Pain changes how you feel about getting close. One reviewer wrote in a review: "I really miss certain sexual positions, but my knees are getting old."
Sex therapist Eva Dillon told CNN: "if sex is painful, you can begin to dread the next time, and it sets up a cycle, which you don't want."
The ache often comes from effort. Arms propping you up. Knees taking the weight. Hips held at an angle with nothing under them. Take the effort away, and getting close feels easier on your body.
