Don't bother. Seriously, you are wasting both your time if this^ is your attitude about it. You've already lost the fight (the one in your head), that's clear as day from an unbiased perspective. If you can't flip the switch to 'on', you are doomed to fail.
No idea if any 35+ year old women are here (I highly doubt it) but maybe they can shed some light on things. I can tell you toys, other people, any spice it up suggestions, serious or otherwise were not seriously entertained. She still enjoys sex when we have it ... its just incredibly infrequent.
Yep, me. Several others. Its not about the physical, for her. You are focused on sex, I suspect she wants love. Doesn't sound to me you are up to it.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
