I'm straight and female but believe ( as far as acceptance goes) it's not any easier for either "sides of the coin" .

Finding a mature man who’s ready to settle down and do life together; commit and enjoy the pre golden years seems hard to find. At 60, sometimes it gets lonesome, but my peace is amazing. I won’t settle and I’m still very hopeful we will cross paths. If not, I’m making life grand and adventures.

Try to find a way to love yourself enough and never give up!

yes it isn't so much the sex I miss as it is the companionship and finishing each others sentences of someone you have an intimate relationship with.

At 36, undetectable for 8 years, and soon to be divorced, I've come to discover that a majority of people seem to think a relationship with someone else is supposed to "complete" them. I've been there and done that and the truth to the matter is that no one can make you complete except for yourself. A partner in crime shouldn't be a complement to your life but help supplement your life and vice versa. Being held responsible entirely for the others' happiness is a weight no one can hold; we are all human, make mistakes, cause each other grievances. It's what we do after that counts and defines your character, even if you are the only one aware of your actions after the fact.
