Rare for Ari and I these days. We often go months at a time, even a year or more. Mostly it's the mechanics of old age that get in the way, but there are other issues too - related to the effects of ADD. In my view, consciousness (the state of heart and mind during the acts of love) is what makes the difference.
Just when I think it's all over and will never happen again, it happens. This time it was after Ari had returned from a fortnight away visiting old friends in Sydney. Does absence make the heart...?
This morning we spooned in bed for an hour. That felt wonderful.
Though I think Element was referring to socks I do appreciate your very honest answer. Especially as we are about the same age. My husband and I are best friends which after the first five of so years stopped translating regularly into sexual activity. Once I knew exactly what to do to arouse his interest. Now I really no longer do because there seems to be less interest there. I have tried different things for us and they have had their effect but eventually it seemed I am really the one interested and he would rather be problem solving and accomplishing things business-wise at work. He is very conscientious, I guess too much so, and though I have told him he need not be as much still he holds back from me I know unless he feels he will be up for going the distance with me. In other words though we are certainly not "all over" I am more work for him now than the joy I seemed to once have been. Or perhaps I should say the work was once a joy for him whereas now it seldom is. I recently turned 62, my husband is two and a half years younger.
