Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
Dear Betty,
I am a twenty-two year old virgin with severe rheumatoid arthritis. I've had a boyfriend now for a year, and though we have engaged in quite a lot of sexual activity, he is afraid that having sex with me will hurt me even more. I have extremely limited mobility in my left hip and right knee, and only so much stamina, but I love him and I want to try it. Even if it affects me poorly afterwards I'm still willing. Do you have any suggestions about what position might be the least likely to cause problems, and perhaps put my boyfriend at ease about hurting me?
Sincerely,
D
Dear D,
Dear Dr. Betty,
I'm 36 yrs. old. Until I was 30 yrs. old I did not know that women had orgasms. I have NO interest in sex at all. My relationship of 6 yrs is failing because of this. My boyfriend feels like he's just my best friend since we don't have sexual relations besides me taking care of him. When we are together it hurts most of the time on the left side. Do you have any answers for me?
