I f’d up. I was thinking more in terms of skeletons. You are right though.

Sex robots are flying off the shelves....or so I understand. Blow up dolls are so 20th century. Must be a reason.

“Divorced, 50+ guys have a sexual buffet available nowadays with these gals”

Just exactly where are you located?

“So where is everyone deriding women buying multiple dildos and vibrators, for multiple decades. They are so callous they just use one part of a guy”

Why I thought they loved us for our mind.

Anywhere there are Target stores, casinos with a hotel (a safe, guarded getaway), Hobby Lobbys, dance bars, Home Goods. Just give them a big smile and a nice “Hi!”

“Marriage about more than sex.”

Yep. And life is about more than food.

And then get hit with a purse, called a masher and be lucky you dont get the cops called on you.

In my particular case, she had a hysterectomy and sex slowly faded. After a very long delay, I broke down and begged and her response was, “Sorry, but I have no further interest in sex, none.” And that was the end of it.

I’m too honorable (or loyal, or religious, or stupid) to cheat, so I haven’t. But after 15 years without, I’m seriously questioning my own beliefs and asking myself why I got married at all. I’m questioning the basic tenets of marriage, such as partnership and sharing and sacrifice. You mean she can’t give me 15 minutes a year? No birthday presents, no anniversary bliss, no surprise when we take a trip somewhere?

It hurts. It really does.

Me thinks a lot of us are in same boat. In my case, on her part lets just say age takes a toll.

Actually, the older we got the more important the little things became.
The last few years we never passed one another without a gentle touch.

Unfortunately my darling passed away in April of last year. It is the gentle touches and loving looks I miss most of all.

I am sorry for your loss. Touches are so important, people forget to reach out in simple ways.

Not all of those in the “same boat” are male.

The impossible task is for those in the “same boat” to find one another. I suppose it would be gauche to wear identifying neck tags when out and about.
