I'm 45M, my wife is 38F. Nearly three years ago she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She started treatment, and our sex life ended immediately. Through the miracles of modern medicine she's still fighting strong. However, her cancer is aggressive, and will eventually win. I don't know if she has six months, 1 year, or 5 years left to live... but I know that I won't have sex again until long after she is dead. To top it all off... I can't even complain about it ever. My wife is dying, and would give anything to be in my position. How could I possibly complain about something so trivial to anyone? I guess my biggest frustration is that I feel there is absolutely nothing I can do about my situation. There is no counseling, no hypnotherapy, no anything that can fix the problem. I never dreamed my wife would become terminally ill at age 35, or that my sex life would be over at 42, even though my libido has never been stronger.

If anyone has any ideas on how to cope with celibacy, please advise.
