Hope Springs - or does it?

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??

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.

Crescent moon all. Perhaps I'll sleep tonight!

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......

nellie will be 60 next birthday - she told us on the Birthday thread!

Quite!

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.

And they don't go downstairs and make a !!

True.

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

NOT the four legged ones!

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

jeni

Has he moved into mine?

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

And how old is our Nellie?!!!

Our Nellie knows a thing or two.

see, like this

I read somewhere that a woman can reach her sexual peak in her forties as it's nature's way of trying to get another child out of her before she is past it. Unfortuntely the same article said that a man reaches his peak in his early twenties.

So, all women in their forties should get a toy boy.

And be very careful.

Of course you're not a freak Vampirequeen. (((Hugs))) to you.

I saw the film last week with my friend, and we both agreed that it made us feel thankful for our dear OH's! I liked it, but agree that it was a bit cringe-inducing in parts. I still like sex (not as often as vamps, obviously), and find that it improves our mood enormously. A lie in on Saturday morning ensures a happy weekend! Phoenix and Jeni

Should I add that Mr Vamps and I have only been married for just over a year?

Prior to that I was married to an unmentionable who never bothered with me just anyone else he could get so I have been through a very very barren period.

Up to last year I had to take the pill. The nurse once asked me if I thought I really needed it.

"After all," she said. "When we reach our age we don't bother much about that sort of thing."

I explained how often I bothered about 'that sort of thing.' She looked me up and down, tutted as if I was some brazen Jezebel, snapped, "Well I haven't been bothered with THAT for at least two years," and issued my prescription

I haven't had sex for 12 years. AND I MISS IT!
