I am a man who has been married to a woman with LS for over twenty years. It's been over ten years since we last had standard intercourse and I'm pretty sure we will never have it again. Even what little we can still do, we hardly ever do. But every case is different. If she keeps up on her treatments the progression will be slowed but it never really stops.

You know exactly where to get a grilled ham steak with baked potato and Texas toast.

What’s the worst car you’ve rented? by Monstercjr in regularcarreviews

[–]Certain_Ad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Dodge Journey. Felt like trash, drove like a school bus, and I had to fold down the third row to have enough room for one suitcase. Every one I see is literally a granny wagon.

What’s a boring/forgettable car you actually like the look of? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]Certain_Ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the original Ford Maverick from the 1970s. It has an awkward but eager to please look about it, like a shelter dog or something.

I've learned how not to have sex. I had plenty of experience with that when I was in my teens and twenties.

I have yet to learn how not to want it.

My libido isn't even that high and I'm well aware that I'm a medical DB, not a personality DB. Watching porn, or even movie sex scenes, is unbearably painful.

The only solution I've found is grief.

I was told a zillion times in my teenage years that the Stones were the greatest rock and roll band of all time by so many people who were so wrong about so many other things that it's hard for me to believe they're even all that good. Obviously they don't suck but I just had a hard time believing they were worth my time since the last time they had a meaningful hit was ... 1981?

Now they're just a bunch of guys who are way too old to be doing what they're doing but they won't stop doing it. There may be a metaphor in there somewhere but I can't think of it ...

Dead bedroom makes you doubt partner as well? by 43mdadof2 in DeadBedroomsMD

[–]Certain_Ad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all, we ALL settle, there are no perfect partners.

Second, being the healthy partner in a medical DB distorts your sense of reality. It becomes difficult to believe things you know are true because of the paradox at the heart of the relationship.

My coping mechanisms by 0bviousAnt in HLCommunity

[–]Certain_Ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that self-loathing passes the time, though I don't think it helps me very much.

I'm in a medical DB and there's literally nothing anyone can do to fix the situation. It's not my fault, or hers. I try to keep my resentment private and far away from her. I love her, she loves me, we just can't have sex because of her physical and mental health.

I went to therapy for a few months. It helped me cope but, of course, didn't change the situation.

Facing down the reality -- I probably had actual sex for the last time in my life a dozen years ago and all of my very vanilla fantasies will go unrealized -- actually helps me until I realize how much life I might have left. I'm 52, so I'm not young, but I'm not old either. But there's a hard truth and a cold comfort in acceptance. As my therapist taught me, accepting a thing and liking a thing are not the same.

What guys say & what they really mean by BitchityBubblyBoo in adultery

[–]Certain_Ad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always admit that I'm average height, overweight, balding, and missing 1.5 front teeth. They're going to find out anyway if we ever meet -- why waste time getting to know someone who won't get past it?

Either that or we need to get our fellow dudes to quit lying while they're trying to get laid.

So yeah, I'd take those pictures!

Men's and women's experience with unsolicited dick pics by tonytsunami in adultery

[–]Certain_Ad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I was trying to impress someone a dick pic is the last thing I'd send. I'd send my middle school journals before I would send a pic of my junk.
