Re: giving up sex

It helps that I have an understanding doctor who is, in her own way, a feminist who believes my marriage is an ideal model which should be embraced by more couples. She is also my wife’s doctor and friend. Every three months I am given a shot of Depo-Provera which eliminates most of my sex drive and even controls my fantasies and helps make my marriage work better. The drugs also assure that I can no longer have an erection and, after a few years, I have noticed that my prick has visibly shrunk. I also attend the surgery every Friday morning for oestrogen treatment which normally wrecks my weekend and confuses me until at least Monday. I find it impossible to go out of the house on Saturday and Sunday, but I use the time to clean and do the laundry for the week. I know the treatment is reversable but, for the time being, this is what works for us. It eliminates any guilt feelings my wife might have for denying me sex over the long-term and it makes me a better husband and provider for her. It also teaches me that marriage is not just about sex. It is about taking care of a woman, allowing her the freedom she deserves and applying myself to other things I am far better at doing.
