Sexless Marriage (when one partner is ill)

I'm in my late 60's. It's been about 7 years since we had intercourse. Unfortunately, intercourse is painful for my wife (thinning of the walls). She use to use vaginal dilators. However, we still snuggle and show affection. We have talked about our lack of sex. She knows I miss it. I am struggling to accept our sexless marriage. I wake up with an erection every morning. She is not interested in other sexual possibilities or satisfying me. I miss the passion and the powerful nature of it all. I need to find a professional for support.

@stanleyst yes you are right you both need to see a therapist. But is she not interested because she’s past menopause or another reason? My wife had same issues but we don’t need intercourse to have fun. Aside from seeing a therapist I recommend you pickup a book titles “She Comes First” written by a therapist. I’m a retired nurse and I’ve had an excellent education of the female body as a nurse and from learning about women from my fellow female nurses over the years. And the more knowledgeable you are of your wife’s sexual anatomy the better lover you’ll become. My wife and I are 73 and 72 and loving our second sexual life and I hope you can get there too.
