Sexual dysfunction and lyme
I feel like this is something that doesn’t get addressed within traditional dialogue about healing, especially as a female. Most people speak about not having the energy for sex, or discourage it because it depletes your energy. Prior to this, my sexuality was an inherent part of me. In plain english, I enjoy sex and want it just as much if not more than my partners. However, recently my body has not been in the same place as my mind. I go through phases where it hurts to even touch my vulva, let alone have sex. I don’t know how to vocalize this to my partner, who would probably be more understanding than I give him credit for. The obvious answer is lube, but even that burns. So I have sex up until I can’t deal with the pain anymore and am left with the vague feeling of dissatisfaction.
I’ve recently given some thought to trying a topical CBD treatment since my pain seems to be externally focused rather than internal. I’m still unsure whether I want to start messing with my protocol on my own though.
