6m at the moment) and I am now struggling to cope with the emotional impications. I feel ashamed at my growing frustrations as it isnt DPs fault.

In short - WTF do I do?! I am already taking libido reduction suppliments

Have you discussed it at all with your partner?

OP - it’s not easy.
And - obviously you need to talk to him. Seems like either he isn’t aware of how you are feeling; or that both of you haven’t found other ways to get through this time.
Is it something that is expected to get better in time? Or is it a permanent situation?

If it’s a pemantent issue for him - then it’s tough. And at some point a choice would be needed.
You can’t live on libido suppression all your life. So - i’d guess people either break up or open up their relationahip.

Can I ask, what exactly are the medical issues that result in no intimacy? I don't mean what's the condition, but what are the hurdles? Erectile dysfunction? Low libido? Physical limitations?
