Acknowledging needs

Acknowledging your own needs, and those of your partner if you have one, is essential for healthy sexuality within couples. Remember that it’s not just the person who is ill who will be affected. It can be more upsetting to watch someone we care for undergoing surgery and other treatments than to go through it all ourselves.
