Chrisann, Go to the forums at the top of the page at plenty offish. There are a lot of categories to participate in. I do more reading than posting.

You could go into the ask a guy section and tell them about your 'friend" all the guys will give their opinion on whether they think deep down he want to be more than friends. The sex and sexuality forum is also good reading.

okay I just got home from going to the larger city. BF wanted to go and see his son. I suggested a stop at one of those stores that sell the toys. BF ended up in the car and said that place made him very uncomfortable. I have to admit, I felt lost in there. Finally a nice young woman came over to help. I ended up spending money on something that does not work.

This whole situation is so annoying. I am glad I will see the gyn doctor on Thurs. I am going to ask for testosterone cream. I have heard that is what women in my age group need to get that thing down there working again. She better not turn me down or I will probably bomb the office.

I hate to say this, Denise, but all the stress of the UTIs, yeastie beasties and difficulties in achieving full satisfaction are probably combining right now to make it even more difficult for you. For many women, achieving orgasm seems to be far more about their headspace than the physical sensations. I know I can't even get myself off unless I put myself into the right frame of mind and no amount of toys, vibrations, lube or trying will make a difference if I don't let myself relax and get into that headspace. I could rub myself sore without getting anywhere.

I suspect that this is where you are right now - subconsciously tensing up on each attempt, wondering "will I get there this time". This is the female equivalent of erectile dysfunction and the more anxious about it that we get, the worse it is going to be. My suggestion would be to STOP TRYING! Accept that, for the moment, orgasm isn't always going to happen. Don't push for it, or work for it. Concentrate instead on the simple giving and receiving of pleasure for its own sake. There's a lot of pleasure to be had in sex, without actually cumming. You may find that once the pressure to "perform" is off, it sneaks up on you anyway, and if it doesn't, at least you'll have had a lot of pleasure along the way, instead of anxiety and frustration.

I would have went in with you D :lol:.I also suggest a different approach, there are plenty of DVDs out there that specialize in tantric sex, if you haven't heard of it, it falls into more of the spiritual side of sexuality. How to focus your mind, tune your body in with your mind and really explore a different kind of enjoyment. Kind of along with what Fanny is talking about where it isn't so much about the O as the journey getting there. You will also explore a deeper relationship with your partner and through a united connection you both receive pleasure. Some of them look a bit like tree huggers, but give em a chance. I have even seen seminars out in beautiful places with other couples, I would go in a heartbeat, but they usually are expensive.Just google tantric sex. :cursing:

Hey Ladies,

I have truly enjoyed reading through all the posts in this forum - y'all are a hoot and a half, and I've learned a lot!

Glad to know I won't have to give up oral loving when I get my band - I love doing it, my hubby is a world-champion at it, and we have no problem kissing each other when we're done. :cool2:

He's been with me through a lot - and we've been through a lot together...his kinky side recently got him in trouble with me, but we're working through his *ahem* online activities and things are getting better by the day...we spend a very interesting weekend just recently - DD was out of the house for a retreat, so we got a preview of what life will be like when she goes away to college. Let's just say we found out we like whipped cream on each other!:mellow:

Thanks for being so willing to discuss such *interesting* topics - I love all y'all for being here and being so open. If you need new ideas on how to explore the more powerful, grown-up side of you, I found a great site at www.dominantdiva.com. Check out the e-book entitled "How to be a Dominant Diva". Nothing too out-there, but very interesting reading. Used two of the scenarios this weekend and had a WONDERFUL time!

Lemme know if there's anything I can do to help anyone else out...:embaressed_smile:

Ebony Rose, thanks for the encouragement and I will check out that site. We have had a blast with this section of the site, glad you are a part of it.

I see in your signature your seminar wasn't very positive, neither was mine, I wound up reading all the info they gave me and found this site, among others that I did research on the band. I can say now it was the best thing I ever did.

Now on the oral part, I can deep throat better now than before the band. Had one unfortunate incident when we ate too close to deep throating and I pb'd all over him. Needless to say, that was the end of eating before the playing.

Alas, now my situation has changed, and I can merely think of the fun I was having after my band was done when it came to the bedroom....

Good luck with your journey, its going to be great!

I would hate to have to go back and read all 28 pages. It's been really nice to have people to discuss these things with and not have to talk about it and be embarrassed. I have a couple of close friends I could talk about this stuff with, but they are no longer having sex because of menopause and husbands with ED. It's sad really. Just because I am almost 56, does not mean I want to feel like an old lady. My bf who is going to be 57 soon has the sex drive of a teenager.

Sweetie, despite what the pornos tell men, there isn't really that much that comes out.... so, if you are worried, hold off drinking or eating anything for an hour or so and you will be fine... I feel certain.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
