"In August of last year, I reconnected with an old friend, James*. He was really more of an acquaintance. We ran in similar circles with our work and had a lot of mutual friends in common. We live in different states, so we started talking on the phone more frequently, asking each other for advice about work-related situations or brainstorming creative ideas for projects."
"My husband and I have been married for over 20 years, and the last eight have been a struggle. Specifically, he never wants sex - and I do not want to be in a sexless marriage. We've tried counseling, arguments, and reconciling. I have tried sex kits, scheduling sex, begging for sex... but if someone has a low or no sex drive, you can't force them to have sex with you."
"I spent years hiding it. I was so ashamed that my husband never wanted me, while all the other wives seemed to complain about their husbands not leaving them alone. When the person you are in love with and to whom you have committed "in sickness and in health" doesn't want you, what do you do? I bought myself sex toys and got myself off as much as I could, which seemed to be nearly every day. My sex drive was at an all-time high."
A woman reconnected with an old acquaintance, James*, and began frequent phone conversations about work and creative ideas while living in different states. Her marriage of over 20 years deteriorated, with the last eight years marked by her husband's lack of sexual interest. Attempts at counseling, arguments, reconciliation, sex kits, scheduled intimacy, and pleading all failed to restore a satisfying sexual relationship. Shame and isolation followed, leading her to self-pleasure and a heightened sex drive. She continued to love her husband, questioned leaving, and endured sleepless nights longing for affection and closeness.
