Greetings and salutations to all:
I am about to start tx - Pegasys and Ribaviron. Will sex become a memory and
future thing during treatment. It sounds like, from reading your posts, that
getting one's self up and out of bed is all the getting up that can be
accomplished. Seems as though the energy and desire will succumb to the
drugs.
Can anyone shed light on this?

Intercourse? It shouldn't be a problem! Actually one of the side effects
of treatment for some of us was/is hypersexuality. Like you were a
youngster all over again. Not much to look at, what with rang tang hair and
scaley patches of skin, but the meat still moves. :) use lots of lube

After you get into the treatment, sex won't matter cause you probably won't
give a sh.t anyway. I had sex a couple of times on treatment, I was the 30
second wonder and that was enough to get me wheesing and huffing! haha...

Why the hell not! Man anything is possible in my life. Better yet I'll drive
and you can ride along!
Since i decided to hang around for a while I went and bought an ATV, Yamaha
"Grizzly" 700 4x4. What a blast....
Still thinking about driving south for a couple of months, but I haven't
decided when.

Hi Russ,
Well, Alaskan Air to Vancouver, then get on Amtrak there for Los Angeles
out of Seattle. Rent a car in Palm Springs. All in all a lot more relaxing
than driving the whole way. I have always wanted to see the Pacific coast
from that train, it is supposed to be quite something, the best ride they
got. You ever go anywhere by passenger train? Think: small room to sleep
in, pretty good food, interesting folks and desperados on the train. anyway
be careful with that ATV, they can fug you up big time. watch those tender
fingers! you ready to try herbals? my fingers don't hurt anymore, no more
brain fog.

I still managed to toss one in to my old lady once every week or two.
But now that I am 9 months in to treatment the stamina isn't there.
I had the hypersexuality thing at first and now I have toned down a
bit.
I think if you can throw a good bang before the treatment you should
be able to
during. But if you take antidepressants for the sides, forget it, your
willy will not
be good for anything except urinating. Assuming you are a male :-)

Women definitely have the advantage in this aspect of tx. I wonder if maybe
that's why women have slightly higher odds of clearing then men???

All I can tell you is of my own experience.
I'm sure it has been at least a year since my husband & I have had sex.
He has just finished his 12th shot. So as you can tell sex wasn't very
often even before tx started. Not to say that I don't miss sex because
I do. But we aren't kids any more & it's not as important as it once
was. I am grateful that he was diagnosed & that by the grace of God we
will have a few more years together. It's funny how things that one
thought were important really don't mean that much as time goes by. But
if you feel good enough to enjoy sex then by all means go for it!!
Blessings to you...Deb
