OK, wild libido swings ... a series of unsuitable crushes, and now, after 42 years of comfortable hetrosexual orientation, suddenly I've now got a crush on another woman! (Not that I have a problem with that per se, it's just that with a 42 year track record, I don't think it's for real, I think it's something really gone awry with my hormones).
Hand me some grips, share your stories of perimenopausal madness to cheer me up, and generally reassure me that this too shall pass.
