Celibacy Susan

Let's see, I'm a woman in my early forties, born and still living in the Southeastern United States. I've been celibate for a little over 10 years.
How I arrived at celibacy...well, I was married, had the required two kids (couldn't figure out how to produce the 0.1, or maybe the hubby was that? :) and just lost interest. It had never been all that much fun for the trouble it took, but with all the children I could handle, it lost any positive motivation at all.

Anyway, I've had offers of sex from people I liked and who might even be disease-free, but it was never tempting enough for the bother and the risk, and after all this time, I don't suppose it ever will be. It's very relaxing to go ahead and declare oneself free of this particular obsession.
