I am in my sixties, and my wife and I have been married for over forty years. We genuinely love our life together and deeply cherish our marriage. Like all married couples know, however, marriage comes with its challenges.

It took us many years to understand that my beautiful bride has struggled with something called intimacy anorexia. This became part of her life after a traumatic experience when she was fifteen, when she was sexually assaulted by an older man. Over time, I have learned that when we are willing to face and embrace the pain in life, it can ultimately make us stronger.

Because of this trauma, intimacy can still be difficult for my wife at times. That reality requires me to be far more intentional in how I care for, support, and love the woman of my life. I am committed to remaining faithful and honoring both her healing journey and our marriage.

We continue to work on our emotional and physical intimacy together, and encouragingly, it continues to grow and improve with time. I enjoy writing, even though I don’t consider myself a great writer, and on occasion I will share my writing with my wife. I am very new here, but perhaps someday I will post something of my own once I learn how everything works.

I am here to have my sexual passion and desires titillated, kept alive and active. I understand there is something called cyber-sex, although I have never tried it, I think it is safe to say I am not interested.

If you are able to read between the lines, being married to someone with IA, my sexual life is pretty vanilla. I enjoy reading the romance and love stories the most. I have also enjoyed the voyeur, seduction, and first time stores. That is crazy as I get.
