3:15:02 AM | Hi Amber, how are you? Well, your post has caused me weeks of thought. I really appreciate you sharing your wonderful new beginning with your husband, that was beautiful! Wow! But I'm not sure when it would be safe to be intimate with one's spouse if they never had MD. I don't know if condoms would keep the condition from passing to the other because while it stops transmission of it via semen or vaginal secretions, intimacy involves prolonged physical contact of the bodies. I think that this condition can be passed that way and especially when the pours are more open due to perspiring. I'm sorry to be less optimistic and romantic here, but I'm concerned about this angle. Maybe others will share their experience about being intimate with someone who doesn't have MD. I don't think I will personally take that risk until I'm 100% cured. I don't want to give this to my hubby no matter what for then we'd all be at risk all over again. We haven't shared a bed or hugged for any significant amount of time in a year now and he still is MD free.
Also I think it important to know that intimacy isnt that important in the scheme of a loving relationship. Love is expressed in many other ways and we must remember that sexual intimacy isn't a necessity. It is a wonderful thing for many couples, But not all couples feel the need for it and still love each other deeply.
The world often says that a couple is dysfunctional if they aren't sexually active, but that is being disproven. I just wanted to share these thoughts that your post triggered in me. I think for 2 people with MD it is not much of a risk as it is of only one has it.
My deepest gratitude for your bringing up this topic and I hope that from it more opinions and experiences will be shared and stimulate some productive discussions.
God Bless you Amber!
