It seems that my sex drive, presumed missing in action for about 9 years (if not longer) has finally returned!

Dh can't stop smiling. I'm feeling a bit shell-shocked as I had got used to the idea of 'putting up' with DH's advances for the rest of my life. Until presumably he got bored.

Sorry if that's TMI for you all but I wanted to share

I'm thinking of debriefing it to find out where it got to for so long!

Did the said SD just come back out of blue,or did you lure it back?

Out of the blue jumpingbeans. On the scale of things in my life that were bothering me, it was quite near the bottom. But I'm glad to see it again.

I have recently found my SD hidden in the loft. Unfortunately DP's has now gone AWOL - sod's law!!

jumpingbeans · 23/01/2008 13:08

I think mine is missing, presumed dead, to be honest I am not that bothered, mind you if it were to just turn up i might not recognise it any more.

In the loft? Was it all dusty and motheaten

Very, but I spent last weekend polishing it and now it is shiny and new and better than ever

BroccoliSpears · 23/01/2008 13:18

Are you sure it's yours Orm? Can you just check and see if you've not accidentally found mine? I put my name on it in tippex.

well done you! I honestly think that I would not be bothered if I never had sex again . Not 'cos I don't want dh but just 'cos I would rather sleep than do anything else. dh does get pissed off then rants and causes ill feeling but we get over it. We do have sex occasionally but it pisses me off it i see it getting beyond around 11pm! did it just come back . Odd!

I'm not keen on late night shenanigans either cruisemum. I need my sleep especially as DH is getting up for work at 5.30am atm.

Yes it just came back. I did wonder if it's because I've got a little fitter and a little slimmer but that's been an ongoing process for years now. Who knows??

hoxtonchick · 23/01/2008 14:50

GrinningSoul · 23/01/2008 14:52

Good point hoxtonchick! I did stop bfing (after nearly 11 years of bfing and/or pregnancy) a few months ago but since then I'd been ill and work had been stressing me out hugely... I wonder...

hoxtonchick · 23/01/2008 14:59

wow, that's a seriously impressive amount of time . i bet it's a hormonal bounce back!

TheMuppetMuggle · 23/01/2008 15:11

Well Done you, but i couldn't go without sex and neither could my DP we love it to much

cruisemum1 · 23/01/2008 18:41

mind you i am 42, dh is 52, we have a 10yo dd and a 16mo ds and have been together for 18 years. So it is not like we are in the heady early stages of a relationship. All rather boring really

cruisemum1 · 23/01/2008 18:41

having said that, I am a very young 42
