Sex and Stroke.

Well, there's a shock headline for you :)

But seriously, it's a difficult subject to tackle - and I've been married for over 20 years, a little more of than half of them stroked. But it's an important part of life, whether you're in a relationship or not. If that makes any sense. Yeah, I'm aware that people have personal, moral, and religious, views about discussing the subject, but I've no intention of provoking a discussion, just putting a personal view. I've no wish to offend anyone.

And being an important part of a relationship, there's some things I'd like to say. So it's over to you.

Can I share my experience? Carefully, of course.

-------------------

After a few hours reflection, and to be honest, a few draft posts I wasn't at all happy with, I've decided to wait a little while and put it in my 'to-do' book. I think I should cover it at some point though, because, though a leaflet should be available from the British Stroke Association, (see my links sidebar) it's always out of print.

I'd rather cover it properly, than jot random thoughts , as I've found it's such a hidden, but a very important but difficult topic for stroke affected couples.

Hi Wheelie,
Sex is natural! Nuff said. Stroke's are caused by natural malfunctions! Nuff said.
No offense taken here with me, share
the things you would like to say! Please!

haven't been here long, but we expect nothing but honesty from you. Difficulties with sex following stroke are common. . .not that that makes it easier. . .

Thanks peeps, and lots of love.

Don't care that that you guys haven't
been here long, as long as you are. Much appreciated, truly. Off to post...
