Mating-Pg :) -Arousal

More questions!

[Batik]

There's euphemistic, and then there's "mating fluid patterns". This is a forum for adults, right? Maybe we could be a smidgen more direct? Incidentally, can people see what you've answered?

Vulvodynia seems to be relatively common around here, but I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing you're looking at here.

[Altruism]

I need a dictionary to answer these LOL

It's just worded differently but here is what she's asking:

1. has your sex drive increased or decreased

2. have you had vaginal dryness

3. has your ability to orgasm increased or decreased

I can't really vote on this, because I get really bad symptoms when I try to enjoy this activity! I have been told by some others that this can happen, I have the hyper kind.

I am only posting this, in case, there are others out there like this too.

Sexual difficulties for me are due to being a breath holder and valsalva is a problem for me....carrying groceries, singing. I had to learn to breath thru which is distracting. Moving my blood flow away from my brain makes me symptomatic. Would rather be Potsy having sex than laundry - I gave up laundry.

I'm past menopause, so this is difficult to say, but I answered, anyway..."reaching the peak", if ever, is way different, not as satisfying, and I used to be a very sexual being. All the medication I'm on doesn't help either. Beta blockers are a real culprit. I'm actually on Wellbutrin to help with this after trying a topical agent vasodilator from a compounding pharmacy, actually. I'll let you know more after I'm on it awhile. It's only been about three weeks...

This is not necessarily an adult forum. Thanks misstraci for clarifying. Also, the reason i ask is due to the vagus nerve's innervation of arousal. http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/human-biology/brain-during-orgasm1.htm

Who has enough blood pressure for sex? Just being around my girlfriend often gets me interested and dizziness sometimes follows, even without physical contact or even us trying to be sexual. Kissing gets me terribly dizzy, so I often have to sit down afterwards.

I'm not sure what's going to happen wedding night, but I have a feeling I'll probably be passing out a lot and we'll both be laughing about it.

Thanks Lemons...that was very interesting. The Wellbutrin is helping, btw I'm not on an SSRI...

I know I'm failing miserably and even faked many times mainly through frustration. I admit it! Use of aids has helped as I read that you should keep your naughty bits stimulated or the nerve endings can die-off/become numb. I believe this is true. I also notice that after the act I feel AWFUL...really ill. Much better without the 'O', to be honest.

I have the hyper kind and being intimate makes symptoms so much worse if I am flared. When I am not flared, it doesn't seem to affect the questions asked.

I feel very bad for my boyfriend since this all started. I used to be one of those always in the mood people, even if I wasn't feeling great. But since I got sick, just no. No on the mood front, and very no on the stamina front.
