Discussion: We are 60 plus years old. My husband has a chronic alcoholic liver disease for many years. We do not have sex; I am an attractive woman and still feel the need to have sex. I do not know what to do?

There is no reason to avoid sex; on the contrary, sex brings closer and improves communication and contact between the couple. Chronic liver disease does not affect sexual fantasies. What is involved in sexual performance? Most couples refrain from having an honest and direct conversation on the subject, which only exacerbates the problem, so it is essential to have an expectation-coordination conversation. When the spouse's relationship is loving, accepting, and containing the healthy spouse can adapt to the sick spouse. The expectation of exciting and spontaneous sex is unrealistic. Men with chronic liver diseases often have erection difficulty, but sex, touch, hugging, and caressing should not be given up. Sex may be less exciting, but it can be full of love, unlike in young couples. Sex should be planned in a comfortable atmosphere, quietly, and without stress.
