So, as all of the regulars from /r/sexover30 will know, I left my ex of 15 years in April of 2015. For those that don’t know: Dead bedroom. Little empathy from the ex and very little effort on his part to please me in or out of bed. Long story. Suffice to say, the last time we had sex was for my birthday in the beginning of Sept of 2014.
My 2 year anniversary for not having had sex (with anyone but myself) was looming. I’ll be honest and say it was freaking depressing as hell. I honestly didn’t think I could catch a person’s attention. I didn’t think anyone would want me. The ex didn’t – and he wasn’t exactly a paragon of a man. He made sure, in a ton of subtle ways (and not so subtle), that I knew exactly where I stood with him. Far, far less than his ideal.
