Some years later after diagnosis and fairly successful treatment I was back on the dating scene and I tried full disclosure early on. That did not go well. If someone has no investment in you, no appreciation of your special good qualities, why would they bother if they already have to lower their sexual expectations?
We're on the men's version of LS here and I can't tell by your name whether you're male, but I'm a 64 year-old woman.

Great question. I agree with Morrell. If you have the LS situation more or less under control, it's probably best to explain a sensitivity or fragility at first. If things progress and you feel your partner has real feelings for you, then you can be more detailed. Since it's an auto-immune thing and not contagious, I don't think you have a responsibility to give full disclosure up front.
I was diagnosed after being with my boyfriend for several months. At first, I assumed my problems were a result of menopause, and that's what I told him. Later, when I was diagnosed, I nervously told him the whole story, and he took it very well. We even went on line together to research it. I'm fairly certain if I'd hit him with it right off the bat, his reaction would not have been so understanding though.
We've since broken up, for other reasons, so I'm looking forward to hearing how other women have handled new relationships.

If as Morrell suggests you might be a male it also depends how LS affects you, normally the foreskin is affected so sore, perhaps a condom with added lube could be an answer, otherwise i am at a loss to give any help
when iI found out the cause of my issue and i told my sexual partner he said he wanted to help in any way he could and is very patient
Good luck
