Living with long COVID can significantly impact one's ability to engage in sexual activities that require high energy. The letter-writer describes their struggle to find a fulfilling sexual experience without excessive fatigue. They reflect on how traditional notions of 'good sex' are tied to energetic acts, making it challenging to adapt after significant health changes. In response, suggestions highlight the importance of redefining intimacy, exploring low-energy activities, and fostering emotional connections to find a balanced and fulfilling sexual life.
