A couple who volunteered to give up sex

Our relationship began as a betrayal at the end of 30. It was not the first betrayal of any of us, but it was the last.

What began as a lustful thirst developed and deepened until we realized that we had found the love of life in each other. Within three years we were married that meant that we could make love whenever we wanted, day and night. We wanted to be moved by feelings and lust in the same amount.

And so it went on over the years. We even got caught in the middle of the act when we were 70 years old by someone who thought that we had abandoned these things. How wrong he was.

At the beginning of our 80 ' s, the fatigue of our bodies robbed her of her sex satisfaction. We had to wait until the lubricator was applied and the little blue berry worked. Then we felt more comfortable, and the sex became an uncomfortable, painful, and difficult experience.

The desire to forgive each other pleasure was replaced by a desire not to cause pain.

We felt that we lost someone when we decided to end our sexual life. Today, we look back, and we recall with appreciation how beautiful, meaningful, and thrilling, our unity.
