Sex and Neck Pain

Sex and Neck Pain

It’s not something we often think about, until it becomes our own problem, but it is possible that neck and shoulder pain could be putting a damper on your sex life! We don’t consider this very often, but how many times can you remember just not feeling up to performing 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 it is is subconsciously. We just don’t feel like doing anything sexual with our 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 sexual activities.

This can sometimes cause even greater stress on your relationship. The great news is, even with neck pain, you can still have a great intimate and sexual relationship with your partner. Even better, you can do this without causing more damage to your neck. In order to do this, you must first understand what causes neck pain. Neck pain is usually caused by holding your neck in an unnatural position for any duration of extended time. So, in order to avoid pain while having sex, some adjustments may be needed. The first of these, is to hold your neck in the natural/neutral position.

So, how does one accomplish this? Well, you could wear a neck brace, but neck braces are often too stiff, and can be aggravating during activities that require movement. Another way to relieve the stress, strain, and pain that holding your neck the wrong way can cause, is by using a well-designed neck pillow. The Neck Sofa® is one such neck pillow.
