Sex Relieves Stress, Doesn't It?!?!
I'm a highly sexual being. So you'll excuse me if I just come right out and talk about it.
Anyone dealing with pericarditis knows that sex basically goes out the window, making things between you and the partner who doesn't know how to or doesn't want to deal with your illness that much more difficult. Still, love yourself more than you love a good orgasm.

- Forget about intercourse for a while - weeks, months, as long as it takes for you to heal. You'll know when you're well enough to comfortably engage without regretting it later.
- If you have a supportive lover, he or she will help you two find new ways together to engage in satisfying physical intimacy - with or without a full physical release, which, when engaged in, can be more physically taxing than the pleasure it brings.
- I once had a lover who was so into tactile perception in and of itself that he could lay next to me completely nude and erect, doing nothing more than brushing his finger lightly over the contours of my own nude body, kissing me on the mouth every several minutes just to communicate his intense interest and he'd be completely mentally satisfied and content! This went on for hours... That kind of sex combined with massages can be incredibly intimate and satisfying if you and your lover just open yourselves up to it.
- Forget the G-spot; the PC-spot is so much more interesting right now! You know that painful spot just between your left shoulder and spine, so common in pericarditis patients, essentially the backside of your heart, yes, get your lover to end this gentle touch lovemaking with a massage right on that spot, relaxing you to sleep.
- Take this time to find other ways, beyond sex, that you and your partner can be close. Actively seek out activities you can comfortably do together.
- The more work you put into taking it easy so you can get better faster, the faster you will get better. Push yourself for instant gratification now (yours or your partner's), and you'll stay sick longer.
