The Impact Parkinson's has on Intimacy and Sexuality
Step up and know what both partners are facing
Knowing what the other partner is feeling is reported to be a struggle. In fact, those with Parkinson’s have reported a lower self-esteem and oftentimes report themselves as less attractive. This type of mindset might need professional help, albeit, a partner can go a long way in promoting the positive thoughts that should absolutely be flowing! When self-esteem is lower, an individual might not feel like they want to have sexual relations, let alone cuddle. This, without the other partner meaning to, can lead to feelings of confusion and resentment if not addressed.
