DGA,

First of all, glad to hear the good news about last night. I know from personal experience that sometimes a battle about lack of sex can leave both of us so fragile that we don't even want to do it, which only makes things worse. So I'm glad both of you were able to get over that hump.

No, I don't masturbate.


It's not clear from your reply if you never have, don't know how, have mental or emotional prohibitions against it, don't like doing it because it does nothing pleasurable for you or if you just don't currently do it because you don't think of it. I would recommend that if you have no mental/emotional prohibitions against doing so that you start practicing it. There are good books on the subject - sorry I don't have one off-hand to recommend. Get a good quality electric vibrator too and see if that would be helpful. It may help you learn more about yourself and may help "jumpstart your motor". You may even find that if you make a date with your H that it would help for you to get a "headstart" on your own first.

Also, I agree with those who recommend that you speak to your physician or shrink about an anti-depressant without the libido suppressing qualities of Prozac. It seems to me that it was a major error bordering on incomptence for the MC not to have unearthed that fact and not to have suggested that you try a different med.

Also it sounds as though MrDGA needs to learn something about foreplay. Though I guess I can also understand someone who is HD and has gone without for 6-8 weeks feeling somewhat impatient.

Good luck,
Doglover
