@joyces What hormones? Your sharing does help! I feel like sometimes I live only with a brother not a husband. They only contact we have is lying in bed many evenings watching a TV program on his ipad together. I usually gently touch his face and chest, kiss his shoulder and that is enjoyable. He does not reciprocate at all. I know my body at 79 is a little flabbier than when I was young, but I am not more than 8 lb. overweight and keep myself as attractive as I can. But I have had 11 babies (grown of course) so can't expect a youthful body. I have authored an accredited foreign language course so am busy with that little business too. Caregiving has been lots of work, not too bad, except that the last few weeks I have been in great pain (surgery, infection, then a fall when I forgot what condition I'm in when I decided to jog a little). He still doesn't know how to make a woman feel loved. I am sometimes irritable when I hurt a lot and he just closes a door and "hides" or watches television a lot. .Our children live all over the country and with the pandemic, we don't see them now. Sorry to complain, only I feel that you all know what it is like. Do any of you have physical desires met? Is it just "over" at some time?
