> Okay, here's a sticky question - are you still sexually attracted to your wife? I ask because I know that I'm not really attracted to my husband anymore, although physically he hasn't changed all that much in the last 20 yrs. I guess it's more about how I feel about him as a person. If that desire is gone, and the romance is gone, is it possible to get it back? To me, that's everything.

I think you hit the nail on the head! (Is that a pun?) I don't know if it is the same for men, but I do believe a woman needs a connection with her mate. Without the emotional connection we start staring at the ceiling.
Physical attributes don't have much to do with sexual attraction for myself. (Well maybe it isn't sexual, more a warm cuddly feeling.) Anybody that is smiling and having fun I like. And then let the poor soul give me any praise, (thanks to effexor) I'll lap it up like a little puppy, friend for life.
So I guess if we're not connecting emotionally with our spouses, they start to look less desirable.
