I’ve got type-1 diabetes and have heard I might have sexual problems as I get older. Can I prevent it?
Unfortunately, diabetes can affect both your sex drive and performance. Impotence, or erectile dysfunction, may occur as a result of nerve or vascular damage associated with diabetes. Also, the stress and depression that often go along with diabetes can have an impact on libido and sexual performance. Looking after youself, controlling your blood sugar levels and leading a healthy life can delay complications associated with diabetes. Talk to your doc about your worries. Together you can come up with a solution if problems do occur.
My girlfriend isn’t keen on oral – giving or receiving. How can I get her to talk about it?
This isn’t gender specific – both men and women can find the idea of oral sex awkward. Talk to her about her reasons for not wanting to be intimate orally. Don’t try to talk her into it, but instead understand where she’s coming from. Then you can both explore the possibility of her feeling more comfortable and, perhaps, discuss other sexual practices. Make a list of maybes, definites and taboos and see where you can find common ground about what you’re both into.
What is the best lube to use?
It is really essential for good health and hygiene to use only lubricants that have been specifically designed for that application. Remember, whatever you use externally will end up internally as well. Using the wrong products, like face or body creams, baby oils, petroleum jellies and so on can cause serious infection. It’s best to use water-based lubrication as it works well with condoms. Astroglide, KY Jelly and all other water-based lubes enhance sexual pleasure and help women with vaginal dryness that can lead to sexual discomfort.
