I'd say the sex drive was pretty low in the first afair since it was emotional and non-physical in nature.
W says it has been a prblem for her in previous relationships.
Not so in the second. Laced with fantasy, supported mainly by telephone, with a single one night stand in a hotel. The guy was a Mr. Smooth who knew how to play her.
This string was started over two weeks of June/July that passed with almost no physical expression of affection at all. A Hug was hard to come by. The past three weeks have been.. Well... Surprisingly wealthy in every way. I'd like to get used to this.
Tomorrow the W will see an endocrinologist. Perhaps that will make an additional contribution.
