If you have a health condition that makes you tired, or if you're recovering from illness or injury, here are some ideas for conserving energy when you have sex or intimate time.
Share your thoughts with your partner or partners, and come up with solutions together.
Use your bronchodilator medicine before you have sex. This can improve your shortness of breath.
Switch positions, or try other ways of being close, such as touching, kissing, and hugging.
Your doctor can help you get information, support, and advice so you can enjoy sex again.
