Most couples hit this stage long before retirment. I know many men in their 40s that don't crave it at all. Most marriages finish that hot romance stage after only a few months of being married.
That is why marriages should not be based on sex. It does not last at all. Its the partnership and love only that keep marriages going.
Go buy yourself a toy or use your hands. If you start to ask her for it though you will only cause bitterness on her end.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
