The experts
He think he’s too sick for sex
Q Well before the pandemic, my husband developed a chronic lung disease. Over the several lockdowns since, although he hasn’t caught COVID-19, his mood has become really negative. We still love each other, and we still cuddle up together in the evenings, but he’s anxious about any exertion. This means he’s wary of getting passionate, and our sex life has reduced to almost nothing.
I really want him to realise that, actually, making love is still possible and won’t kill him. Have you any advice to help me reassure him?

A What your husband may not realise is that as long as his doctor says) has great advice about coping with lung conditions, including COVID-19.
