I guess I'm sort of hijacking your thread. Sorry, but your post made me realize how HORRIBLE I've been feeling about these things for past years.
I feel like the "elephant man" even though I am not - I'm certain most people passing me on the street would expect the total opposite.
I guess its a good example of how one aspect of our lives (sexuality) can affect us so profoundly. Its not that I can't get any per se, but rather why I could be in a "good" marraige for many years, want sex, and have nothing. It makes me feel like some kind of mutant.
I've forgotten what it is like to be wanted. I'll get off my pity-pot now. Perhaps its because its my birthday today (53) and I feel old and useless - though its probably totally far from the reality.
