Menopause
Hi Dr. Love! Thank you for providing this service.  They say fortune favors the brave, but sometimes even the strong need a lifting hand to get back in the saddle again.... I'm a 42-year-old female.  I've been in a relationship with a younger man, 13 years younger.  I never dated younger men and broke this rule because he was so mature and very different from any man I've ever met.  Our relationship has been perfect.  We have had open communication, honesty, love, fun, friendship... everything you would want in a relationship.  When we first got...

He's a Sex Addict
Jun 28, 2004
Menopause
My husband and I have been married a year and a half. We have been together for 5 years. he seems to feel that sex is the answer to everything. When I come home from work after working 12 hours he wants sex. If I'm depressed, he thinks sex can cure everything. He claims he is never too tired. He pouts when I tell him I'm not in the mood. He is 52 years old and often acts like a teenager where matters of sex are concerned. There was a time I would love to cuddle with him. But he always wants more. I am currently going through menopause and realize that my lack of sexual drive can be...

He Says You Didn't Tell Him Soon Enough

Menopause
Hi, Dr. Love. I find your answers so compassionate that I thought I'd ask you for some wisdom about a relationship problem I'm having. I am a 35-yr-old with a lot going for her. I've been divorced for a year and don't have a problem getting dates. Unfortunately, I am sterile (premature ovarian failure) and pregnancy is out of the question, barring some sort of miracle, although I'd love to adopt. I've hesitated to get involved with anyone. Recently, I thought I'd met the perfect guy: fun, charming, successful, handsome, etc. He just got divorced. Also, he happened to be adopted, and I thought...

Young Woman Who Bleeds After Intercourse
Mar 19, 2002
Menopause
Hi Dr. Love, I pray you answer my question because it's been bothering me for some time and I can't seem to find any answers. I'm twenty years old and living with my boyfriend. When we first had sex, it was MY first time. I bled, as I expected, I hear that's normal. But what isn't normal, is that I still bleed. Sometimes it's not very much, sometimes it's a big mess. It doesn't hurt at all during sex, but I feel so upset and embarrassed afterwards. My boyfriend is so sweet and sensitive about it, but I want it to stop. Please...can you help me?

Husband Who is Living on a 'Bread and Water' Sexual Diet
Oct 23, 2000
Menopause
Dr love, Please advise me on how to save my marriage. I've been married for nearly 3 yrs and we are both 51. My wife has been married twice before. Sex has been difficult from day 1, my wife says she was abused by her first husband. I have tried my best to understand her and love her very much. I cannot kiss her and put my tongue in her mouth, give or recieve oral sex, touch her intimately, or really let go as she prefers things to be over quickly. Sex has now become less than romantic and a ritual that takes place about every 2 or 3 weeks, and only on a sunday morning. I have always...

You Bleed After Each Act of Intercourse
Sep 13, 2000
Menopause
Dear Dr. Love, Hello, I am 24 years old and about 4'11' tall. My boyfriend is about 6'2' tall and I need to ask you a question about our sex life. His penis is about 71/2 inches long and quite thick. Every time we have sex, I begin to bleed excessively. I was wondering if it was because of our size differences or if it was something more serious. When he puts it inside me I usually don't start bleeding until he puts it all the way in. Please let me know if this is serious and if there are any ways to prevent me from bleeding. We have tried different positions but still no help. I love...

Crying, Grieving and Hopeless

Menopause
After listening to you on Women for Women I have gathered my last shreds of hope, attempted to cohesively organize them and mail this question to you.I will summarize as succintly as possible.I was sexually abused as a child. I have been celibate all my life. Four years ago at the age of 41 as the result of a medical trauma I recovered the memories of the abuse. During those next 5 to 6 months I could feel my body gradually lose sexual desire, the ability to lubricate and have an orgasm. Previously, I had none of these problems. In fact, my clitoris used to actually bubble.To this day my body...
