(Thanks for your kind words, GGB. )

It never ceases to amaze me how whenever a new person comes on board and I read their story, I identify with virtually every single word. I was just nodding and sighing all through this one. The high level of sex in the beginning, but all initiatied by her... the gradual slowdown, the surprise on his part that it has been so long, the assurance that he would improve, followed by no action... even the little giggle... <sigh>

ME, GGB is right. You've come to the place where you will no longer feel like a freak or an oddball. When I first discovered this site, I finally felt at home. I had posted about this problem on other relationship boards, but got the typical responses on how to make my bf more sexually interested in me... dress up, seduce him, blah, blah, blah. That stuff just doesn't work with every guy (or the reverse with every woman).

Start a thread of your own below this introductory thread, and many will "listen" and respond with great compassion and wisdom.

Your post is exceptionally articulate and well written... and is it my imagination, or is this board populated with many smart, articulate people who also know grammar and have good vocabularies? (Not to mention some really great wits and punsters!) I don't find this level of writing on the other boards that I read. (Okay, so I'm a snob... so sue me! )

Welcome home, ME, but sorry you have need to be here.
