Her Unfortunate Asexuality

Now that I’ve seen her wedding ring
She’s unattractive, merely a “thing”
Stripped of all femininity – 
If only my body would agree!

Interesting write. A change in status often changes nothing really, only in the mind.

I love this, Susan - yes, how hard it is sometimes to view someone else's wife without lust! A sure winner
