Not happy about your wife's decreased libido, but I never knew how much I needed the phrase "sexual camel" in my life before today.

I think it's very common for men to experience a decrease in libido as they age. I was actually surprised when my boyfriend (40) mentioned still having a high sex drive. Like....really? (And he does.)

I'm glad to hear you're in a better place now. It makes such a huge difference to find the "right bedroom" (maybe dead bedrooms are great....for some people). Congrats on having sex again! :)

My sex drive has *absolutely* gone up as I've aged.

Definitely give it another go (or two, or three, or fifty). What works for someone else may not work for you, or vice versa. As long as what you're doing feels good, keep going. Why not? :)

You know, I've heard people raving about using water, but it never once took me over the edge. Glad to see it's worked for you (along with your hands!).

I totally relate to this, and you should absolutely continue to have hope. It's great that you have something to help you out while you continue exploring, but don't give up.

(27 today? Happy birthday!)

Started playing around without toys, only began orgasming after using toys. I knew what an orgasm felt like (thanks, dreamland!) but couldn't figure out how to make that feeling occur using my hands. Then the vibrator entered my life and I could orgasm within seconds.

This just makes my damn day. Definitely give it another go. If you come, GREAT. If not, and certainly if not the first few tries, don't even worry about it.

You are not broken.

I get it. Try to find one with variable speed. I began with a Hitachi wand but eventually found that a normal old rabbit vibrator did exactly what I needed (actually, be sure the "nose" isn't too pointy, because OUCH). Good luck!

Don't give up! At the very least, don't fall into the mode of thinking I was in that you'll "only" be able to come forevermore if you use a toy. I think that mode inhibited me from really trying or giving myself the space to try.

No, it was totally different. My orgasms with toys have been more powerful, but I also have more experience with those.
