I can relate to a lot of what you’re saying, especially in terms of how opiates can mess with your sexual health. I went through something similar after I had a few major surgeries, and it took a while before I felt like I was even close to my old self. One thing that helped me was understanding that the body doesn’t always recover at the same rate as the mind. It’s not always about what you can do, but also about what you feel comfortable with.
Something I found helpful was really focusing on foreplay. For a while, I felt like I wasn’t reaching climax like I used to, but I realized that I was just rushing things. I started focusing more on the buildup, really enjoying those moments of connection, and being less focused on the end goal. It can take the pressure off, and I’ve noticed it actually helps me enjoy the journey more, which in turn increases the intensity when I do climax.
I’d also suggest experimenting with different positions or types of stimulation. After recovery, sometimes the same old things don’t work the same way. I’ve found that different angles, pressure points, or even slight variations in rhythm can make a huge difference. Also, if you haven’t yet, consider talking to a therapist or counselor who specializes in sex and recovery. It can be helpful to explore any emotional blockages that may be lingering.
Finally, listen to your body and keep a positive mindset. I know it’s frustrating when things aren’t back to “normal,” but recovery is a journey, and sometimes it takes some detours. Stay open to what works for you, and trust the process.
