Not Dead Yet

For several years, men of A Certain Age have had access to chemical assistance to help them in their amorous dealings.

For several years, I have periodically mentioned to my physician that I had no amorous inclinations, something my husband found quite irritating. It's gotten to the point that it's rather irritating to me, also. There is no physical reason for my enjoyment of this activity (yes, sex – what did you think I was talking about?) to be so … limited.

So, where are the little blue pills, or little pink pills, or anything that might help me enjoy myself? So far as I can figure out, there's no such thing.

Why not?

Is it because men rule the world and women (and their lack of enjoyment of such pleasures) are unimportant? There are feminists who insist this is the case. I've tried to work my way past that type of thinking, that type of conspiracy belief, but in the back of my mind…

Is it because female biology is so much more complex than male biology? Yeah, right. Tell me another.

Whatever the reason, I want it fixed. I want to feel the same level of passion my husband is still capable of. Why should men have all the fun?

PS. This is NOT an invitation to tell me of your family recipe to 'cure' this problem, or the latest 'study' on what exercise or activity the couple should do. Believe me, the subject has been researched, instructions followed, and what didn't actually turn my stomach did absolutely no good. All men need is a little blue pill. It should be just as easy for women.
