Married man misses intimacy…and all that comes with it.

HL Seeking Advice

I'm a 53-year-old HLM married to a 53-year-old LLF. When we had sex, it was always vanilla at best. She was a virgin at marriage, and I was not so much.

We haven't had sex in years, we barely touch anymore, and a kiss is a peck at best.

I miss feeling wanted and desired, and although I keep trying to show her how much I want her, it's brushed aside. Exignored her disregarded day, I kept moving my hand up her thigh and as I got closer to her vagina my hand was stopped and moved.

I miss between us the ass pats, shoulder rubs, unasked for kisses, and a simple hand hold. Any of those would get me aroused.

I feel dead inside and now find any sexual desires through Reddit subreddit, and occasionally porn.

I'm not going to divorce her. At this point, we have a good life, with an amazing family.

Life would be so much better feeling wanted and desired, and sharing that with someone again.
