> Willow,
> Yeah, I think you're right. I wonder if Greg would agree. Greg?? I also agree about the physical attributes; to me it's always been more the person's character that creates the sense of sexual attraction. I guess (some) men are different that way. Once again, there's proof of the superiority of the feminine sex! :-)

I ask because I know that I'm not really attracted to my husband anymore, although physically he hasn't changed all that much in the last 20 yrs. I guess it's more about how I feel about him as a person. If that desire is gone, and the romance is gone, is it possible to get it back? To me, that's everything.

And then let the poor soul give me any praise, (thanks to effexor) I'll lap it up like a little puppy, friend for life.
