eo, I'd like to be able to say that I'm drawing inspiration from your success but in reality your happy situation is throwing my own sadness into sharp focus. You strike me as someone who is essentially a sexual person who just let her eye drift off the ball whereas my dear W has never been the slightest bit sexual. Sure, in the first few months she was willing enough but once she was confident that she had secured me as a life partner that was the end of it. There is no historically sexual state for us to "return" to so we are going to have to learn everything from scratch - and we're old dogs - and this is a new trick. Further more, whereas I'm panting and my tongue is hanging out she is whining and cowering in the corner. SD
