I'm female, and I must say this condition has not been great for my sex drive and sex life. When my stomach hurts the LAST thing I want to do is get it on, especially after a bout. I just feel gross and dirty even after I take a shower. It's gotten to the point where even when my stomach feels okay, I get anxious about it hurting again in the middle of... and I have very little sex drive anymore. I think it's mental for me, though, not physical. This condition has not been very good for my relationship!
