No apologies necessary, Bryony. At around the time we decided to embark on my body enhancement episode, my wife's body decided it was time to enter menopause. For her, and I suspect others as well, this entailed, among other things, a vastly decreased sex drive. Since I was concurrently entering a downhill slide in that respect myself, due to the use of generic Proscar, (actually called Fincar), we have attained a level of compatibility on the issue of sex that has actually been an exceptional and ongoing event. Is that ideal? For us, and this is not some bull---t bit of rhetoric, we have realized another level of love and commitment to each other that many couples may never, or only much later, achieve. I'd like to say it was by design, but cannot. When you remove what for some couples is an 800# gorilla in a relationship, you come to see that there are many more important aspects of a relationship. True love, conversation, understanding each other more. These are much more possible if part of ones' mind is not incessantly occupied with "wonder if we'll be having a little hoochy-kootchy tonight".
Would I recommend it to others? Probably not, as everyone is different, and all relationships are complex. Many of us here are at different stages of our lives, as well, with many more things to discover about ourselves. It can take some time to arrive at just how commited we are to a partner, versus our commitment to ourselves. Like it or not, things such as this are as important, or more so, than what items we are trying to decide to introduce into our bodies to enhance them. We need to make certain enhancments and adjustments to our minds, as well.
To all, enjoy life!! Patti
