Imaginative fiction would help I’m sure. After decades together, memories serve as the main fuel of attraction though. The ease in which all the parts fit together so comfortably, can drive a continuing desire, which knows no age or limit. Familiarity heightens, rather than diminishes the act of making love, for two people in love. Good fiction is just that, good fiction. It can’t hurt. :) Our sex lives, man or woman, married or not, depend on shared love, experiences, and enjoying the pleasure we evoke in each other. Imaginative fiction would help I’m sure.
