i know this sounds so stupid and like why am i even posting this but i really need to get it off my chest bc idk who else to talk to about it (my friends would just like... laugh or something) so i'm 62 now right? retired teacher, finally got that sweet pension after dealing with middle schoolers for like ever. thought i was gonna be living my best life (lol) traveling with the wife, doing all the stuff we talked about for years. but like a few months ago, maybe four or five? it just... stopped. the feeling, you know? like for wanting to be intimate. totally gone. zero. nada. and it's not like it was this huge thing before, we're 62! but there was still... something. a spark. and now it's just like a light switch flipped to OFF. and the wife has noticed, obviously. she tries to be cool about it but i can see it in her eyes. she's worried. and i'm worried. the internet says it's normal aging right? for men anyway. but it feels SO sudden. like over night. and i keep thinking about my buddy dave who's 65 and he’s like bragging about his sex life (too much info dave but thanks for the comparison). is that weird? does everyone’s just like... POOF? i'm trying to tell myself it's just retirement stress or something but i'm not stressed. i’m BORED mostly. but that shouldn’t make it all disappear right? i keep thinking what if something’s like REALLY wrong with me. like what if it’s a symptom of some other bigger thing lurking. idk. it just feels so... not me. like a part of me just kinda died. and i don't know how to get it back. or if i even can. (and don't tell me to go to a doctor i know i should but what am i even gonna say?)
