First a little history. I found this group about 2 years ago when my marriage was heading for divorce court because my husband was HD and a very sensual man but I was LD most of our marriage. We received extremely bad counseling about 15 years ago in which the psychologist told my husband that sex was not a need like food, water and air and that he could survive without sex. Well, I took that advice to heart and it nearly destroyed our marriage.
I found Michelle's book and this board about 2 years ago. Through some of the HD husbands' postings, I have come to understand my husband's point of view and have discovered my own sensuality. I am basically where Mrs. Nop is; I understand that touching and sex means love to my husband and I willingly open myself in this way to him. No way do I have the touching need that he does for various reasons but I understand it is important to him.
Anyway, what caused me to post is Mrs. Nop's post about finding a doctor to help her with her hormones and I can help! My daughter has been seeing a Dr. Elizabeth Vliet who is EXCELLANT!! She is based in Arizona but maintains a medical office for a week once a month in Dallas. Look her up on Amazon. She has written several books on women's hormones and her latest book, which I have purchased, is "The Savvy Woman's Guide to Testosterone: How to Revitalize Your Sexuality, Strength and Stamina". Mrs. Nop, she is fantastic! Women fly in from around the country to see her and she is very down to earth but highly educated.
She does have a website, which does seem to be down, www.herplace.com. Her main office's phone number in Arizona is (520) 797-9131. You can call this number to get more information about her.
I hope you do try to find out about Dr. Vliet. She is excellant and really understands about women's hormones.

Linda! Wanted to welcome you to the board and thank you for the info! I'll be looking into it further this week.
Okay, so how *did* you manage to read here for 2 years and not join in?
So, you know you can't just let that be the only one. Pull up a chair and join in!
