Cobra, I'm still not following, not trying to be obtuse. The first part of your post was an excellent (really top notch) description of how low level depression and/or stress can wreck a man's sex drive. This has opened my eyes as to what H may be feeling. Fascinating!
But then you go back to Schlessinger's ideas, which have not yielded fruit in my marriage. I will continue to do it, simply because it's the right thing to do but there aint any mountains moving in my neck of the woods.
Are you saying that I need to lay off on the talking about emotion?
