Hi everyone

Just looking for views on this. Ive been with my partner for 5months now and we had been using condoms. But we decided to not use them anymore.

Has anyone found sex with or without condoms makes LS worse?

I currently have a few white patches which Im treating, although they are being stubborn! So ive gone back to clob two times a day with diprobase after each loo visit.

Thanks.

    Hi Liz

    Thanks its been a long road to feel ok to have sex again and a lot of sexual thearpy too. I am lucky in the respect my new partner is on the average size ( my ex was large and Id tear a lot) and I am still currently stretchy.

    I do have white patches which I am trying to deal with though.

    I thought perhaps condoms had annoyed them more.

      Hi Liz

      Ive got an IUS so again I was ok to have that with my LS. we have had sex once without condoms.

      Yes I was put forward for sexual thearpy due to the negative effect sex had on me and my sub cons would freak out about it and id tighten up.

      Since then ive felt a lot better I have also started to use kegal balls as a stretching exercise.

      oh do tell more! are these kegel balls available on the internet?

      are you otherwise sore or ok now? i'm approaching menopause i think and undecided about whether or not to engage in sex, but don't have a partner but am looking although am anxious about the prospect!

      may i ask how old you are?

      thanks so much! really helpful. i'll have a look. great that its a women only store (on-line?), talking of which, did you listen to the porn debate on international women's day on radio 4?

      what does the 's' stand for in your shorthand for the coil?

      so the white patches need attention, got any ideas? maybe others will come in with feedback and suggestions?

      ok so you're young and active, so glad you seem to be getting a handle on this. i don't want to give up either even post menopause, if that's where i'm headed. periods not yet ceased but becoing less frequent.

      great talking to you. i'm new here, is me talking in lower case ok with you? so much more relaxing, but lazy i know, hope ok with all though!

      I found my husbands semen did so too, I put it down to his love of chillis! I have no problem with a subsequent partner but I do have to coat myself with a cream to help keep the area supple and protected. I conceived witht he coil as I had a bifurcated uterus and I conceived on the other side!!!
