My love for my spouse is not tied to his dick so I wouldn't leave him just because he couldn't physically have sex Wouldn't you still want your sexual needs to be met, though? I feel as though someone in that situation would eventually be tempted to cheat since they aren't getting those needs met. Link to post Share on other sites
DarrenB Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Some people just don't have a specific libido, if any at all. Even if they did, there's other ways to please your partner without actually having to have intercourse. If you seek more then by all means feel obligated to leave a relationship where your desires are not able to be met, but personally I wouldn't see it as a problem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Uh, you know that Lyme disease is treatable in most cases, right? Also, if you did get severe, untreatable Lyme disease, sex would be the least of your concerns. Are you perhaps thinking of a different disease? 5 Link to post Share on other sites

central Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My wife had Lyme disease for 8 years. It had no effect on our awesome sex life. The disease may affect some people differently, though, and make sex painful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Newcitygirl Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I was diagnosed at an early stage so thankfully do not have it anymore. So it depends on when the partner was diagnosed. Talk to your partner. As always, use safe sex. Link to post Share on other sites

Gloria25 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Uh, there are many ways to have "sex" (oral, manual) that don't necessarily involve penetration itself. Have you all exhausted all medical options? Have you guys tried seeing a sex therapist? Link to post Share on other sites
elaine567 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think it is one of those diseases that the more research is done the more we find out about it. We do not seem to have got to the bottom of it yet. BUT it is extra-ordinarily common, more common than would be expected if it is purely tick borne, so they are looking around for other answers. . One of those answers postulated is that it is sexually transmitted. No-one really knows yet, we will just have to keep watching this space. The reason the op of the other thread was not having sex was the fact his wife was ill, ie pretty seriously ill and is still not well. Chronic Lyme disease is an observed entity and like a lot of other things in Lyme disease the long term problems are not readily explained either, though immune overactivity is postulated..

I feel bad for saying that, but that's how I feel... Would you leave if your partner had an accident? Had cancer? As long as you know that someday someone could leave you for the same reasons, accept that's how they feel too. Link to post Share on other sites

mikeylo Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 No one is free from any health issue. It depends on how committed you are and for are you willing to go.

I would be super hurt and angry, but I wouldn't blame them... Link to post Share on other sites
