Talk with your partner about how both of you need to cope with the changes in your body, then you can work on accepting them together. Recognize that your partner probably loves things about you other than just your body. Perhaps they admire you for your friendliness and personality, your humor, your kindness and generosity, thoughtfulness, your loving devotion, intelligence, or good se nse. There are no doubt many attributes that make you very special to them. Remember that sexuality is more a matter of attitude and of self-esteem than of size and shape of body parts.
Muscle weakness can cause difficulty in performing the sex act.
The researcher found that some myasthenics had difficulty during love-making with breathing, supporting themselves or moving. However, there may be prolonged periods of severe weakness, when a couple may choose not to attempt intercourse. On these occasions, the couple may elect other ways of giving pleasure to each other such as holding, hugging or touching. It may be helpful to plan sex for the time of day when you are most rested and relaxed. Many myasthenics feel strongest in the morning.
