Gettin it On! CPAP SEX?

Post by hyperlexis » Tue Sep 11, 2012 1:55 pm

I finally get my machine tomorrow so I have to rely on others' opinions until I start therapy for my apnea.

Anyone want to be brave and discuss? Has anyone actually done it while using their CPAP????????????

Maybe the extra air will help? LOL. If the machine doesn't fry.

Sorry crazy question but no one seems to have ever asked or answered it here before. Which is unusual because people here ask about everything under the sun.

Actually, the subject has been discussed - briefly - a couple of time that I've seen here - you might have to dig into a search.

I don't know you well enough to answer your question though

Cheers,
xena

Seeing that the mask goes on or comes off in about 5 seconds why leave it on?????

I don't think it increases air except for maybe in your stomach. My O2 levels are exactly the same with and without the PAP machine. So, beyond the fact that you would look like an alien, have tubes in places they shouldn't be, and have exhaust vents blowing on your partner, there is really no physical benefit that I can see. But give it a go and let us know. And being by yourself doesn't really count...

Hi Hyper!

According to some of the eastern and Indian thought I am reading the guy is vigilant and should not need to nod off. If all goes well, the gal will probably need to.

There ya go!

If it helps to get it up, or get it in, then on it goes. It`s a major turn-off though. Sort of a bad balance...

Well, if you are BOTH wearing one, I guess it's not THAT big of a turn off..... I donno.... still seems kind of weird, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Hi britinjapan!

Untreated OSA will kill your sexual drive and abilities. Treating it well does indeed bring them back!

Yay for PAP!

It's only true love when you link your air pressure systems?

Oh well, I figure I'm going to look so beyond rediculous with this getup on anyway, no one will ever want to sleep with me, so I might as well try to fetishize it! LOL

Anyone know where I can score six feet of black CPAP tubing and rebreather bags?....

Maybe black leather chin straps or studded headgear? Fighter pilot helmet and mask? Hmmmmmmm.... Perhaps this will all be the next frontier in CPAP gear.....
