Sexless marriage. A term everyone knows. My relationship with my husband had gradually become defined by it. Not anyone's fault, yet my desires grew deeper each day. I was drawn to an esthetic clinic advertised in a magazine, its services vastly different from what it appeared. The phrase "development of the female genitalia" stirred a strange excitement within me. Even the word "portio" made my heart race in an inexplicable way. Finally, gathering my courage, I stepped into that clinic. The experience there profoundly shook my consciousness, transforming me into an entirely new being.
