Physical Health Challenges

I haven't experienced these health challenges myself, but have had family experience sexual difficulties after a cancer diagnosis or a major injury.

With the cancer, there is a fear. The spouse goes from sexual lover to caretaker. The one with cancer is often sick, they lose their hair, maybe even lose their breast. It makes it difficult to feel sexual or desirable.

My mom broke both her legs. It was pretty severe. She had to have surgery and was in a wheelchair for a long time. This of course made lovemaking difficult since she couldn't move well or put any pressure on them.
