Sex is not the priority for us that it once was. We both function fine. We talk about making it more of a priority, then don’t. He usually goes to bed an hour or two before me, and there are typically two dogs between us. While I believe more frequent sex would be great, we have a solid loving relationship and I see no reason to unnecessarily turn it into a problem. I don’t believe any of this is HIV related.

Lost? No. Maybe a bit diminished. But still raring to go at a moments notice. 😅😆😁

@A myHIVteam Member - So many things can affect sex drive... medications, general health, depression, relationship changes, HIV infection, etc. I have been affected by all of these at one time or another. I know that under the right circumstances my sex drive will rise to the occasion. Spontaneous arousal becomes more difficult with age and circumstances.

@A myHIVteam Member. As you get older, spontaneous erection not so much. But, if you meet a guy that you find appealing, I think you'll find that your body doesn't let you down. Remember that there are plenty of groovy options regardless of a fickle erection. Manual stimulation can lead to some rockin' orgasms, and you don't have to be young to give them or receive them. Don't fear intimacy. Enjoy it. 🤠

To a certain degree. But not sure if it’s my meds or if it’s mental. But I’m definitely having a hard time getting and keeping it up.
