Arthritis Needn't End Sex Life

Arthritis doesn't have to be the end of your sex life. Frank guidelines about Arthritis and Sexuality offer practical tips for improving sex among those who suffer from chronic pain.

Separating the limitations of pain from sexual self-confidence is critical to having a realistic approach to the changes brought about by arthritis. Talking to your partner about these changes will aid intimacy and lead you toward options that will work for both of you.

Timing sexual activity for when pain relievers kick in or taking a hot shower to soothe joints and muscles beforehand will help get you started. Certain positions can take the pressure off painful joints and spice up the experience as well.

And endorphins released during sex will provide a natural painkiller for hours afterward.
