@The Albatross said need wine to to open your eyes in the morning? Ack... I'd take a hard look at that one.
If you need some wine,beer, vodka, weed a piil of whatever to get down, you need to look at that.
It is not only your responsibility. That we as women will numb ourselves to allow our bodies to participate in one of life's gifts makes me so f*cking angry. Not at men, but at society in general. That guilt and pressure to be pleasing. That desire to be pleased. Really f*cks with us as women who have been sexually abused. That we feel responsible not only for making sure our partner is pleased but question what is wrong with us when we don't melt with the fire and blame ourselves for that too.
I'm 57 widowed and speaking for myself, I am glad I can keep well stocked in batteries. If I want to I do, if I think I want to and realize this just ain't gonna happen, I can stop. No apologizes, no guilt, maybe a little disappointment but it is what it is.
I have heard they are out there but how many men are willing to put their willies ego aside and bring a little assistance to the situation? How many women would be comfortable suggesting it, let alone be too embarrassed to let their hubbies, even if they were willing, to do it? Sex is not something we "should do" because if we don't somehow we are failures as women. It's something that should be shared, without guilt, shame or a substance to get through it. But a little electronic buzz, to help things along is perfectly acceptable. One more thing... Sex should be FUN! I never spoke up when I should have, I was too embarrassed and ashamed. You can be sure if I ever have another sexual partner, he's gonna know, I need some assistance, if he can't dig it, then I'll say my 2nd favorite four letter word NEXT! Just an old ladies opinion.
