Do I continue. I am so unsure of what is right and proper. However, I am a young carer, with a young sufferer, but whereas sex has finished for Lionel (he has diabetis as well, which also inhibites sexual activity), I would hate to think that this side of life is finished for me.
Should I continue with this posting, I am not sure of the ettique. But life does not stop. I have posted many times about the loss of the life I once had with Lionel. Familiar story to many of you. One can cuddle and caress the sufferer, but it is no compensation for the loss of an active partner.
I can just see the raised eyebrows out there, but it is part of everyday life. I raised this subject once, about two years ago, and quoted to Lionel what the carer's manual said " masturbation is in order, and is preferable to taking a lover", his reply was "why do you need too". Simple in his terms. Dont' get me wrong, I love this man, but feel there are many aspects of my need that are not being met. Sorry, if this post is offensive to anybody, Connie
