Okay, it's been a strange week.
I attended the Gilda's club gynecologic oncology meeting. I was younger than the others by at least thirty five years. It was my first of these. I had only been to the Cancer in your 20/30's group and others that were less specific. How come no one warned me the monthly topic was "sex and gynecological cancer"?
In a room full of senior citizens (save the guest speaker) I felt ready to burst into giggles. Watching these women examine and pass around magazines, erotic novels, dilators, Astroglide and toy catalogs was just too much.

Yeah, yesterday was the weekly Sex Addicts Anon group that I wondered about.
All male, though I was forewarned that might be the case. Some women have attended, but many can't handle the male to female ratio. Others come, and find a woman, and feel more comfortable, until a meeting comes where one can't make it, and they drop. Which, depending on the women, and the men involved, I can understand.
Not sure I need to be there. Very different than I anticipated. Paul, the meeting leader, brought his girlfriend, and met me before the meeting, to give me a heads up. It was nice of them to go out of their way to make me comfortable.
No one there was rude, or snarky towards me. One guy was awkward, another gave me a look that reminded me to lean back in my chair, since leaning my hands on my knees showed cleavage. There was a group hug(!?) at the end I didn't expect. Though afterwards, the guy next to me apologized, saying they should have offered me an out if I wanted it.
I don't know if I'll go back.
Husband told me to go if I thought I should, and at the same time, made it known he didn't approve of me going.
