Hello. Ok deep breath...My name is Suzanne and I'm married 34 years to a great guy but we've struggled with peyronies for about 8 years, ontop of my difficulty with post menopausal dryness/pain at intercourse and our level of intimacy isn't good. We haven't had sex in about 4 years and before that, it was only once every few months for several years. My husband was never much of a talker during sex, though early on, we were pretty adventurous and had an active sex life. Over the years, we've been through marriage therapy 4x. None of those therapists ever picked up on our sexual difficulties or on the effects of what I only recently realized was a rape in college. I had gone to a party, and soon after my arrival, I was drugged (probably something slipped into my drink) and woke up the next morning to find myself lying naked next to a guy who was acting like I had been a willing participant. I basically spent the next 30 years convinced that I just drank too much and made a poor choice-- and didn't tell anyone until very recently. My husband has had difficulty understanding how deeply this experience affected me though he can be very thoughtful at times. I know we need help but I am stumped as to what type, where to find it, and how to get him to buy into it.
Hi;
I'm sorry for your problems.
Does your husband suffer from Peyronie's disease? If not, I think you have the wrong forum.
My apologies. I missed the bit where you mentioned Peyronie's.
Hi Teachsuzanne!
There is actually a board in this forum called "Women Speak Out about Peyronie's Disease - PUBLIC Forum". If you go back to the main page and you look for the boards located at the lowest part of the page, you'll find it at the section called "Other Peyronies Disease Discussion Boards".
I hope it will be helpful. The first thing that your husband should do is go to a urologist to get diagnosed, if he hasn't done that yet! :)
