It's possible. Sad, but possible.

You may also be depressed...it would be quite understandable.

But people all have different "levels" of desire. Hate to say it, but maybe yours was low all along? Funny if that should be a benefit now...

My 2 cents is that you still have sexual desires. They are just dead right now. Believe me they will wake up if the right man just pass by you and you smell his cologne, or you see a handsome man in a nice suit and he gives you a compliment or just a smile. Yes, after awhile masturbating gets old. I was in a sexless marriage for 20 years and I thought that there was no hope for me. I had brought just about every sex toy and used them. It was fun and funny but I was laughing alone so that played out. Even though I am a strong woman I questioned my self esteem I started thinking that no one wanted me and I just existed in a marriage. I became depressed about it because I could not understand why my husband did not want me. There is all kinds of ways to have sex but he wanted nothing to do with it. I don't know why I stayed in my sexless marriage so long. When I did decide to get a divorce, I took a look at myself to see if I was contributing to my husband treating me this way and low and behold I was. Our sex life is better now but still needs work. I am a fun girl and I get a little to freaky for him. But we laugh a lot. I talk about it on my profile.

DawnKrom, 50 is the time of your life to have fun and do whatever you feel like doing to make yourself HAPPY!!

Oh, LOL, believe me my levels have always been high! But I guess that I have conditioned myself not to want it. :(

Not that I would recommend this to anyone, but I did have an extramarital affair. It ended years ago, but lasted about 4 years. The man got too serious about me, even though we had an understanding. the sex was great, at least for most of that time. He was absolutely insistent on pleasuring me in prolonged periods of foreplay. Not until he though I truly could not deal with any more did we finish the act. It was lovely. But toward the end of our time together it became almost ritualistic, and just a bit too different for my taste. Otherwise it was a great interlude. Maybe it is because I had that that I could then relinguish the need to have sex, I don't know. I mean I DO notice attractive men, and sometimes even women (no, I am not bi- just notice). But they don't get my juices flowing. So I guess maybe I am just all used up? I dunno.....

nope, it is not natural, we are sexual creatures and need this . Try to work it out for your own sake.

Not just possible, but your reality. If you are comfortably numb about it, maybe you need to accept it. If you are suffering though, maybe it's time to figure out what you can do about it. The hormonal roller coaster & the effects on our psyche, often dictate how we cope with our marriages and life in general.Falling is easy, getting back up becomes the problem..I can relate & wish you well....Marion

My marriage is just slowed down in the last three years or so sexual. My husband also has ED but makes up for it in other ways. But I don't mind if we don't have sex. To much work for too little gain! I love my husband very much but sex with him doesn't do much for me. I am also on meds that decrease my sex drive. I am not ready to give up sex but don't mind not having it with my husband.
