Speaking to Your Partner

 

You may feel ashamed, embarrassed or even afraid to bring up the topic of sexual health with your partner or doctor. If you feel this way, you are not alone!

​

Remember that these types of issues affect many people at some stage in their life. It can also have a profound effect on your partner. It is important to remember you are in a partnership so what ever is troubling you will affect your partner. This is why open, positive communication is important.

 

Like many of us, it can cause you to distance yourself from your partner and as a result, your partner may get the mistaken impression that you have either lost interest, or that you are no longer attracted to them.

​

For this reason, it is critical for both of you to remember that the majority of cases are associated with a physical condition. Both of you need to know that that this is not necessarily from any reduction in your affection or desire for sex, but from a medical condition.

Ask Your Partner For Support

​

Ask your partner for support.  If possible, sit down with your partner and talk about the ways your issue may have impacted your relationship. Some couples have very open communication around sex and it’s an easy topic, but we know many do not. It is important to start with open, non critical calm communication and to know you won't and do not have to achieve everything in one day. Communication is an opportunity to share your feelings and let your partner know that you would like to make things better.

​

Since this affects both of you, it might be a good idea for your partner to be with you to be with you when you order online from one of our approved providers – something we try to encourage. That way, you will both get a clear idea of the condition and the supplement options that are available for you. 

 

Together, you can talk them over and choose the course of action that’s best for both you and your relationship.
