The good news is that scientists have found a solution to sexual problems caused by depression. All you have to do is talk.<\/p>\n<h3>How Depression Affects Sex<\/h3>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Depression affects the quality of life, relationships, and sexual satisfaction. Couples who deal with this condition report many <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scientificamerican.com\/mind-guest-blog\/the-warning-signs-that-depression-is-affecting-your-relationship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">difficulties<\/a>, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-read-aloud-multi-block=\"true\">\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\">not enjoying time together<\/li>\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\">irritability leading to conflicts<\/li>\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\">emotional absence of the partner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">On a sexual level, depression is a pleasure killer. It feels like you are unable to be happy and enjoy anything. It becomes more difficult to get aroused and have an orgasm. 75 percent of people with depression <a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/1996-00402-005\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lose their libido<\/a>. \u00a0If both partners have depression, this can turn into a case of a sexless relationship. If one partner has lost their sex drive, the other may feel guilty for having sexual needs.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Depression can lead to a vicious circle of self-blame. You may start doubting your ability to nurture the relationship. Some people say they feel like a burden. Partners may lose confidence and sacrifice their own sexual happiness.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Medication is often necessary to manage depression. Unfortunately, many popular treatments have negative side effects, such as difficulty becoming aroused or feeling pleasure.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dib\" style=\"width: 900px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediashower.com\/img\/295A29BC-6C74-11EB-83F4-5A75624D69AA\/bigstock-Sad-Face-Depressed-Elderly-Afr-353130185_900x.jpg\" alt=\"Depression affects millions of Americans\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Depression affects millions of Americans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>ED and Depression<\/h3>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">For men who struggle with depression, ED is a serious concern. One Korean <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/ijir201132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study\u00a0<\/a>of older men revealed that depression was associated with the severity of erectile dysfunction. The connection can go both ways. For men prone to depressive states, ED can be one of the factors that destabilize emotions. Erectile dysfunction can also be one of the components of a depressive episode.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Taking certain antidepressants, known as SSRIs, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/can-viagra-help-men-whose-ed-is-caused-by-antidepressants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">can lead to ED<\/a>. If you feel your medication is causing problems with erections, talk to your doctor. You might be able to switch to another drug that doesn&#8217;t put your sex life on hold. Interestingly, recent <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/clinical-depression-and-ed-could-cialis-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studies\u00a0<\/a>suggest that certain types of ED medication may have antidepressant properties.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\"><strong>How Depression Impacts Couples\u2019 Sex Lives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Couples dealing with depression tend to feel stuck in unproductive patterns. Researchers have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/how-to-keep-sex-alive-in-couples-with-depression\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">identified\u00a0<\/a>two factors responsible for relationship problems when one or both partners are depressed:<\/p>\n<ul data-read-aloud-multi-block=\"true\">\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\"><strong>Relationship uncertainty<\/strong> happens when you don&#8217;t feel secure in your relationship. Your partner&#8217;s emotional states make him or her unpredictable. You feel like you don\u2019t know where your relationship is headed.<\/li>\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\"><strong>Interference\u00a0<\/strong>happens when your partner acts in a way that interferes with your daily life. You feel out of balance and forced to constantly adapt and give up on your plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Both relationship uncertainty and interference can mess with your bedroom life. You may notice you two drifting apart and losing that intimate connection. The longer these problems persist, the more difficult it gets to talk about your sexual needs and challenges. And even if you discuss your problems, you may feel like your communication is not effective.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dib\" style=\"width: 900px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediashower.com\/img\/295A29BC-6C74-11EB-83F4-5A75624D69AA\/bigstock-Middle-eastern-young-couple-si-378889240_900x.jpg\" alt=\"Depression Can Make You Feel Disconnected\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Depression can make you feel disconnected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Surprising Way to Fix Your Sex Life<\/h3>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Some couples have found a simple way to heal their sexuality. Results of a 2020 study suggest that good communication helps people maintain their sexual connection in spite of depression.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">The study took the form of an <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0093650220958222\">online survey<\/a> of over 100 heterosexual American couples. Participants were mostly white\/Caucasian and married. In 41 couples, both partners had been diagnosed with depression.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">The study confirmed that relationship uncertainty and interference made it more difficult for couples to engage in a meaningful exchange about sex. Researchers suggested that practitioords \u2014 for example, therapists \u2014 could teach couples how to manage those complicated relationship dynamics.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Good intimate communication between partners acts as a protective mechanism for the relationship as a whole. Couples who are able to discuss their bedroom problems in a positive atmosphere have a greater chance of avoiding the negative effects of depression.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dib\" style=\"width: 900px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediashower.com\/img\/295A29BC-6C74-11EB-83F4-5A75624D69AA\/bigstock-Top-View-Shot-Of-A-Happy-Multi-401506100_900x.jpg\" alt=\"Talking About Sex Helps Couples with Depression\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Talking about sex helps couples with depression<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Tips for Successful Sexual Communication<\/h3>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Mastering communication skills is key to sexual happiness for all couples, not only those with depression. One study showed that an online communication skills program can lead to more satisfaction in bed. Participants <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/301317428_Finding_the_Love_Guru_in_You_Examining_the_Effectiveness_of_a_Sexual_Communication_Training_Program_for_Married_Couples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">learned techniques<\/a> to talk about intimate matters. They also felt empowered to start these conversations.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Here are some tips to help you improve your sex talk skills:<\/p>\n<ul data-read-aloud-multi-block=\"true\">\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\"><strong>Find the Right Moment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Starting a discussion about ED and similar problems after a failed attempt to have intercourse may not be the best idea. Find a more neutral setting to talk about your intimate difficulties. A walk in the park might be a better option.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Use the time after sex, even if the whole thing did not go as planned, for building trust and connection. Find one thing that you enjoyed and share it with your lover. Appreciate the fact that you got together and did something positive as a couple.<\/p>\n<ul data-read-aloud-multi-block=\"true\">\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\"><strong>Find the Right Words<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Most people avoid talking about sex because they don&#8217;t have the right vocabulary. Many of us never received sex education in school. It&#8217;s time to catch up and to read a few books about sex. Learning proper names of intimate body parts and erotic techniques will give you more confidence.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">If you feel like medical terminology is too cold and unsexy, go ahead and invent your own code words or cute names! Reminding yourself that sex is playful can feel very refreshing.<\/p>\n<ul data-read-aloud-multi-block=\"true\">\n<li data-speechify-sentence=\"\"><strong>Practice Talking to a Health Professional<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">If your depressive states have led to the loss of libido or erectile dysfunction, gather the courage and talk to your doctor. It can be a great way to practice discussing sexuality in a more neutral situation. Doctors are used to talking about most intimate things. Learn from them!<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">In any case, it&#8217;s good to examine the connection between depression and ED with your doctor. He or she can prescribe medicines that don&#8217;t cause problems with erections.<\/p>\n<p data-speechify-sentence=\"\">Still unsure if you&#8217;re ready to talk to your physician? <a class=\"ms_click_tracking\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/?__mscta=2392_86590_11487\">Visit eDrugstore.com<\/a> and take advantage of a free, confidential consultation online.
