> ... my problem is that I CAN function (stay tuned for News at 11, however) - I just don't care anymore! I'm not sure Viagra is going to help with the desire-thing that I'm missing - at least not in a long-term way.
Geez, Judy, just when I was set to mail you mine. ;^)
Lack of "appetite" is the same problem with me. I kept saying "no" to Viagra because of exactly this point and my concern that if it failed to help, that would just make matters worse. Finally, my girlfriend was so pushy about it I caved in.
Big mistake.
My suspicions were right. The body was willing, some sort of instinctual drive was revved up, but my emotions were completely flat and detached ... for me, it made sex pretty horrific. Now, my "headaches" are twice as bad as before -- instead of having no desire, I have a strong desire to avoid it.
So, I've been giving considerable thought to the contemplative life lately....
