Before I was stable, I was extremely hesitant about having sex because I was afraid of it causing D right during the middle of everything. However, now that I'm stable and don't have to worry about D anymore I am more able to say yes without fear. The one thing that still holds me back (other than the slow libido that seemed to arrive around the same time as my IBS peaked) is worrying about having gas. I just try to avoid gassy foods if I think he might be in the mood that evening so I don't have to worry about it quite so much.
