Quote: I totally dig this and feel exactly the same way, except in my case, I have also suppressed my sexual feelings. I feel quite at peace and there is fun, affection, and virtually no conflict in my life with my bf these days. And no sex.
Well, I guess I am just too HD at some root level to suppress my sexual feelings in any sort of healthy way. I hope you won't take offense at this but I've been having a thought about your situation. I remember that you once wrote about your concerns about finding another man at your age if you were to leave your boyfriend. To me this seems like an irrational concern unless your real concern is that you won't be able to find another man who is as sexually attractive to you as your Tom Selleck look-a-like boyfriend. So maybe you are stuck in a rut between your own sexual preferences and your boyfriend's low sex drive. Of course, this theory of mine doesn't take into account anything like your obvious affection for your boyfriend and therefore is quite limited.
