2hands+: I received the following message from jumbo747jet, and decided to quote it here as he raises a question which I didnīt cover in my original posts.

Very good and honest post about your sexual problems. Welcome to the lpsg
I can't help but wonder if there was anything else in your life that changed at around the same time, which might have caused it to be so sudden.

The answer is yes. Something did change in the year before the start of the collapse. But it was, apparently, a positive thing. That year saw the final successful completion of a major academic project that my wife had been working on, off and on, for nearly 10 years, and in which I had been intimately involved during the last 2 years or so. This took a huge load off our lives.
This project had generated a great deal of general stress, and a good deal of inter-personal friction between us. At no time, however, even in the most highly stressed moments was our sex life affected. In fact it was the relief valve for our relationship.
Removing this weight from our lives should have made things easier, not worse.
If the stress during these preceding years is to be considered as the cause for my sexual collapse, then be very, very, careful of stress. The evidence I have at 3 three years after the start of this process of sexual collapse, is that there is no return, no path back. If this is the result of stress, then the damage caused by stress appears to be permanent.
