Got a Problem with not Getting Laid?

I quoted this one because of how strongly I identify with these words--maybe not precisely, but pretty darn close. I did managed to get laid twice in the year 2004--twice in two weeks, in fact, with two differernt women--but other than that, I haven't had sex since my wife divorced me in 1990.

But I remember the joy of sex, and being appreciated for it by women who participated in it with me, especially the several girfriends I had before getting married, who were all highly sexually charged, and absolutely thrilling in bed.

My hang up, which would be different than that of the poster I quoted, is that I'm older now. I'm 53, and though I'm an excellent health and good shape for lots of exercise, I wouldn't think I'd exactly be a "catch" in a woman's eyes.

An older woman, maybe, I don't know. But that is the brunt of my insecurity. I talk very easily with women, even strangers, just as I do with men. But when it comes to overtures, propositions, and so forth--I just freeze.

So my celibacy, such as it is, runs in conflict with my desire.

 

drunken sex just doesnt do it for me
