I cannot find it now, but someone was talking of a lack of interest in sex by your partner. I believe that if you satisfy your partner, they will usually want sex. My late wife and I had 53 years of marriage and I was always able to satisfy her. I recently met a man on here who no longer had sex with his wife, because she had had double mastectomy. So, I told him what to do and they are having sex again. Usually if you will meet their needs first, they will want to have sex.
I sent a response earlier but my connection dropped out, doesn't look to have saved & sent. This site can be bloody frustrating. Anyway, I had limited understanding of lots of information about this topic, thank you to all for explaining & sharing their experiences.
My late wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November 2019, just after she turned 56, for the next 15 months she was alive no sex and I did not care, she needed to be looked after. Prior to that it had been a couple of months, she was going through menopause and had not been interested for a couple of years. I don't recall having a PSA test at all at that time so have no idea of the number.
In the year after she died, I had some blood tests and my PSA was higher than the normal level but was nothing to be worried about the DR said. They gave no advice about masturbation helping or edging or anything like that, just something to keep an eye on. I had a mad fling with a woman who was after sex a little while after that, she was very keen for it and so was I so I'm guessing that dropped my PSA to normal. The fling was a fling, lasted a couple of month, went longer than it should but was never going to last, I had no feelings for her.
A little while after I met someone else, she had lost her husband to cancer before I lost my wife and ironically those two knew each other (the two who had died) but Nicky & I had never met. We had a lunch catch up to talk around 2 years after my wife and we gradually met more often, we just clicked. It was a little while till we had sex but it has been great since then. She too is now in menopause but still enjoys sex, albeit less often. So the advice of others will be put to good use, thank you for all for sharing their experiences.
