Hi! I'm female and have POTS too. As far as I know, nothing is affected in that area. I'm usually in more of a horizontal position which is generally best for our bodies. The actual orgasm isn't as demanding as the main act of sex is, at least for me. Sex is definitely a cardio workout so my heart rate gets up there, but it's never dangerous.

I would suggest searching up facebook groups for POTS. My mother is really involved with them since my sister and my father have POTS along with me. We just recently went to a POTS conference and met others with it :)

I can see how that could happen. I've never passed out from anything, but at some points during sex I'll get really light headed, my face will get really red, and I'll breathe really heavily. I assume that if I kept that up for a little bit I'd probably pass out.

Like a lot of us say, we just don't look sick!

How are you able to handle that job? I can't stand for more than two or three hours at most, given that I'm doing something I really enjoy so I'm not paying attention to my symptoms. Do you wear any stockings or have a stool nearby to sit on?
