    Although it can be awkward, couples dealing with multiple sclerosis (MS) should make every effort to discuss their sexual difficulties. If you simply shy away from physical intimacy or avoid sex, your partner may assume you're no longer interested in him or her and may not realize that MS-related physical or emotional problems are to blame. Once sexual issues are openly discussed, couples can begin to work through them and begin to enjoy intimacy again.
