Can anyone give me some advice I have had copd for several years but I know it is impacting on my 38 year marriage as when it comes to sex

[angling]

I lose my breath and have to stop this has made me feel inadequate and now I am scared to try. I have spoke about it with my wife but she feels as though I don't even try.

this is worrying me more and that makes me feel even worse

Hi Angling

I will be as blunt as I can without being crude, Put three straws in her mouth, tell her she can only breathe through the straws. Then put her on top. After two minutes tell her that is exactly how you feel but unfortunately you can't take straws out of your mouth to get your breath back. It will perhaps bring it home to her what we go through.

Best wishes my friend from a fellow sufferer.

Hi,,Don't worry being breathless is a bugger I know,,but can be got around..Different positions can make breathing less of a struggle,try on your side from behind,for one example..TAKE your time,,its not a race,,Viagra can be a great help if req,, Also if your partner takes a more active role that will help..BEST OF LUCK..

Well! I think I would go along with raptor on this one, get your lady to do all the work while you lie back and enjoy! sometimes we just can't please other people all the time, please don't feel bad, a cuddle can be very satisfying too!wishing you well,huff xxxx
