My husband could not believe I had never eaten a donar kebab! I would not eat one now because I don't eat meat and wouldn't go near a kebab shop. My mum reached her 90's before trying pizza. I've never had a manicure or a pedicure.

Blimey, feetlebaum! Does that mean you have made love to a girl of every other nationality? shock

feetlebaum Sun 20-May-12 18:23:20

I have never danced (nor would I want to, having seen so much of it)
Always politely declined cocaine or LSD
Never skied on water or snow
Never made love to a Japanese girl
Never fathered a child (as far as I know)

Oh no - not every other nationality - just most major ethnic groups!

Sorry about the double posting - this cockamamie software needs deletion/modification abilities...

Though it may be hard to believe I have never had full intercourse. I have been married for 45 years and I have one child (must have been strong swimmers) I have seen various people over the years but we have now resigned ourselves to "thats how it is". I have read on many websites about this and it is a condition called vaginismus and seemingly very common. You may wonder how my hubby as put up with it all these years well I'm not sure but I know not many would and I know how grateful I am that he as never pushed me into doing something I found so difficult.

misunderstood how brave of you to share that on this forum; I'm sure there must be many women in your situation but it is something that is not spoken about. How lovely that this has not come between you and your husband, and you are still together after 45 years. There is so much more to relationships and personally I feel sex is over rated, but that's easy to say. I didn't feel like that when I was younger and the hormones were raging! You have probably helped a great many people by being so frank about this flowers

Haven't you discussed this with your GP?
There are lots of treatments available for this common condition!

I think misunderstood implied that she'd sought advice along the way, jeni, and now accepts the situation.

I'm pretty sure many other GN members have aspects of their lives they don't choose to share on a forum, and I agree with nightowl that it was brave of you, misunderstood to post as you did. You and your OH are lucky to have such a strong marriage. smile

Sorry, jeni, that did come across as rather pompous, didn't it? blush

jeni Sun 20-May-12 22:05:10

No prob! G'night!

Annobel Mon 21-May-12 09:01:03

What a great idea! I'd like to do that too.

Annobel Mon 21-May-12 09:53:29
