How do ms effect a man sex life?

Answer 1

Before I answer this, remember that you can talk yourself into impotence! If you expect problems with your sex life and start watching for them, you can actually create the problems.

MS (multiple sclerosis) attacks the body's nervous system. There's no way of predicting exactly what nerves will be affected. For example, some people lose control of their lower limbs, some people experience numbness in various areas of the body. The most common effect is sudden, extreme fatigue that can make sex exhausting.

Unfortunately, loss of erotic response can also be a side effect of some of the drugs used to control the symptoms of MS.

The National MS Society has some literature about sex and MS. Please don't be afraid to talk about this with a medical professional and your partner. If MS (or anything else) has affected your sex life, talking to your partner is a good first step: you share the problem, and you have to work together to find solutions.
