Hey Journey, good to hear from you. I too haven't been doing much posting, but I do drop in and lurk way too often (about once a week). I'm curious about the erotica from a woman's perspective. Much of the stuff I've read seems it would be offensive to MrsGGB rather than having the effect of amping her desire. What are some titles or authors I should look at for erotica that would be fit for someone who is still more than a little squeamish about sex?
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster here. MrsGGB is more or less willing most of the time (although she will do some avoidance things like putting it off as late as practical so that I am too tired or getting up as soon as she wakes up), but isn't finding any desire for LM. She recognizes the importance of LM to the marriage, but at the same time hasn't found her own desire except that one or two days a month when she is fertile. She's also not feeling motivated in any aspect of her life at the moment: she's gained weight so that she currently weighs more than she did while she was pregnant with S2. She bemoans the weight, and avoids activities where it will show at all (swimming is right out), but won't get serious about losing it either. I think she is depressed, but she won't seek help for that either. In a nutshell, this lack of enthusiasm has left my HD waning, and on top of it I seem to be suffering from a bit of ED, at least when she does get interested during her fertile time (hmm, maybe a fear of getting her preggo again? ...light goes on). S17 has been pushing all the buttons too, which is totally draining, especially to MrsGGB. He's in counselling now. I never new a teenage boy could be soooo high maintenance. I hope the rest aren't this way.
Sorry to hear that your Dad is back into the hospital. I hope he rallies right through it and is back to himself in a hurry.
