Hiya
I’ve had MS for about 6/7 years now, I’ve never had sex neither do I masturbate but I seem to hardly or never had any wet dreams, is this a direct result of the MS damage. Does anybody else suffer from these same problems?
Just something on my mind was wondering if I could get any help here with the possibly embarassing things!
Cheers
Don’t be too shy, there is help and MS is likely to knock most peoples sex drives! I very much doubt you are alone and have seen quite a few comments from guys with erectile dysfuntion issues. And if you have suffered from depression like a lot of people, that’ll mess with your sex-drive even further
I had a conversation with someone via a Facebook group about LDN - he was hoping it would help him, that’s not something that’s talked about really but given it’s supposed to help your body produce endorphins then who knows?!
Good luck

Hi
You’re definitely not alone! I had a complete two year absence of sex drive shortly after diagnosis, after 33 years of having an over-abundant one! Even now when I’m symptomatic it’s the first thing to disappear.
It might sound strange, but it was (at times) a nice relief: as in, one less “itch to scratch”. Gave my brain space to think about other things. Hopefully that might help put a positive spin on the situation. Monks and spiritual people often put a lot of time and effort into their celibacy…
Take care.

MS can certainly affect the “sex signals” around the body but there is help out there for us guys who find it a problem, urologists and a good MS nurse can get you the help to alleviate the “problem” but it all depends on age as well and sex drive can have its peaks and troughs.
So I presume the wet dream issue is a relared ‘issue’. I guess that’s explained then!
Thanks a lot guys.
Definitely not alone on this issue…my sex drive has also disappeared completely…its like playing snooker with a rope! I have read that it is a symptom of MS but not sure if there is any solution available.
I am completley opposite. I get several involuntart erection per day which can last as long as 2 hours. Masturbating until I ejaculater does not make the erection go down
Its very embarrasing out in public when it happens as it can be seen through my trousers
