I too can relate to this post & I turned to Craigslist also. I was very fortunate in what I found there.
Yes there was a great sexual part of me that had been bursting at the seams to get out. Such terrible longing & want. I totally understand that feeling plus being an older female I also felt my clock ticking that this window of exploration Would close soon.
So I carefully made the plunge into exploring my sexual wants & needs. It's been a roller coaster ride, but I have to say I'm glad I took the plunge!
