Sex and relationships

Erections, orgasms, fertility and the worry that things might never feel the same. These are subjects Dick and Steve are willing to say out loud. Episode 4 centres on Dick's own experience of sex after surgery. In episode 6, guest Marzena Rybak adds her perspective as his partner. No one couple's experience can predict another's. Start with the conversation closest to your concern, and use the related reading to prepare questions about support, intimacy or fertility for your care team. You don't have to pretend that these questions are unimportant.
