I'm so tired of reading about couples like Joe and Jess who just happen to have amazing sex lives despite having terminal cancer 
Like, what's the point of sharing this with everyone else? Are we supposed to be inspired by their love or something? 
It just feels like a Hallmark card moment 
And don't even get me started on how they "credit" their deep emotional connection and trust in each other for keeping their sex life alive
Like, did they not have those feelings before cancer came along? 
It's just so convenient to blame the disease for everything that goes wrong in their relationship 
I swear, every time I see a story like this one, it feels like the forum is just trying to guilt trip me into feeling something I don't need to feel
. Can we just have a real discussion about cancer and intimacy without all the sappy feel-good vibes? 
. Did you know that 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer by 2027? 
That's over 20% of us! Anyway, it's amazing how sex can become a form of healing for them - they've got the whole intimacy thing down to a science 
. In fact, research shows that couples who experience regular physical touch have lower cortisol levels and blood pressure 
.
. It's like, cancer might take away your body, but it can't take away your feelings or love for each other 
. And let's not forget, 70% of people with cancer experience mood swings and depression 
.
It's like, they're doing their own research without even realizing it! 
... but can't suck the life outta this couple's sex life 
... just kidding lol 
... seriously though, its like they say 'sex is love's proof' 
... and cancer might try to strip away everything, but this couple's love is stronger than that 
... even if they cant have the same intimacy anymore, they find new ways to connect & make each other feel good
