		<description>Hi :) I lurk occasionally when I have time (why I&#039;m commenting on something this old), and I just wanted to say how true I&#039;ve found number two especially. From someone who tends to be shy and avoid any possibility of confrontation, I&#039;ve recently tried to ask for more of what I want and it really helps and it also in a way helps you realize that no one else is a mind reader either. Just something I found interesting :) Also, if it&#039;s not intended this way, this is going to come across as a strange question, but was the first line of five a literary reference? I read way to much, so I tend to spot a lot of unintentional similarities, but it&#039;s a quote from one of my favorite books, and I was wondering if that was intentional.</description>

		<description>Yes, passionfruit, I do have a reply.  What you&#039;re doing is stalking.  You need to stop that.  A) It&#039;s illegal.   B) It has zip to do with any sort of honest love.

Don&#039;t go to a voodoo doctor, for pity&#039;s sake.   Go to a psychologist.  You need counseling from a professional who knows what he or she is doing.</description>

		<description>Blessings:

I didn&#039;t think that I would ever fall &quot;in love&quot; or have sexual feelings for anyone after the awful relationship I was in. Unfortunately, the Universe had different plans for me. I was on this forum and met a couple with whom I shared views at least on a socio-political basis. I never thought about them because I was very depressed my life was a mess and my partner with whom I shared an apartment had 2 children was very abusive. It was a bad time...and then I had the dream of a man making sweet love to me and he left without me even seeing his face. It was maddening! I couldn&#039;t believe it! I thought that those feelings were dead in me. I was in my late 30s by then and I wasn&#039;t looking for that kind of love just a job, money and friendship-preferably female. 
I let it go but a few months later it came back with a vengeance, the feelings of sexual thrill and freedom. I felt like a new person in these dreams/fantasies. And then I realize that it was all about that couple with whom I sometimes communicated on that forum!
I couldn&#039;t believe it! I don&#039;t go near married men that way! Besides they are never interested in the likes of me anyway! And I have never considered myself a lesbian or woman loving woman so why was I having these dreams and fantasies? 
I wrote to him and told him half of the story, my feelings and dreams about him. He took his time to respond and flatly turned me down and insisted that one could not fall in love with another thru the internet!
It&#039;s been 5  years now since this nightmare began and the feelings have intensified and so have the dreams and fantasies. I have tried to get help by writing to folks on the poly sites and calling various &quot;experts&quot;. but no one has responded in kind. I have no resources to get the help I need to get over this nightmare.
A Voodoo doctor in New Orleans promised he could make me normal again by erasing the feelings for $500.00 I have not been able to pay it. 
I keep writing to the couple about my feelings sometimes sending pretty sexually explicit emails but they don&#039;t respond. I feel like a mad woman, a crazy deranged pervert.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Any advice Goddess of Java? I wish I could buy you a cup. (hopefully soon when my finances get better.)

		<description>I had fooled around with a couple women but after I met my (wife to be) girl I really gave her my love. Unfortunately she was not able to bear children after becoming pregnant 3 times. She lost interest in sex and submitted only because it was her obligation. I have had sex with other women over the 44 yrs of marriage.

She is very conservative and has no thoughts of sex with others meanwhile I would have thoughts of having another woman in bed with me and helping around  our home. My wife &amp; I are in our 70s and I have a Penile Implant.</description>
