Alzheimers and sexual behavior: Any suggestions?

Posted by terrilynne @terrilynne, Jul 30, 2023

My hubby has Alzheimer's and has become hypersexual. He is on meds which have helped a bit. The problem is that he constantly wants to have sex and be sexual. This does not happen outside the home. He starts first thing in the morning wanting to "play around". He is constantly asking me for sex. We enjoy a healthy sex life but he doesn't remember and thinks I am denying him. He is now getting angry when I say no or later or tomorrow. I am sure others have experienced this with their loved ones. Any suggestions? I am getting desperate.

@mikaylar I have emailed his office and was told to schedule an appointment. The doctor will not meet me without my husband present. That's not going to work.

@blc1951 Maybe you could write a letter to the doctor that gives all the reasons that you are concerned with your husbands behavior. Mail it to the doctor's office before your appointment with your husband so that the doctor can read the letter and know what the issues are without you having to tell him in front of the doctor. Your husband does not have to see the letter.
Good luck!
