different libidos were creating a generation of men who were “miserable, angry and really disappointed” that their need for s*x was “being totally disregarded in their relationship”.
Now I didn't read the actual feature because I suspected it would make me angry and I note the Hoydens are a bit worked up about it this morning...
But I did get a bit teary when this letter turned up in the letters page today:
Reading between lines
My wife was a very avid reader in bed ("Sex, wives and libido", Good Weekend, February 28). I didn't know whether she found the novels so interesting or whether she wanted to be sure that by the time she put the book down I was fast asleep. Once, I told her that the girlfriends I had before I met her never read in bed. Yes, she answered, because they were illiterate.
When she complained that I was snoring, I told her that this was my mating call, but she said that this didn't work with her. When I told her that I really must be getting old as the girls don't even whistle any more in the street when I pass, she reassured me: They still do, but your hearing is gone.
I was very happily married for over 40 years and I think a mutual sense of humour is the most important ingredient in a successful relationship.
This is in memoriam.
