I’m a 70-year-old man who enjoys sex and intimacy, but my wife, who is 65, feels she is too old for this. We sleep in the same bed but keep the pooch and pillows between us. Talking is useless and always becomes a blame thing. She has occasionally said “Well, go ahead,” as if that will work. At my age I require foreplay – which I enjoy giving as well as getting.
It’s been years since we’ve been intimate. For a while we would couple up on birthdays or new years, but then that stopped, too. We have both lost a lot of weight and things are sagging and wrinkly. I think part of the problem was, during intimacy, she would notice me finding a bump or wrinkle that she felt self-conscious about.
