Neither of us can get comfy and he’s too heavy on top. I have to admit, we are both obese.
We can’t even blame lockdown. But we live in a flat on a busy street full of kebab and fried chicken shops. It’s just too tempting.
We went to a wedding a month ago and when I saw the photographs, I was horrified as we looked huge.
I talked to my husband and we both agreed to change.
We are now eating more healthily and going for a long walk each night.
My husband asked whether we could have sex again if we lost weight.

But the truth is, I don’t know. It’s been years.
Can we ever get back to those days of passion we both enjoyed?

DEIDRE SAYS: Yes, absolutely you can. A good sex life is great for you, both physically and mentally.
It also gives you that important intimate connection.
Don’t expect to swing from the chandeliers when you first try again. Build up slowly, like you did when you first explored one another sexually.
