When one partner has Crohn's disease, managing intimacy during flare-ups can be challenging. It's important to balance the discomfort of suggesting abstinence against the potential distress caused by accidents during intimacy. Weighing both partners' feelings is crucial in these situations. Conversations about sensitive subjects should be handled gently and with ample time for responses, beginning before any sexual interaction. Clear and respectful communication is essential to ensure both partners feel understood and supported during challenging times.
You have to weigh how much discomfort broaching the subject is likely to cause your wife against how much discomfort you experience worrying about surprise diarrhea during sex.
Consider the discomfort she might experience in a conversation about abstinence during a Crohn's flare-up against the discomfort she experiences when she loses control of her bowels during sex.
Approach her as gently as you can. Use brevity, and leave plenty of space for her to process her reactions and respond.
