Last week I asked how long members had been without intimacy, and from the responses it was clear that I am far from alone in my eight-year drought, and MANY people have gone months, years, and decades without.
Now I'm wondering if, for those of you suffering a prolonged dry spell, do you ever enjoy intimate moments in your dreams (while sleeping)?
Me, I am fortunate that I have extremely wivid dreams with colour and sound and even emotions, and I can often remember mine. I'd guess that at least once every few months, I have a dream in which a woman actually likes me and is attracted to me. Often we are just hanging out, but sometimes there is physical contact that feels REAL.
When I wake, I feel a sense of sadness and desperation to go back to sleep so I can reenter the dream, but it doesn't always work.
Anyway, after eight years, I crave these nighttime experiences because they are all I'm likely to get given how dramatically intimacy drops after 50, at least for me.
