Congratulations, this is the first article I’ve started this morning that I finished. The others were just angry rants that, for some inexplicable reason, showed up on “[my] Daily Read.” Yes, OK OK, I hate Donald Trump too, but if you aren’t going to say anything new, or at least find a new way to say old stuff, why should I bother?

OK back to your subject, which is important. I appreciate your words. There are also some guys, like me for example, who, due to a combination of age and medication, simply don’t care about sex any more.* My wife is OK with it — when I explained it she worried that I wouldn’t want to cuddle any more either. Not so! That’s a totally different thing. I will always need to feel safe and loved.

Except when we were first dating and she wanted to fuck all the time, she was never so into it. When asked if she liked it she’d say, “I like the closeness.” OK so we still have that. I think of, who was it, Margaret Mead? who said you should marry three times; once for love, then for children, then for companionship. This is my second time around but I got the trifecta. I’ve tried more than once to write a whole article about all of this but it keeps falling apart.

* I’m serious. A supermodel could throw herself at me and it wouldn’t move me. Who woulda thunk it? I used to be so randy.
