Today's Cryptoquip clue: T equals E
The Cryptoquip is a simple substitution cipher in which each
letter used stands for another. If you think that.X equals 0, it

will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words,

. and words using an apostraphe pan give you clues to locating

vowels, Solution ig accomplished by trial and error.

Dear Abby...

DEAR ABBY: Three cheers for LIVING A LIE—the .
woman who a3 honest enough to admit that she did not .

enjoy sex, but had “faked it” in the badroom for 20 years.

I, too, was married for 20 years and never really enjoyed
sex, [have come to the conclusion that many women do not
enjoy.sex, but this in no way affecta their ability to love.

Furthermore, I feel: that there are many women who’

have been living a lie ‘and “faking it” for financial reasons
and because they enjoy all the other aspects of marriage.
. Please print this to seo if there are other women honest

enough to admit this. .
HONEST IN TUCSON

‘DEAR ABBY: Ihave been reading, with pleasure, your
column containing the letters from the 50-year-old and the
36-year-old, both of whom seem to value love above sex.

Fam happy to know there are others who feel ag I do. I
had about given up and decided maybe I was some kind of
freak. I value sex highly, but as a fulfillment of love. J am
very affectionate, and enjoy being held close, kissed and
caressed by someone I love; and the feeling of love

between us is what turns me.on. I am considered frigid |

because I feel this way, and because I cannot crawl into
hed with no leve or tenderness invelved, and go through all
kinds of mattress acrobatics, as if playing a game, and feal
I had a wonderful time and complete iment.

Tam not saying this way is wrong, but it 18 not for me.
and I reseiit being considered odd because I feel thia way.
It ie good to know there are others who believe in love.
When the sex drive is long gone, love and tender memories:
will still be there. -

DEAR ABBY: Why will no one aver come right out and

. say that ex can be uncomfortable, sometimes painful and

often messy? Sex isn’t always that heavenly experience
that sex manuals and porno promoters would have us
believe. - ae

Sometimes. it’s O.K., particularly if one can. bathe
luxuriously, gat glamorous and beautified, and get into a
good and relaxed mood. But how many working women or
women with small children can do that? .

I feel that I have been denied an outlet for real affection
all my life. Affection to my husband has alwaya meant sex:

For my part I've conte to hate even the thought of it. I

could hardly wait until menopause, and have since then
just said, “No; I'm too old.” But I would like to have said.
“No” much earlier.
