Is Neck Pain Affecting Your Sex Life?

Related imageSociety tends to shy away from speaking up about things that involve a sex life, but it is something that needs to be talked about, especially if it might be that neck and shoulder pain could be putting a damper on your sex life. How many times can you remember just not feeling up to performing sexual (or even non-sexual) activities with your significant other because your body just felt too tired or worn out? Neck pain can quickly cause a decrease in your interest for sexual encounters. Sometimes the effect may be subconsciously, and one just doesn’t feel like doing anything with partners. Other times, we are completely aware of our neck pain or stiffness, and out of fear of causing more damage, pain, or inflammation, we instead opt to pass on activities that we would otherwise feel free to participate in.
