Well friends, I just have to get a word in here <G> It's about time that we were able to discuss this important area of life without snickers and winks- as the amazing and beautiful thing it is. I have appreciated all the posts to that effect, from Henry on, and agree that it is too often "closeted", while folks wonder, worry, and speculate and are afraid to bring it up...Like one woman who wrote several days ago, it takes a lot to shock me, old counselor that I am :-) I would just like to add that we should remember there are times when the bounds of human sexuality are stretched, and include many other ways of expressing loving intimacy besides intercourse. This is true for some folks who don't even have PD, of course--so lets honor all the ways we can express our tender feelings with our partners, rejoicing in whatever may be available to us at a particular life stage, while not overlooking the special joy of what has come to be called "the sex act"--surely sex can be BOTH"in the head " and "lower down",(to modify the joke),for most of us at different times and stages. It would be too bad if any of us--females as well as males--felt diminished and unworthy because of the limitations we experience. Couples who are having problems(at any age/stage) may find help from a reputable sex ther- apist, and learn how to"make the most of what they've got" . Even a hug from a "qualified hugger" can make your day! Camilla Flintermann,CG for Peter 78/7. Ohio
