Poll: How sensitive are your symptoms to sex?
My pelvic pain symptoms get worse after any amount of sexual arousal, even if it's just looking at a racy picture for 10 seconds. Curious if anyone else is this sensitive.
Started: Spring 2003; high urinary frequency and pain associated with bladder filling; urinary hesitancy; pubic/prostate/perineal discomfort; Helped by: trigger point therapy, Afrin nasal spray, Cymbalta, hydrocodone (small doses), distraction. Makes worse: sex.

Same for me. I pretty much live the celibate life except for really good periods. Surprisingly enough, I am not having that tough of a time dealing with it. :)

Me. And if I don't have an orgasm soon? Trouble. So I limit my exposure to arousing stimuli. There's no way I can date like this -- I can't make out with anyone without knowing something's going to happen in the next twenty minutes -- and it makes me incredibly lonely. Sometimes I go to strip clubs and get lap dances, which is something I'd have never done before all this madness. At least regularly.kevin wrote:My pelvic pain symptoms get worse after any amount of sexual arousal, even if it's just looking at a racy picture for 10 seconds.
