How it affects me
It may be of great comfort to read about other people who are already experiencing sexual dysfunction. Realising you are not alone and seeing there are other people in a similar situation can offer great support.
Reading about somebody else's way of dealing with a problem may also give you renewed confidence to look at your situation in a different light, or offer solutions which you may have missed.
These are the stories of people who have experienced sexual dysfunction.
We hope it will help you realise that help and support is at hand.
If you have a story you want to tell which may help or encourage others, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Please send us some details about yourself and your story by completing the form on the right. Or you can call the Press team at Diabetes UK on 020 7424 1000.

"I feel no real desire at all and accept lovemaking now as a gift to my partner because I care about him."
"The desire was still strong, but when it came to the point of penetration, my erection simply vanished."
