We're going to talk about BPD and physical intimacy (sex). BPD is a mental health disorder that can cause a lot of difficulty in relationships, particularly with regards to physical intimacy. I'll be covering topics like trauma, physical closeness, and love. I hope that this video can help you learn more about what BPD is and how it affects you and your relationships.
Physical intimacy is a problem many individuals with BPD experience, whether male or female. These issues have been found through research to be based on impulsive desire to connect physically too quickly, reduced satisfaction from physical intimacy, increased boredom related to physical intimacy, avoidance of physical intimacy altogether, greater preoccupation with physical intimacy, and multiple complaints pertaining to physical intimacy.
Research also illustrates that individuals with BPD report more problems with physical intimacy related to fear and anxious symptoms following an experience of physical intimacy, and general difficulties with performance pertaining to physical intimacy.
Individuals with BPD were found to have more intimate encounters than those who did not have BPD. This was broken down and it was found that factors that impact frequency of encounters include if you’re in an ongoing relationship or not, and the level of rejection sensitivity or anxiety. If you’re in an ongoing relationship or have a higher level of rejection sensitivity or anxiety, intimate encounters were found to be equal to those without BPD.
Watch the video to find out about about how you can strengthen your connection to others, to include intimacy encounters.
