Hello All,
I posted this question three years ago after I had my pump installed, but received no feedback (so I'll try again). For you who have a pump and have normal sexual relations with a spouse or significant other, has your sexual performance been adversely affected since getting the pump? In addition to general overall weakness, urinary and bowel irregularities, I often have a difficult time reaching climax while making love with my wife (and all of these functions were normal for the most part before getting this stupid pump). I don't have the problem that requires Viagra, just trouble "completing." It's very frustrating, because I'm crazy about my wife and she still excites me after 11 years of marriage, so when this happens it's frustrating for both of us. Any thoughts?

My husband has the baclofen pump and there has been no change from before to after. He is in the same boat as you as far as not being able to complete. I don't think the baclofen pump affects sexuality in any way...for us, it has calmed the spasms some making it easier for sex.
