...It's kind of a mixed back for me. Often my seizures are caused by stress. Due to the... well, feeling of euphoria during sex, I think I'd be less likely to have a seizure. Nevertheless, given the small palpitations I might have during masturbation, that is some stress in itself, huh? Damn... three years without sex. I don't think I could turn to an escort, but I don't want to enter a relationship with my epilepsy as it is now!

When was the last time you did things by yourself? Did it happen then?

Does it take a long time for you to orgasm? If it does you might be getting frustrated/stressed because of that and that could cause problems? When you're with someone do you use any sort of protection? Could you be worried that it won't work?

Don't be afraid to get into a relationship. Tell your boyfriend/girlfriend that you have epilepsy and explain what could happen. This might make it easier and less stressful about doing things.
 
Sorry for the typo, but I actually meant to say mixed BAG if you hadn't guessed that already. :paperbag:

Er, well, I guess it's slightly embarrassing but I do things myself quite regularly, though I suppose that makes me like just about any guy. If by it you're referring to the minor palpitations, sometimes they happen but it depends how hard I have to try. (Which often is dependent on the quality of the content I use to get off, if not my own thoughts.)

On that note, it can take a long time but that can change due to certain factors. For example, I usually need to stretch my legs out unless I'm very relaxed. (Which I'm often not.) I've never orgasmed with a woman. I have to do it myself. This has often made me feel bad, because I don't want the partner to feel like she's doing a bad job. I've heard it is likely something called performance anxiety.

I have usually used protection, although it doesn't feel good, but I guess the pros outweigh the cons. I've realised it was a bad choice not to use protection sometimes in the past and I guess it doesn't matter now as nothing bad has happened. Forget relationships though—nowadays I find it very difficult to form a friendship. In the past I've always been a lone wolf of sorts. I had a few basic friendships but spent most of my time with my girlfriends. I feel as if most women would not want to give such devotion to somebody with such a problem, because devotion isn't just an ideal like before; now it's a prerequisite due to epilepsy.

I think I should probably consider a long-lasting friendship before considering relationships, and I know what I'm writing doesn't give any vibe of confidence (in truth I'm a nervous wreck and need to change myself), but even if I became a more confident person there's a high chance epilepsy will always be with me, thus making it a serious matter of consideration for any woman.
 
I feel bad for guys because they really can't fake it like a woman can. You could tell the woman that you don't ejaculate much and that's why there isn't anything down there.

My husband has had problems sometimes. No matter what we do it just doesn't work. So we just quit and try later, either that day or in a few days.

My husband was going through chemo therapy a few years ago and he had to use a condom and he had a lot of problems with them. He'd wear it with me but he usually couldn't keep his erection.

If you get into a relationship with someone you can tell them what you go through. It's not like you have to jump into bed with someone on the first date.
 
Had a seizure during happy adult time and hubby was horrified. He thought he broke me with the sex.

Luckily I was able to remind him getting 15 year old boys to write poetry has provoked seizures. So pretty much anything can make my brain backfire.

You dude have made me laugh so much I nearly peed myself.
These are the sort of questions no one asks, but most people think, nothing perverse just life.

God I'm gonna sound old, but when I was 19 had a TC on the job, not great for the partner, but tried my best to finish the job properly.
All I can remember is waking up in hospital with mismatching clothes in the side locker.
I told my friends it was drink induced.
Worst bit she didn't come back for seconds :-(

I tend to get the urge between 2-4am not good when you need sleep, but that itch needs scratching.
Wouldn't mind if it's a quicky but never is pmsl.

That is pretty funny, I don't think I'm going to forget that either!!!!

My husband was the opposite, he just thought I was REALLY getting into things and he was doing a REALLY good job!

I just told my husband this and he got a pretty good kick out of it!

He's just hoping that your husband was able to get you fixed so you can still have happy adult time. (He's got a very kind heart.... :roflmao: )
 
Lol i mostly just feel like im in some crazy altered state or that im going to transform into some raging sex demon...wait a minute...i already am a raging sex demon :D

Apparently i clench my jaw really tight absentmindedly and my whole body just feels like it's going to explode...or should i say spontenously combust...but it never does thank god...i just have a horrible headache afterwards and a sore **** lol...some people like to pass out right after but not me...im running to the kitchen like a ravenous beast :evil2:

we actually took a survey around the coffee shop once,

women are pretty horrible creatures, most guys will quit and check on their s/o's if they
think they are having a seizure. Most women will just ride the wave and have fun till it's done.
 
Granted I haven't read everything on this thread but I can't help but wonder if anybody is scared of having sex because of seizures. Sometimes I have a seizure after sex but I've had a seizure after dinner too, so I don't care. Libido is my main concern.
