I don’t know where that saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his
stomach started, but unless you only asked men living in a retirement community,
I don’t think you’ll find the majority in agreement. And I’m not sure
that even the seniors would give their vote.
Men like to eat, but if they have to do something for themselves, they’d prefer
to feed themselves. Some women, after a few years or a few kids, seem to
withdraw from sex. A wife may think that as long as she feeds her husband
and maybe irons his shirts, that’s all he really needs from her.
That idea may work for a while, but then he’ll get a new secretary, or go to a
convention in Las Vegas, or just look differently at the neighbor’s wife, and all
of a sudden his attention is permanently drawn elsewhere.
As a man ages, his sexual urges may come further apart, but they’re still
there. If, for some reason, you seem to have lost your sexual desire, don’t just
assume it happens because you’re a woman. That’s nonsense.
Loss of sexual
appetite is almost always caused by something specific, so find a specialist —
a sex therapist or marital therapist — who can help you overcome this problem.
