LLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA-A good dose of sex makes the heart glad
even for a menoausal woman (thank you yoni balme)
Sometimes i think it is the last thing on this earth I need to engage in...lol and to see the joy on my husband face when the slight bit of friskiness comes over me...well it is blissful, really
Some of you need to post some new threads so this will get buried quickly...lol

or we could keep bumping it with replies.
I agree with you though. It can be hard to find the drive at times, particularly when my other health issues are in the way, but when I do it is like a little slice of heaven for both of us. And I might add, orgasm and the resulting flood of hormones have nearly miraculous analgesic properties so I can look forward to a good few hours of relatively pain free existence afterwards.

You go Katie. Did you finish yoru writing by the way.
T-hope things are good for you Lots of things going on in your life...good things!
I am almost green with envy, but am more elated that you were able to take time to find release! The nerve sensations for me are about 30% of what they should be. I really miss having that intimate connection.

Me too....for almost a year I felt less than a woman and had to REALLY work hard at those feelings. I relaly could nto share with anyone either. It was a very emotional issue for me.

Here here. It is indeed miraculous

mama. You'll find the way to bring the intimacy back. I just know you will.
Thank you for your vote of support. I really need to read this right now. When the intimate connection is lost, it seems as though every little thing compacts together to form a wall between dh and I. <sigh>
word. took your advice last night and went ahead and *asked* to be taken care of. wow, I didn't realize I was wound up so tight, but i am feeling WORLDS better today.

It is a struggle for me too. Some days I think it is a cruel joke that we are past concern of unintended pregnancy but with that has gone so much of my sex drive. Dh is much younger than me and it is very hard on us as a couple. When I was his age I was insatiable and of course he was happy to oblige, lol. I feel such immense guilt for my body's betrayal.
i'm enjoying my sex life post hyster too...i've kind of got the best of both worlds while my ovaries resettle in to a new normal...
Lots of things going on in your life...good things!
