Re: Echo..Echo...Echo...

I am with the majority. No libido; severe pain. Just simply avoid "the act" at all costs. Just thinking about going through the motions is painful! The only thing I have found to helping even a little bit is Astroglide. You can buy it anywhere. Gyn recommended it. Works way better than ky gel. But again, I just simply have no interest so the thought of using or trying anything anymore has left me. I feel sorry for my hubby. I pretty much have been this way since menopause over six years ago. Not that I was a firecracker before but at least I could go through the motions even if I didn't feel like it. Now, unbearable physically. I guess I will have to "want" to get creative like some of the rest of you and find an alternative but after this long, I think it will take something...not sure what!
