Living with Parkinson’s | Bryce Perry

When Parkinson’s Hits Below the Belt: Let’s Talk Sexual Health with Parkinson’s

Bryce Perry | DOING LIFE TODAY Season 1 Episode 45

Let’s talk about sex. Yeah, even with Parkinson’s. Not exactly the kind of thing you hear in a neurologist’s office, right? But if you’ve noticed changes in desire, performance, comfort, or confidence—you are not alone.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I’m tackling the intimate side of Parkinson’s that often gets ignored. Erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, loss of desire, embarrassment about symptoms… these are real challenges, and they’re not “just in your head.”

We’ll cover:

  • Why Parkinson’s impacts sexual health in both men and women
  • The emotional side of intimacy: confidence, connection, and feeling wanted
  • Honest tips to open up conversations with your partner (without shame)
  • Practical solutions—medications, therapies, and adjustments that can help
  • Why silence—not Parkinson’s—is what really kills your sex life

This isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about staying connected, finding closeness in new ways, and knowing you’re still worthy of love and intimacy.

💬 Have you noticed changes in your sexual health since diagnosis? Do you feel like no one’s talking about it? Drop a comment—or if you’d rather keep it private, join the Inner Circle community. That’s where we go deeper, safely and confidentially.

✅ Connect with others living with Parkinson’s or caring for someone who is

✅ Join me for live Zoom-style meetups every month

✅ Share openly about topics like this one in a safe, judgment-free place

✅ Access early releases and behind-the-scenes videos

🧠 You don’t have to do Parkinson’s alone.
