For the best

I think that sexuality is no longer part of my life.  After a lifetime of exposure to explicit media and masturbation, the feeling has faded drastically.  I no longer feel any such libido in real life.  I see this as a good thing, my mind is free to pursue other more important things, and I'm too out of touch and unattractive anyway, but no hard feelings there.

  • It's great isn't it, like having an extension to your head! Menopause did away with my libido and I'm so glad it's gone, it caused me so much trouble, there when I didn't want it and not there when I did. I now realise just how much energy and attention libido takes up, I look at people differently now, my first thoughts aren't on whether I want to have sex with them or not. I look back on my years of having a libido as a kind of maddness, like I had this thing taking over my body and brain and controlling it.

    I don't care if I'm attractive or not, I'm at the age where I'm invisible enough to rarely get shouted comments at in the street so I'm well happy, life spent being invisiable to most men is such a relief, on the whole I feel so much safer.

    I think there's to much pressure to be sexual and to have sex when you have no interest, if you have no interest and nobody to do it with, then what do you need it for?
