We know that menopause affects our sex drive, so what can we do to improve it?

Anonymous

I'm a newlywed and absolutely adore my new husband. I'm so happy to be married to him. There's just one issue that keeps popping up as a challenge, and it has to do with the way we communicate. Or maybe it's the way we think and communicate. Anyway, I'm more of a "big picture" kind of person and really don't like to talk, and he is very detail-oriented and loves to talk through details, over and over again. I tease him that he's more like a woman in that way, which of course he doesn't appreciate, but it really drives me crazy to talk through things in great detail when I'm ready to move on to the next thing and then the next (I guess I don't have a lot of patience). And sometimes he'll ask me what I think is a rhetorical question, and I won't answer it, but then he'll get frustrated because it wasn't really rhetorical and he thinks I'm ignoring him. So what does someone who isn't into talking do with a spouse who talks things up and down and sideways?....

How can you encourage your spouse/partner to step up to the plate and take on more of a decision-making role in your relationship? I've noticed that over the years I have to make all the decisions weather small or large in our marriage, why is that? I want the input but always get the same answer "doesn't matter to me." How can I express how important his input is without getting upset about it?

How do I tell my partner that he should be more inventive sexually?

My partner and I are both virgin and healthy, and we wondered if anal sex with no protection has some risks. We both don`t have any diseases, the thing is about the natural bacterias in the colon. Can they cause an infection if they get into the penis. First of all can they get into it? Thanks alot if you ever answer:D
Take care^^
