The body as an integral part of sexuality
Changes to the body further affected participants' sexuality, and in turn, their thoughts and feelings about intimacy. For some, these changes were mainly about their changed function and sexual sensations.Now, after a while, it is not at all what is was like before, and it will probably never be like that again. I feel like the whole desire aspect is dependent on other factors now. If I am tired, it is almost impossible [to have sex], and similarly with other feelings. It is like my body no longer has the hormones that creates that sudden urge. (Man, 32 years old).
