For generations, food and sex have been inextricably linked. Eating disorders cause a host of issues that affect every area of your life. However, one area which receives little attention is that of sexuality. Yet for many sufferers, sex is a major problem for those who suffer from all kinds of eating disorders, from anorexia to binge eating disorder.

Individuals with eating disorders who also experience sexual difficulties may require a multifaceted approach that addresses both their eating disorder and the sexual issues. Treatment options may include therapy (such as cognitive behavioral therapy), medical intervention, and lifestyle changes. It's important for a qualified healthcare professional to assess the specific situation and tailor a treatment plan accordingly.
