I think this is probably one of the most difficult conversations any of us might have - and it's with someone we love and care deeply about, and who cares about us. And still, it's so difficult to start to try and explain to someone you love that you are afraid of urinary incontinence during sex. This article has a couple of good tips, and so I thought it was worth sharing with you. It might get you over the hump to get the conversation started. You want to stay close to the one you love, and keep those lines of communication open.

Thank you for posting this. The difficulty that many people find talking about this is perhaps reflected in the title of the article attached to your post: it is confined to sexual intercourse, omitting other forms of sexual activity such as masturbation.
