Chronic Illness & Intimacy | Szn. 3 Ep. 13

from Pleasure Project: Sex and Relationships · host Dr. Jenn Kennedy, PhD, LMFT

In this episode, I explore the intersection of chronic illness and sexuality. Focusing on type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and multiple sclerosis—three common conditions affecting people ages 45 to 70—I break down how symptoms and diagnoses impact couples' erotic and relational life. You’ll hear a candid discussion of how chronic illness can disrupt your intimacy, what your partnership might experience as the illness progresses, and how to adapt and reconnect.If chronic illness, aging, or life changes have complicated your sex life, you're not alone—and you're not broken. My new self-paced course is here to help.It's a private, flexible program designed to help you understand your desire, reconnect with your body, and explore what actually turns you on—at your own pace. Whether you’re partnered or solo, this is a chance to understand your erotic self with curiosity, not pressure.BUY NOW#ChronicIllness #SexualHealth #IntimacyAndIllness #DiabetesAndSex #HeartHealth #MultipleSclerosis #AgingAndSexuality #CouplesTherapy #SexTherapist #RelationshipWellness
