How to Feel More Comfortable when Having Sex?

Our Free Psoriasis Dating Site: Psoriasis-Aid.com / Dating

First of all, if it is your first sexual encounter with your partner, you should let him/her know about your psoriasis in advance. Your partner has to be spared form a possible "surprise".

After you and your partner have developed a sufficient emotional bond, just mention in a conversation that you have psoriasis - a non-contagious genetic disorder with skin manifestations.

Tell your partners that such famous people like Ben Franklin and John Updike, CariDee English and LeAnn Rimes also have or had psoriasis.

You may think that you look terrible or that your skin feels horrible. It is not true. Every human being is attractive, and the other people - the people that like us - tend to see our pluses, at the time when we ourselves tend to get stuck on our imperfections. Everyone has imperfections, and psoriasis is nothing compared to missing a leg or an arm etc.

Even if your partner understands, it is still hard, like if they are touching or kissing you near psoriasis areas etc. Think about it this way - they can get your flake in their mouth, but you may get their hair in your mouth, so I guess its ok to just relax about it too.

Focus on the pleasure, try to tune in into your and your partners joy.

Another thing to do is to dim the lighting or to use candles, which are both very erotic and relaxing. Or you may choose to turn the lights off altogether.

If you know when the sexual encounter is going to take place, you may prepare for it - treat your genital psoriasis with a mild steroid cream, or a non-steroidal cream for genital psoriasis, such as Dovonex (calcipotriene), Protopic (tacrolimus) or Elidel (pimecrolimus). UVB is usually also a good and fast genital psoriasis treatment.

Just think about it - 120-180 million people on Earth feel very similar to how you and I feel! Read John Updike's novel "The Centaur" (National Book Award, 1963), and see how his character - young boy named Peter - goes through school and romantic relations with his psoriasis, and how his girlfriend does not care about his psoriasis one bit because she loves him.
