driverann the mind bogglesgrin

I have been celibate for last 6 1/2 years since DH died, sex had almost ceased for the previous couple of years but he had bouts of depression. Previously our sex life was brilliant but he would still kiss & cuddle. I do miss the cuddles most of all, I couldn't live with a man who was totally hands off particularly after a long relationship/marriage

I too read "position" confused , don't think I'm up for a marathon, in my younger days yes but not now, don't think the joints would play nicelygrin

Exactly what I was thinking!

I telephoned to book a massage the receptionist said “ would you like to book one hour with a male masseur or two hours for a lady masseuses. Both cost £40”
I asked why did the lady take two hours. She replied “oh she just enjoys her job and only does ladies”

Hi
My partner of 20 years (we’re both in our late 60s) has been impotent for the last four years. Previously we shared a very happy and mutually satisfying sex life but now he won’t even cuddle.
He is appears depressed (cause or effect?) but won’t talk about it or seek help, just says he’s old and tired.
We still sleep together, him on the far side of the bed in a virtual suit of armour and pulls away if I even touch him.
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life celibate and without any physical affection at all.
Any ideas?

If you say to him that you desperately need a cuddle ( not in bed) how does or would he react ? If he won’t even consider that , then you have tell him that things can’t go as they are, ie does he want to end up living separate lives ?
Sometimes it’s good to write a letter, & perhaps he would find it easier to write his feelings down. Best wishes

What is sex ? I thought it was something that posh people carry there potatoes i n . I rather have a piece of chocolate cake and a cup of tea .

You really think that any man would be able to carry on for 2 hours without falling asleep half way through??

Daisymae Fri 05-Jul-19 11:34:46

Well yes, talk to him about how you feel. Choose a time when you are both relaxed and maybe have some suggestions for how some intamacy can be restored. If he refuses you only have 2 options, but you will have tried.

My partner of 20 years (both in our late 60s) has been impotent for nearly five years. Previously we had enjoyed a very active sex life.
He also seems depressed (cause or effect?), but refuses to discuss it or seek help. He won’t even cuddle, practically wears a suit of armour in bed, and sleeps on the edge of his side.
I love him as much as ever but don’t want to be celibate for the rest of my life without any physical contact apart from a quick peck on the cheek.
Any ideas?

Well, next time hubby suggests it, I'll put the timer on to wake me up at around 1:58 ... he'll never know!

I always like the line from Mrs Doubtfire, his idea of of foreplay was
" brace yourself Effie ".?

blondenana Fri 05-Jul-19 09:49:57

Oh dear,i read it as new position too, i thought that might be very uncomfortable shock

Daddima Fri 05-Jul-19 09:43:58

ann, one of my colleagues alleged that her husband’s idea of foreplay was to ask, “Will I keep them in or take them oot”.

Referring to his dentures, obviously.

GrauntyHelen Fri 05-Jul-19 01:39:21

only two hours- we prefer a marathon to a sprint

52bright Fri 05-Jul-19 01:00:37

If I am going to have to keep going for 2 hours never mind phone a friend I will have to ask the whole audience how grin

SynchroSwimmer Thu 04-Jul-19 22:34:21

I too misread it as “new position” ?

Anyway - we need a link - so we can see what it’s all about.

Asking for a friend....

Thanks ladies for sharing your lovely , humorous observations. We can now lay back & think of each other ?but make sure you don’t giggle !

Someone's been meeting the wrong men, annsixty!

annsixty Thu 04-Jul-19 21:54:27

I thought most men's idea of foreplay was " how about it"
Thats 10 seconds used up.

grumppa Thu 04-Jul-19 21:49:00

Do these timings include foreplay?
