One Night Stranded Should Tell Woman Something

DEAR SUSAN: I am 45 and soon to be divorced. I raised three children, who are now grown and married. My husband and I grew apart in the last years of the marriage, and I've been celibate for two years. Lately, though, I've been feeling very alive and sensual.

Recently, I asked a wonderful single man I know if he'd consider a few hours of "pleasure," no strings attached. He said he would, but then he changed his mind. He didn't give a reason. How do I ask another man in a way that won't get me rejected again?

- Desperate to Feel Like a Woman. Long Island, N.Y.

DEAR DESPERATE: You don't. Take a cue from this wonderful man and his second thoughts and stop and think this through. This is a delicate phase you're going through, a mixture of all sorts of feelings and moods, a time for clear thinking. Your idea of going from man to man, asking for sex, shows me anything but. The next time you're feeling supersensual, let a cold shower remind you that a period of celibacy can be extremely creative and fulfilling, and that channeling your libido into self-expression can make you feel more of a woman than any amount of loveless sex. Give it a try. The offer comes with no strings.

Write to Susan Deitz c/o DivorceInteractive.com, 94 Second Street, Mineola, N.Y. 11501. She will answer all letters that come with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

You guys are slipping. I can't believe I had to get to post 93 before Helen was posted.

"channeling your libido"

I dare anyone to throw this out in casual conversation.

Male:"How are you?"
Female: "Oh, I'm fine. I'm just channeling my libido"
Male: "Oh? I just take the express lane. I get here in 20 minutes."
Female: "I'm not talking about my commute into work, you idiot. I'm talking about libido!"
Male: "Libido? What is that? Sounds like lesbian talk. You aren't les.."
Female: "Oh, shut up. I wasn't until now."

...or go outside and flag down the first car she sees.

Well it would improve her chances if the car were actually driven by a man.

One word: Unnngh!

Yea, God help me, always on the lookout for that non-commie babe. Around these parts that's a little tough.

Non commie babe that shaves?
Reach for the sky, kiddo!

I know...this is a tough one. Also finding the one gal that is single with less than three kids and a full time job....pretty close to impossible 'round here.

[BossLady]

We single chicks with jobs and no kids travel in packs....you might have to be brave and approach with caution! LOL!

Chaste means having the sexual expression which is proper to your state in life. Lovemaking for married couples is chaste.
