“It wasn’t just losing him with the breakup, but a lot of the dreams and hopes I had for the future. It was coming to terms with the idea that this illness might be chronic. That there was no fix.” - Katrina On Part II of our episode on breakups because of chronic illness, we first hear from Katrina, who contracted Malaria while in Uganda and then developed Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (also called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease) after the initial infection. She shares the process of understanding her new reality while in a relationship, its eventual demise, and where she's at regarding the potential for new love now. Then after the break, we're joined by Kirsten Schultz of Chronic Sex, who addresses questions that arose from last week's show regarding the absence of sex in relationships because of illness, and what resources out there might help. And before we close out, Jacqueline addresses a question from a recent reader: Do you ever feel your shortchanging someone in a relationship with you because of your physical limitations?""

This week, I talk with photographer, writer/author, and general badass: Lene Andersen. As you will hear, she is one of the reasons that Chronic Sex started. She is a wonderful advocate, activist, and pal. Keep in mind that this episode was recorded over the summer of 2016. That said, we mention a contest for SYLK that has since run and ended.

In this episode, I talk to Health Activist and Blogger, Kirsten Schultz. She has created the #ChronicSex hashtag and movement around chronic illness, sexuality and disability. The interview was so much fun and so, so important. Masturbation is only one of the many things we talk about. Enjoy!

Let’s face it. Living with chronic pain or chronic illness isn’t “sexy”. Not only can living with pain make us feel uncomfortable in our daily lives, but especially in the bedroom and in our intimate relationships. Studies estimate that 75% of people living with chronic pain experience some form of emotional and sexual dissatisfaction, discomfort, or dysfunction. But it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s possible to have a satisfying sex life and healthy intimate relationships, even while living with pain. This week, Shelly talks with Kirsten Schultz of Chronic Sex. Together, they discuss common quality of life issues and challenges that painiacs face when it comes to cultivating and maintaining intimacy with ourselves and others. *This episode, while not graphic, does contain content that might not be suitable for young children.
