I know I've "lost it!", but three years ago, I became involved with a man, and was wild about him...At age 53 at the time, I attempted to become intimate, and couldn't. I had remained abstinant for three years prior to this experience, and it frightened me, since I'd never, ever, had such a problem.
This really IS about the effects of menopause and aging, I guess, but I was unaware that such a thing could happen. I had stopped taking the HRT a couple of years prior because of the health risks, and didn't realize it would affect me sexually as it did. I was simply unable to have intercourse!
I went to my OBGYN, really fearful that something bad was wrong, but he just said "Use it or lose it," in his Indian accent.
The relationship didn't last...him rejecting me, and really humiliating for me at my age, and bringing me here to PC for help. I've recovered from it, but haven't allowed myself to have a single sexual thought since then...Know I've really lost it....."use it or lose it!"
