Sex and Cancer: Intimacy, Romance, and Love after Diagnosis and Treatment
Description Reduce Stress to Boost Intimacy If you’re being treated for cancer, you have more stress than usual in your life. Your partner is probably experiencing stress as well as you both might have fear of the disease, missed work, concerns over appearance, and financial strains. This stress can derail the intimacy between the two of you. You are experiencing some of the key signs of 'fight- or-flight'- so you’re more ready for battle or running away than you are for lovemaking. Make it a priority to reduce that stress before you try to reconnect with your partner. Some Physical Ways to Boost Intimacy There are both medical and nonmedical approaches to sexual health- and it’s not as though the information is irrelevant for a non-cancer population. Keep in mind that a lot of our human sexual response is geared on muscle contractions and relaxation. With that mind, things to explore are -Toning the pelvic floor muscles. -Knowing how to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. -Practicing range-of-motion, especially after breast cancer surgery. -Using a generous amount of lubricating jelly during sex. Post-Cancer DOs and Don’t’s - A Couple of Post-Cancer Intimacy Dos and Don’ts Do's -Do learn what impact treatments will likely make on your stamina, appearance, and mental state. -Do examine and explore your own body. You need to know what feels good and when it feels best. Communicate what you learn to your partner. Don'ts -Don’t feel as though a loss of self-esteem or energy defines your future with your partner. -Don’t leave everything up to your partner. It doesn’t matter if your partner is male or female-this is your body, and your body is unique.
