you're right, that was TMI. I think this forum needs more MLAs. OTOH, why can't people write english here? IHTFP.

Anyway, I've now read the book...I was disappointed. It's all the same stuff as the other books. "Go see your doctor, go get a sex therapist, read this book, blah, blah, blah. The only exception sections was the Nike "just do it" philosophy. I had told her this myself for years. "If you like it once you do it, why not do it?" My wife isn't so much in agreement of that. She says she HAS tried to "let go" of herself. She has been "just doing it" every time we've "done it." And it doesn't get any better for her, so she just don't see the point.

So now what? I'm lost.

What's the way to relax a woman that cringes at the thought of soft touch. I can hold her. I can touch her (as long as I don't move).
