SEX and COPD- We ain't dead yet!

Let's face it- a sexual relationship takes a lot of energy and air. But, just because you may have limitations because of lung disease, this does not mean your sexual life is over. There's sex and then there's S-E-X.

The following web sites and articles address intimacy and COPD. Some make suggestions on how to manage traditional sexual activities while others offer alternatives to provide a satisfying intimate encounter with your significant other.

As with all activities that effect your breathing, please check with your doctor before trying anything new.
