Jonathon -- Not sure exactly what kind of sexual behavior you are
referring to.  I can say that the greastest gift you can give yourself is
to make sure that your partner is caring, considerate and understanding
of your situation. That will decrease stress and anxiety and therefore
muscle tension.  It will also allow you the freedom to experience
everything with a clear mind (kind of stumbled there!)
