Married twenty years, and there's been nothing physical with my husband for about ten of them. My sex drive hasn't faded with age, and I've been carrying around that very female wish to be looked at as a woman. What changed things was my son's friend Genki starting to come over. Genki is an adult student with an appetite of his own, and he'd send heated looks my way at every opportunity. I found myself enjoying being wanted, and started playing at tempting him just to watch him react — and then one night, there was a huge power cut.
