My wife has little interest in foreplay but I can’t get aroused without it

My GP has prescribed a low dose of Viagra but it isn’t enough for a satisfactory erection. How do we find a way forward? I am a man in my early 50s, with a wife in her 40s. After 20 years together, she won’t engage in anything more than the most basic foreplay, to the point that I am rarely sufficiently aroused for penetration, which she says she needs to reach orgasm. She recently told me that she is repelled by any kind of wetness on my part and will not touch my penis at the first sign of ejaculate, while oral sex is out of the question. It feels as if we are at an impasse, as I’m unable to get aroused enough for penetrative sex, although I still enjoy pleasuring her with my hands and orally. I have started using a low dose of Viagra, prescribed by my GP, but it is insufficient for a satisfactory erection, kills any spontaneity and has unpleasant side-effects that leave me with a hangover-like sensation in the morning. It isn’t a long-term solution to minimal foreplay. How can we find a way forward that will work for both of us? Your final question really needs to be addressed directly to your wife. Through discussion and experimentation, it will be necessary to find alternative, palatable methods of increasing your level of arousal. I wonder why she did not reveal her revulsion about penile fluid at some earlier point in your 20 years together? Perhaps she was ashamed about it, but it may be a genuine phobia, which would require treatment. Most men do need more direct genital stimulation as they age, and their partners often need to be educated about this, and reassured that the reason is nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, many partners of middle-aged men start believing they are no longer sufficiently attractive to inspire an instant erection. Not understanding that a man’s body only works that way in his youth, they have unrealistic expectations and, as a result, sometimes suffer from a loss of confidence that can lead to withdrawal from sex. Some couples’ style of foreplay is mutual self-pleasuring, which may be an option in your case. There is also a variety of toys that would be worth exploring together. Either way, it is imperative that, as partners, finding the way forward becomes a fully cooperative venture.

Why is dating app Feeld so popular? Fetishes and throuples are only part of the story | Zoe Williams

Established apps were taking attitudes to sex and love right back to the 1950s. Thank goodness for something less traditional Obviously if you are not on any dating apps, you shouldn’t have any opinions about them, and you definitely shouldn’t worry about other people’s opinions of them. But I have been hearing so much about Feeld that I can’t ignore it. People sometimes call Feeld the “throuples” dating app because of how it started: a tech entrepreneur couple, Dimo Trifonov and Ana Kirova, considering opening their relationship, had an idea for an app that they originally wanted to call 3nder. In fact, it’s not just for throuples, but anything remotely unconventional, dating-wise, from ethical non-monogamy to the most casual one-time-only hookup. Zoe Williams is a Guardian columnist Continue reading... http://dlvr.it/TD1t1Z

Do you dream of becoming one with your partner? The deep-sea anglerfish shows how badly that can end

In some fish species, couples lose all independence when they mate, even sharing one pair of eyes. Is that really something to aspire to? I have just discovered how the deep-sea anglerfish mates. My apologies if this is old ichthyological news to you, but it is new news to me, and it is very definitely going to be the hook for this week’s column. The female deep-sea anglerfish is very large compared with the male deep-sea anglerfish. In some species, he sniffs her out (using his giant nostrils) and upon finding his mate, he bites into her, his teeth and lips then dissolving into her flesh. His little fishy body dangling off hers like a limp appendage, he loses himself utterly, including the use of his eyes – what is the point of them, when he has hers? Some males “become little more than blobs or skin tags”, says James Maclaine, senior curator of fish at the Natural History Museum. The two fuse together so completely as to become one physiological entity, with one combined bloodstream, living one life and, eventually, dying one death. Continue reading... http://dlvr.it/TD176q

It’s so tempting for columnists to give a little too much away

Kathryn Flett, India Knight and other Observer columnists down the years have ushered in a new kind of honesty As an avid reader of newspaper columns, the ones I’ve always looked forward to are the ones where something has gone wrong. You read fascinated, horrified, about families crumbling, a little night illness, a dog’s slow death. We’ve been poring over old issues of the Observer Magazine as we celebrate its 60th anniversary and, over the years, we’ve had plenty of memorable columns, some of which were expanded into books, some used as examples in spitty debates about the state of journalism, many ushering in a new kind of honesty. On this page, Kathryn Flett wrote about her husband breaking up with her, only for the columnist who took over from her, India Knight, to write, a year later, “Stop me if this sounds at all familiar, but my husband is leaving me.” Even now, more than 20 years later, I read it with a hand over my mouth. For 50 weeks of the year, most columnists will tap out their cheery thoughts on, say, their love of baths or have you noticed how nobody smiles on the bus any more and then, one day, something awful happens and they share it and, having got to know them through the stories they tell about their cats or wives, you lean in.

Bad events knocked the joy out of my life. How do I get it back? | Ask Philippa

Learn the difference between self-pity, which leads us to feel resentful and helpless, and self-compassion, which promotes resilience and self-awareness The question I feel as though, over the years, I’ve allowed setbacks to knock down all my pillars of happiness and now feel I just live among the ruins.When I was young, I read books where naive anti-heroes had funny experiences and I thought if I was open-minded, funny things would happen to me, too. I now realise it’s probably not how people experience life.Twenty years ago, I ended up on an art MA, but the main tutor hated me and refused to let me on to the second year. I’d been doing fun stuff that lots of people liked, but she managed to annihilate all my enthusiasm for art.Then one of my best friends just stopped talking to me and never told me why. It shook my feeling that friendship was a strong bond and since then people can be in my life, but I don’t hold on to them very well for long.A relationship ended after a lengthy court case and, since then, more than a decade ago, I have struggled to enjoy anything. Then I accepted a job where I was given minimal training, but was constantly berated for getting stuff wrong and after six months had a breakdown. I know there’s a thing about not allowing people to have power over you, but it’s felt like a series of knockout blows. I want more out of life and I thought if I waited something would grow, like weeds do after you clear some ground, but nothing really has. How do I find my way to enjoyment?
