Writing to Nina this week is a woman in her 40s married to a man with cerebral palsy. She often finds that her sex drive outstrips the couple's abilities to satisfy her libido, but stepping outside the marriage to seek another partner is not something either of them is willing to consider.

Coping with a partner who has special needs takes understanding, commitment and patience, however, with the right practical knowledge and emotional tools—and a little directed encouragement from Nina—even those with physical limitations can enjoy a fulfilling sex life.



Got something you want to ask Nina? (Of course you do.) Drop her a line at tuesdayswithnina@gmail.com. Now, while can’t promise that every question received will get a personal response, however, those that do will be answered frankly, entertainingly, enlighteningly and, if we know Nina, in the spirit of happy, healthy sex and a satisfied libido.
