So five years ago when my ex and I were talking about living together, one of the concerns he voiced was that I would be left sexually unsatisfied due to the difference in our ages.

I had a strong sex drive, and he was very energetic in bed, but I was 25 or 26, and he was 45 or 46, and he said that as I got closer to 30 and he got closer to 50, my interest would intensify while his ability declined, and that he was worried that I wouldn't be happy with him.

As it turned out later, this was far from the only barrier to the prospective relationship, but he encouraged me to take up with a younger man, a self-professed sex fiend, and move in with him. The ex lived far away, anyway, and said I needed someone who could be here and that he would have no objection to such a triangle.

Of course he did, when the new guy moved in.

The sex fiend has been on SSRIs for 10 or 15 years and is mostly impotent. Having renewed contact with the ex, I've had to turn down his tentative efforts to revive the sexual relationship between us, because he still wouldn't be able to handle the situation with the soi-disant sex-fiend and anyway I don't trust anything the ex says any more.

If I weren't neurotic already, this would do it. I want hormone-negating therapy and I don't care if it does make my tits sag.
