Rosey palm and her 5 friends...

Why be limited to that? I find toys to be a great answer. Don't you people have toys? IMO it's a requirement, esp if you are a female. Men have it so much easier that way.

As for when I last had sex..Well, it depends on if you think of it as GOOD sex. Good sex? It could be going on 18 months now. Just sex? It was about a month ago. My husband got the "urge to merge" and then suggested that we have a routine of sex on Sundays. Kinda like mowing the lawn.

We did it and I really felt nothing at all. No desire, no passion. I just wanted to take get it over with. The man doesn't talk or do anything but go through the motions. I feel like he should at least leave me a few bucks on the nightstand afterwards.

I prefer the toys.
A week later he mentioned having sex "because it's Sunday and we need to schedule this or we won't do it at all"..and I begged off, which he found puzzling because I'm "always bugging him to have sex."

It's amazing that he just doesn't get it. IMO sex shouldn't be "scheduled" like a haircut and if you don't get any of the affection or passion that goes along with it then it's not worth the effort. Since my husband doesn't even care to put his arms around me or notice me when I'm walking around naked then I'd just as soon as hang out with B*O*B.

That's Battery Operated Boyfriend.

I'm not physically/legally divorced but I'm pretty much emotionally there. I used to feel anger and frustration over my lack of a sex life. Now I prefer it. I don't have any real desire to find someone else. I've never been one to sleep around for the sake of doing things. Yes, I miss snuggling and hugging but I have find someone I want to do that with and I haven't met that person. Don't know when I will and frankly, I'm not worrying about it. I'm too busy doing other stuff.

Well, Rosey is helps BOB do his job. BOB also has helpers to finish the job properly.

One can never have too many toys.

Not bad here at all: only one day longer than yesterday!

So after more than a year, and with potentially contentious proceedings looming ahead, exactly where do I sign up for a Monk's license?

The most popular men's toy looks like something you'd find in the garage. I don't have one - but I coud just imagine my daughter somehow accidentally taking it to summer camp...

Men need better (and more affordable) options.

I continue to extend my celibacy streak. Every day - a new record.

I want one of those robots the Japanese make.
With a few additional attachments, for my freaky days.
they HAVE to be better than the standard 29.99 blowup doll, which by the way are so unbelievable in their spread eagle position with a plastic hole in the face. I swear, who painted that thing, the elephants in India? Mmmmm... convincing.. And who wants a blowup doll that looks like its suspended in mid-fall from a high rise building? Who "posed" for that???
What happens when they leak? Fold over and fck the bubble?

And the feet on those things. does nothing for the fetishist, being a semi-flesh colored tube having some shape of a heel but no toes,, just a bunched up edge of wrinkly balloon material. No vision at all was put into those things. and well, for the "animated" user its fails to deliver. I dont want to feel like I am making balloon animals just to get some friction going.

So I resign myself to fantasy and whats available in my genre of internet provisions. Men are visual by the way.

Sorry for your frustration, Shoo, but I'm having another sh!tty day, and that just made me laugh. You need to write a customer review for one of those on one of the websites that sell them.

Shoe dating is not a commitment, not even a dress rehearsal. It is what two people decide it is.

It a way to meet people and get to know what kind of person is compatible. I think it is a bad idea to committ to the first person you date. Keep you options open. As long as you are honest with the person you date then you are ok.

Shoo I don't think you have ever revealed your humor before. That is so funny.

I like that attitude. Should and when I date again I'd see it as a nice way to spend time and have fun with someone I'm attracted to and who is attracted to me.

When you are ready, you will know. The fact that you know you aren't, is just fine. In fact it's better than not being ready and dating anyway. I will never understand why people do that.

I know someone who got divorced just months before I did and is already remarried and just had a baby last week. All of that happened 1.5 year after his divorce.

Things like that seem crazy to me.
I can't believe how fast that someone can move on so easily. Maybe their heart wasn't fully into their last relationship? Or maybe they are just in a hurry to be with someone. Or maybe the green grass is turning brown on their side of the fence, so they are looking for greener pastures. Who knows?

Went to get a massage today, but just asked the woman to "hold me" instead...

Probably should have asked BEFORE I'd stripped down to my undies.
