A female reader, anonymous, writes (11 November 2007):

Hi

I had the same problem in my relationship (i'm gay too).

I tried the romantic tact amoungst many other things and was turned down on many many occasions, which knocked my ego and made me self counsious. We have been together 9 nearly ten years now and we talk our problems through and without sounding condecending this is what you must do. Tell her how you feel she may feel that it is too late to do anything about it or she may feel that her confidence has been knocked. My partner was secretly devestated that she lost her sex drive and it was only through talking to each other about how we felt that i found out she was really upset about it and felt like a failure, she was also scared that i would leave her because of it. She eventually went to see her doctor who discovered that she had a hormonal imbalance + she was going through an early menopause. Although we do occasionally have sex now it's still nowhere near the amount we used to enjoy. Try starting with cuddles and kisses these can give you alot of pleasure but let her know it will not lead to sex and take it from there. Anyway i just though i'd let you know your not on your own, take time to really talk it through, and dont let awkwardness and shyness get in the way both of you need to be 100% honest to each other on where you think your relationship is going.

Best of luck
