Abstract
How does one come to understand their relationship to sexuality and desire in middle age, inside an aromantic marriage, on the maximum dose of libido-crushing Lexapro, after having published a memoir about a decade of sexual trauma? This work of creative nonfiction tells the beginning of a story about a marriage opening and then ending through the lens of a woman coming to terms with her sexuality.
