> > I have a pretty great wife who is very understanding and up to this point in our life our sex life has only been interupted by ssri use. She has been exceptional through it all. We have an active normal intimate relationship and are both on the same wavelength there although I am sure as I head into my mid forties I will slow down and she may speed up, we have not gotten to that role reversal as of yet......I know it will come.
Maybe it's just the crowd I hang with, but I haven't seen women in their mid-forties becoming more randy. Even when I am off meds, that's not the case for me (course I'm depressed....still) Nor have I seen it with other women I know. My personal view is that Masters and Johnson were wrong about this.

I suspect they should be on my "to try" list, but I'm leary of them. Funny though, I'm on amphetamines now. I'm also leary of MAOs, though again I suspect part of this is ignorant fear.
> > I don't mean people are misleading in a bad way......just by accident...by thinking they know.
Isn't that the way of life? A persons position depends on where they sit?

I hope that means you have found something that works well for you:-)
