Mmm. That’s just weird. You weren’t in a manic phase when you had a high “sex drive,” and, now, you’ve shed your libido for... what?

Listen: every human needs touch. If you have had a history of being a normal, sexual human, you know that genitals need to feel touch occasionally.

I read a wonderful book - What Dying People Want - and “touch” was #1 on the list. Naturally, the dying (usually catheterized) don’t always want genital stimulation - but I know of some who have.

My hope is that you will not forego touch. Not at 50, not at 80. My need for sex is latent during the week but comes alive on weekends. I find it... delicious... that sex takes so much longer, now. Maybe you’ll become horny again with the right stimulus?
