_Excellent read which helps sexually active folk get back out there ;) Whilst not_ _specifically related to inflammatory bowel disease,_ _incontinence and ostomies are briefly mentioned. Says its t __he first complete sex guide for people who live with disabilities, pain, illness, or chronic conditions and they are not far wrong._ _The authors cover all aspects of sex and disability, including building a positive sexual self-image; positions to minimize stress and maximize pleasure; dealing with fatigue or pain during sex; finding partners and talking with partners about sex and disability; adapting sex toys etc._ _Particularly liked how visible and invi__ sible disabilities are covered and that this book is nondiscriminatory ie:_ _age, gender, or sexual orientation._ _Superb resources section in the back of the book- excellent for follow up reads,_

_A must read for women who experience pain upon sex and their partners.. Focus is on women’s sexual pain. Doesnt focus on IBD but most women with IBD suffer from painful sex, whether as a direct result of IBD or not. Authors do explain many conditions that cause pain on sex and what treatments are out there._
