I posted this to an old thread yesterday, before I figured out how these forums work. This gives a little more info about me and why I'm here. I just ordered some new toys for myself as an early "graduation" present--my funny term for menopause. I'm 49 and have been divorced for 8 years. Personal values include not having sex with another person unless I'm married to them, so I've been going solo since the divorce. One of my favorites is my adjustable shower massage. All of my previous sex toys died from use, so decided I'd try some new ones. I know that having regular orgasms helps my physical and mental well-being. Don't want to die without having had a more fulfilling sex life. I am being treated for depression, migraines, arthritis, and I have multiple sclerosis with extreme fatigue, occasional spasticity, and some incontinence. Masturbation helps with all of the above. I think more doctors should be talking about sexual health at annual physicals. One of the jokes I love about this: A divorced woman goes to her first annual physical since the divorce. The doc asks if she is sexually active, and she replies, "Do you mean with somebody?" LOL! I'm thankful for these forums, as I don't know if any of my friends would be open to this sort of discussion. "Well-behaved women seldom make history."
