Hope Springs - or does it?

DH and I went to see Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones in Hope Springs today and at the end I felt grateful DH still holds my hand! Sexless marriage is a tricky issue, probably not really suited to a Hollywood movie. But the film is thought-provoking if nothing else. Any other views from Gransnetters?

My very virile toy boy has moved out of the area so I've not had sex since June and I miss it too!
I do think you can switch off though hmm

You do know about "rabbits" don't you?

NOT the four legged ones!

Not the same jing! They can't keep your back warm in bed!

No idea of our Nellie's age but I do know that her man is known as her personal "toy boy"...good for her, I say. grin

It's OK but I'd rather read a book. I'd quite like to see the film but do I take DH? I'm not sure......

Crescent moon all. Perhaps I'll sleep tonight!

It's absolutely essential to take DH to the film goldengirl. He'll either cringe with embarrassment or purr like the proverbial cat who is still getting the cream. Either way, it will give you a talking point for your post-film romantic dinner date. wink

I have been married since 1992 and we are still more than happy together - but now this happy relationship has become sexless. He claims to have lost his confidence in the sex area - won’t talk about it with me, although he knows it all s making me very unhappy. He is affectionate and loving - loves to cuddle in bed. If I bring the subject up I am accused of “putting pressure” on him. The problem is erectile dysfunction - he has pills from the doctor which work very well. I live in France - cannot talk to relatives or friends, obviously. I know I shouldn’t complain - but I am unhappy with the situation. He is 64 - I am 73. I don’t feel that age at all!! - or look it (he says). I need to speak to a professional - any ideas out there in Gransnetland??
