Dead Red Rose Redemption: A Messy Trip through Sexual Desire Disorder

Sexual Exploration...
Not just rediscovery, but a journey all anew, well beyond where even normal mortals fear to tread into an unusual sexual exploration phase where it seemed I was willing to 'double up to catch up' to regain and achieve my lifetime allotment of sexual exploits, romps, and whoopie.
An unusual path through uncharted waters; oddly enough comfortable confirming "There's a reason our world has fewer lesbians: it's called female fluidity." And that's not just because I can squirt with the best of them, but instead it turns out I'm willing to explore all my options available to meet my newfound sexual needs, no longer completely confined by any obvious gender bias.
A journey from practically asexual to ascending quickly upward into the heavens with my sights set upon achieving holy hell sex goddess status. All while battling menopausal challenges and mundane celibate married life, blossoming into the brilliant red, glowing Rose attempting to strip off her inhibitions (often times with her clothes) in the most unlikely circumstances.
Who knew memory loss likely associated with early-onset dementia could result in an increased sexual responsiveness in an otherwise fit and active post-menopausal body? An otherworldly vacation from my otherwise previous quarter century of self-imposed sexless marriage.

Just how far will this double book take us on this sexual journey? Turns out from the sexless wasteland that is Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD/HSDS/Whatever nom de moment Lacking Sexual Desire moniker the latest DSM comes up with) well past normal sex into the realms of potentially the complete opposite of no sex: too much rumpy bumpy.
Covering this degree of situations, this collection of short stories, recollections, and far-too-much honesty and unbelievable non-fiction - can be broken down into some major sections:
Relationships: Bad News Bare, Best Wife Ever, Changing the Past, Cool Wife, Foot in Mouth Disease, Photo Display Disarray, Vacations are Overrated, Window of Opportunity;
Desire Disorder (Low Sexual Desire): Everything Old is New Again, HSDD Health Hazard, Oral Sextant;
Complete Lack of Sexual Desire: Ace in My Hole, Asexual Antipathy, Naked Attraction, Sexual Intimacy Resuscitation (SIR), Wrong Beginning;
Sexual Anatomy, Physiology, Menopause and Aging: Female Coital Vocalization (FCV) Response/Reflex, Memory S***s on a Sex Goddess, Pink Ribbon Brigade Strikes Back, Side-Roasted, Squirtology 102, Violating the Natural Order, Visual Incongruity;
Transitions to Normal Sexuality: 100 Condoms, Butterfly Effect, Cum Drunk - Sex Intoxication, Mystery Me, Rosie-Lou Who? My Waterloo Moments, Sex Addict, Sex Diary, Zeitgeist Anti-Rose;
Exploratory Phase - a step beyond "Normal" heteronormative sexuality: Bite Me in the Butt, Conquering Compersion, Dynamic Duo, Hallway to Hell, Tinkling Temblor, Drippy Dick Disconnect, Foreplay, Mushroom Hunter, Pleasure Principle, Taking 1-2-3 for the Team, Team Sports.
Plus there's a healthy helping of various bonus bits (some photographically illustrated), in addition to the omnipresent "Truth and Consequences" background to practically every entry (no matter how much it might pain me at times to admit just how honest some of this material truly is).
To say the least, it's a lot of information to cover. And oddly enough, not only was I the woman to do it, my post-menopausal privates (although obviously much less private than when all this started) not only rose to the occasion, but reveled in it. And I'm sure one day I'll stop walking with a bowlegged gait. (At least being a real small town cowgirl, most folks just presume I'm recently returned from going back to the farm to visit. Now if only I can remember to stop correcting them by saying, "Oh no, that's because I haven't had my knees together much lately. My folks sold the farm years ago." (You can take the HSDD out of the woman, but you can't take the lack of TMI out of a dementia challenged brain.)
