I couldn't agree more wharf. Why is it that we have to choose between sexual fulfillment and mental well-being? Life can be a bitch.

About 2 weeks ago I stopped being able to orgasm at all, which puts a strain between my husband and I. I see my doc tomorrow we are planning to discuss adding an additional medication to alleviate this unwanted side effect. I will let you know what she prescribes and how well it works.

As far as your wife having a low libido, I definitely think most men (NOT on antidepressants) think about sex continually. It's in your nature and we women need to accept that. I personally enjoy (or used to anyway) the hell out of sex, but my husband did quite a bit of work to ensure that. I find that men typically like frequent, quick gratification, but that women like the whole drawn out process of being made to feel like absolutely, positively THE most special and beautiful woman on the face of the earth. Most men just don't have the patience for this every time (my hubby is the exception). As a result, most women don't get off during "quickies" so therefore we have come to associate them as merely "servicing his account" rather than the meaningful communication more intimate sex provides. Do you agree?
