I always wondered when do you tell someone you're interested in about having an illness if it's not visible this article was the best answer I have seen so far.

Tell them the truth! If they truly care and are interested, then take it from there. If you don't hear from them afterwards, then u will know that it's going nowhere! Speaking from experience here! U need to make sure they care about you and are willing to support you, regardless of your illness!!

It should be 2nd date conversation, assuming that you are not naked on the first date, and need to explain any difficulties (erectile problems) Openness, honesty, openness.

I hope the people took time to know each other before getting naked

This is an article that people really should read. I can see that it was posted a year ago. But this is a subject that I deal with all of the time. I agree, the sooner that you have the discussion the better. It's been such a challenge. People have cried and then I never hear from them again and long story short it has been a challenge. Still waiting for that amazing guy who will accept me for me. Great Article. Thank you!
