I can't believe so much time has passed since my first comment. The frequency of wanting sex has gone way down but it still occurs in spurts. I have realized that , because he doesn't remember, he honestly feels a lot of time has passed. I like your idea of the star although he would have to trust that the stars are valid. I did start writing a note or drawing a star on a calendar to back me up and it worked to a large degree. He is always astonished. And then he forgets so there is no built-up resentment or even sadness.
