Marital life during and after Interferon/Ribivirin
I am infected with Hep-C and now taking peg interferon injections with ribavirin for the past two months. Last Saturday I took 7th injection. Side effects are numerous. I have to take fever medicine twice a day even with pain killers.
Major side effect is significant decrease in ejaculation time. That was never before. I am very worried about that so as my partner. Can anyone guide me how to combat during and after treatment?

Your "major side effect" is a "significant decrease in ejaculation time." and you are taking pain killers and fever meds?? Your partner is worried?? I am not sure whether to be amused or impressed. I think I am both. In that vein ( intentional pun) investigate Taoist Sexual Kung Fu. There are simple grips and breathing techniques that require a modicum of discipline that should remedy your "major side effect" HA! Keep up the good work. Good luck with treatment.
you got that right crigger!..sex? no way..after maybe 4 weeks of tx i didn't even want to touch anyone....
