despite slowly getting better in most areas of his life (memory, motor function, fatigue), he's lost his desire for sex and it hasn't come back at all. while he is fully functional physically and able to feel emotions (again), including romantic love, he does not desire sexual contact. even something as basic as a hand massage never takes him beyond the immediate touch on his hand. we've tried to get the ball rolling in a number of ways, but he's just not into it.

is this something that can return? i'd love to hear anyone's personal experience with this side of the injury.

we are not married and do not have kids. i love him but and at a crossroads in terms of the future.

thank you.
