MDJunction to me

candjdog"MDJ is a second home to me. It is a place where I find unconditional support, where I never have to explain myself, and where I have the opportunity to use my experience to help others. It¹s a warm, caring place.
I feel so vulnerable in the world without others who understand me, but MDJ offers a safe haven for me. It inspires me to be a better person, a healthier person. Thank you MDJ (candjdog)

Cornbread I am glad that you have been able to overcome this issue. I do get my husband to do a massage first because it is very relaxing but of course, then I am so tired. It is certainly something that is challenging but you have to overcome it or at least adapt in order to make your relationship work. I do tell my husband that I love him so much for working with me and not going and get it somewhere else.

so you are doing the right thing! I know it's hard... no pun intended... but this is one thing I hate to see anyone give up on. It's important for a couple to have that intimacy, and sounds like you're doing the right thing by talking!

"The Mystery of Pain" -Emily Dickinson-
Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.

It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.

I also find that if I just go ahead and do it, that after a couple of minutes I start to get into it.

Hey.. Sex in a hot tub is even better lol!!
Rather then being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them..

Me a doctor? No way! everything I say is based on my experience only, please don't take my opinions as medical advice.

okay ladies, listening to you makes me forget the questionW00t And my husband just left for work

Blush

I don't have the dryness problem, but I do have the problem with the fatigue, I mean how do you want anything when you are so tired.

I to have a very understanding husband. Does the relaxtion things help with the desire part? I mean will my mind get more into if I kick start my body first?

btw I seen this and thought that is how I feel sometimes.Grin fy164
