Hello all,

I'm facing a rather personal dilemma and I'm hoping to find some understanding and advice from this community. After more than 15 years as a single male, during which time I was involved with multiple couples and individuals without specific preferences, I've noticed a shift in my tastes. It seems they have become more selective over time.

Now that I'm married, I find myself in a unique situation. My physical response is greatly influenced by whether or not the female participant fits my particular type. While this may sound relatively normal, the realization has begun to narrow down the shared experiences that my wife and I can enjoy together. I feel bad about this limitation, and it's something I hadn't anticipated.

Has anyone else experienced this? How have you navigated the complexities of personal preferences within your relationship? Are there strategies you would recommend to broaden the experiences we can enjoy together without feeling constrained by these preferences? My priority is to ensure a loving and fulfilling relationship, and I appreciate any insights you may have.

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses.
