Cobra,
Absolutely we have intimacy issues but I don't think councelling will do anything unless it happens to be with David Scnarch. There was an article in the paper last week hypothesising that the boom in councelling in the UK is making us more miserable and not less. The woman who wrote it has had a lot of councelling and came to the conclusion that the Cs prompt you to drag out all the stuff you thought you'd left behind then give you next to no help in dealing with it.
The reason she has these problems is simple, she doesn't fancy me and never really has - I think I'm quite fancyable for a late fortysomething (judge for yourselves at www.hdenham.force9.co.uk/superdave.jpg) but she does not. She married me for a combination of reasons known best to herself but EC and sex were not in her list.
