NCMC Exhibit Features Works By Local Artist A collection of works by a rural Trenton resident will continue the 2019-2020 exhibition schedule in the Dorris Rider Art Gallery at North Central Missouri College. “FACES: Furry, Famous, and Familiar” by Dan Maxey will open on Tuesday, Feb. 11 and will be on display through mid-April. The exhibit will feature a collection of nearly 50 black and white illustrations highlighting film stars, TV personalities, family, friends and “furry faces.” Much of Maxey’s interest in this subject matter was brought about by individuals desiring professionally-designed portraits of family as well as his collection of famous personalities. “My attention to detail, with a bit of stylization, showcases my love for working with the balance of positive and negative space,” Maxey said. “This gives the viewer the opportunity to finish the picture as they see it.” Maxey is a graduate of Trenton High School and Trenton Junior College and went on to graduate from Southwest Missouri State Uni-
versity (now Missouri State University) in Springfield, receiving bachelor’s degrees in both fine arts and secondary education. Following graduation, Maxey worked at numerous creative agencies in the capacities of designer, illustrator, art director, and senior creative director. This included working for over 15 years for a Fortune 500 Company in St. Louis. “I have always been interested in illustration,” Maxey said. “I give credit to my high school art instructor, Janet Coy Way, for being a mentor and molding me into the artist I am today.” Maxey returned to Trenton in 2012 and cofounded Black Rooster Creative, which is a company responsible for the design and painting of barn quilts that are now found in five states. In addition, he continues to design both custom and standard artworks as both a hobby and profession. Since his return to Trenton, Maxey has also been actively involved in the newly-formed

His business was responsible for bringing the Missouri Bicentennial “Paint for a Cause” project to the area during the 2019 Missouri Day Festival. He also serves as a guest critic and judge for numerous art shows and critiques, locally and throughout mid-Missouri. “I’ve personally been a fan of Dan’s art for many years,” Gallery Director Jim Norris said. “His drawings are always expertly rendered, and they are instantly engaging to viewers.

Brody Langfitt led the Hawks with 24 points and nine steals, scoring 16 points in the fourth quarter to spur the Gilman comeback bid. Jory Stotts added 15 points for the Hawks (1-12). The Grundy boys fell 63-60 to Tina-Avalon at home on Wednesday night. Tanner Williams and Gann each had 18 to lead Grundy in the loss.

Maci Moore looks to pass during Trenton’s 54-26 win over Putnam County on Tuesday. Moore led Trenton with 29 points and 10 rebounds and has now scored 98 points in her last three games combined.
POINTS GALORE Moore Piles Up The Points In Trenton Victories TRENTON GIRLS 59 POLO GIRLS 40 TRENTON GIRLS 54 PUTNAM COUNTY GIRLS 26 Time after time after time the Trenton Bulldogs tossed the ball inside to Maci Moore. Time after time after time she shot and scored. The Putnam County Midgets had no answer for Trenton’s star forward on Tuesday night. Moore put up 29 points and 10 rebounds, leading Trenton to its third-straight win – this one a 5426 victory at home in the THS gym. “Maci is great at finding space,” Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “She works incredibly hard at studying the game and knowing where to go on the floor. Our girls’ spacing has been great and our passing has been great. The other four girls have to be where they need to be so Maci can get those opportunities.” In the three-game THS win streak, Moore has elevated her game to a level impressive even for her usual
lofty standards. She has scored 98 points in the three games combined, an average of 32.7 points per contest. “On offense, our ball movement is working more so the defense shifts,” Moore said of the reasoning behind her historic stretch. “Then the post gets more looks inside; just moving the ball and moving it fast.” Moore was getting plenty of looks inside against the Midgets, connecting on her first seven attempts in the paint. She had 10 points in the first quarter alone and 21 by halftime. Trenton opened the game on a 15-0 run, punctuated by a McKayla Blackburn threepointer. The Bulldogs led 17-3 after one quarter and 38-16 at halftime. Trenton mostly cruised in the second half, though the Bulldog defense remained as strong as ever. Putnam County generated just five points in both the third and fourth quarters. It all added up for a memorable Senior Night for the four Bulldog seniors. Blackburn and Lexi Whitaker have been with program all four years of their high school careers, playing minutes in some of the program’s biggest games. Allena Allen and Kendall Crowley were also honored, having returned to the program this year for their senior seasons. “McKayla and Lexi, starting with their freshman year, are going to be some of the winningest players in Trenton history,” Cool said. “And then
I am so excited that Kendall and Allena came back out because they are multi-sport athletes, great leaders and great teammates. All four of them collectively have been great leaders for our team this year.” Behind Moore, Whitaker added eight points and seven assists and Teya Cooksey had six points. Blackburn added five points, three steals and three assists. Trenton got four points from Crowley and two points and six assists from Chandler Lynch. The win pushed Trenton to 12-7 overall and 5-1 within Grand River Conference play. The Bulldogs are on the road on tonight (Friday), traveling to face Stanberry, who at the moment looks like the opponent for Trenton at the GRC Showcase once again. Should the two teams hold their current positions in their respective division standings, they will face off when the conference crosses over for the fourth year in a row. This year, however, will likely be the first time their crossover match-up is not for the league title as both teams currently sit second in the division standings. Tipoff in Stanberry is scheduled for 6 p.m., following a JV matchup. vs. POLO The Trenton girls matched up with Polo on Monday for the second time and this game didn’t vary much from [See MOORE, Page 3]
Had it not been for a crucial stretch in the first and second quarters, the Trenton High School boys basketball team might have been in the running for its first Grand River Conference victory of the year on Tuesday. But an 18-0 run that bridged the first and second frames led to another loss as Putnam County left town with a 70-50 win over the Bulldogs. All season long Trenton has suffered through stretches of games while looking their opponent’s equal at other times. Tuesday night was no different. The Bulldogs traded punches with Putnam County in the early going and trailed just 11-9 when the Midget run began. Midway through the second quarter, Trenton was looking at a 29-9 deficit. At halftime, the Putnam lead stood at 37-20. The Midgets stretched the advantage by seven points in the third quarter before Trenton cut the lead to under 20 on a few occasions in the fourth quarter before falling by the 20-point margin. Trenton was led with 12 points from senior Jaren Whitney, who was also recognized during Senior Night activities. Gavin Roeder followed with 11 and Royce Jackson added 10. Brycin Loyd and Preston Harris each had six points and Chase Otto’s three and Kayden Spencer’s two rounded out the Trenton total. Trenton fell to 3-16 overall and 0-6 in league play. The Bulldogs will try to bounce back tonight (Friday) as they travel to Stanberry for a Bulldog battle. Action on the night begins with junior varsity action at 5 o’clock, followed by the varsity doubleheader between the two schools. vs. POLO The Trenton High School boys basketball team nearly picked up its first Grand River Conference victory of the sea[See RALLY, Page 3]
NJCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL :: No. 1 NORTH CENTRAL 114, CULVER STOCKTON JV 70
North Central Men Start Fast, Roll Over Culver Stockton JV Seven Pirates Reach Double Figures In Victory
There was a point in time when the North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team was averaging 100-plus points per game. But as the Pirates climbed the rankings and more and more teams began playing zone defenses, that scoring average began to dip. The scoring average isn’t nearly as important as the results and for the Pirates the results have been tremendous. On Tuesday night at the Ketcham Community Center, the Pirates found their shooting stroke and ran up triple digits with a 114-70 victory over the visiting Culver Stockton University junior varsity.
After picking up three of their last four wins with scores in the 70s, the Pirates busted loose offensively, getting a tremendous shooting night from beyond the arc. Jackson Andrews led that charge, knocking down six three-pointers on his way to a team-high 21 points. Andrews was hardly the only Pirate to reach double figures in this one, though, as six of his teammates joined him in that category. Jeramy Shaw was the second-leading scorer on the night, finishing with 16 points and Quinan Rieves added 13. Atavian Butler and Jonathan Richmond each had 12 points and Michael Horton added 11. Rayonte Childs rounded out the Pirates’ double-digit performers, finishing with 10. The win was the 16th in a row for the Pirates and it was never in doubt as North Central’s first half total matched Culver Stockton’s mark for the entire game – 70 points. The Pirates, who maintained their number-one ranking in the NJCAA Division II National Poll on Monday, moved to 20-1 overall on the season with the victory. NCMC was at home on Thursday night, hosting the Missouri Valley junior varsity, and will then travel to Kansas City on Satur-

Pirates Fall Back On Defensive Effort NCMC WOMEN 63 MO VALLEY JV 45
The North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team does not make a habit of losing to junior varsity squads. So when the Pirates fell 81-73 to the Missouri Valley University JV back in December, Feb. 4 was immediately circled on their schedule. North Central got its revenge on Tuesday night, defeating the visiting Viking JV squad 63-45. “There was motivation after losing to (Missouri Valley) earlier,� NCMC coach Jenni Croy said. “We were extremely disappointed with our performance (a Region 16 loss against St. Louis) on Saturday as well. We kind of had a little team meeting, kind of regrouped before practice (on Monday) and made sure everybody put a good, solid practice on the floor and had their energy level where it needed to be. I think that helped us tonight.� The Pirates didn’t have much going their way offensively, but crept out to a 13-8 lead after one quarter, with the margin expanding to 33-21 at

halftime. While points were hard to come by, the Pirates defense made that point moot, stifling Missouri Valley all game long. The visitors never scored more than 15 points in a single frame and in both the first and fourth quarter, North Central held the Vikings to single digits. “We were ready to play, we were focused,� Croy said. “We missed a lot of shots that we
should make and we have to put those easy shots in the basket. We went on some runs tonight, but we didn’t play a complete game offensively. We did a decent job defensively, but we still have work to do offensively.� Despite the lack of offense, North Central did get a big game from Kortlyn Rounkles, who led all scorers with 23 points. Da’Briauna Bables was
the only other Pirate in double figures, scoring 10 points. McKenzie McBee had eight points and Angel Wiggins finished with seven. With the win, North Central improved to 14-7 overall on the season. The Pirates will look to pick up their first region win on Saturday as they face off with Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m.
Moore Repeats Big Second Half Versus Polo [MOORE, from Page 2] the script Trenton wrote in its 49-33 victory over the Panthers at the Gallatin Tournament back on Dec. 5. Both games were close at halftime before Moore overwhelmed Polo in the second half. Moore scored 28 points, 19 in the second half of Monday’s contest and the Bulldogs rolled to a 59-40 win on their home floor. Moore scored 28 points in the previous matchup with Polo as well, getting just four in the first half before exploding with 24 in the final two frames to bury the Pan-
thers. This time around Moore found nine points in the first quarter alone, but Polo kept the junior forward off the scoreboard in the second quarter. The result was just a 25-23 lead for the Bulldogs at the break. Moore nailed a three-pointer early in the third quarter and then went to work on the inside. Polo had no answer. Moore didn’t shoot a free throw in the first half, but the junior forward was either getting two points or a trip to the charity stripe each time Trenton looked to her. She finished 8-of-9 from the line in the second half, scoring 19 over the game’s
final 16 minutes to turn the contest into a rout. Whitaker supplemented Moore’s productivity with 11 points, four assists and two steals. Blackburn knocked down a trio of three-pointers to finish with nine points and Lynch had four points, six assists and three steals. Crowley had four points as well and Teya Cooksey’s three rounded out the Trenton total. “The girls were very consistent,� Cool said. “We withstood a great shooting night from Polo and made sure to move the ball and get great shots on offense and that allowed us to stretch out our lead.�
Rally Comes Up Short Against Polo [RALLY, from Page 2] son on Monday, coming up four points short in a 47-43 home loss to Polo. Trenton was outscored marginally in each of the first three quarters and entered the fourth trailing 35-27. Trenton made one final push in the final frame, getting three-pointers from Brycin Loyd and Preston Harris to help close the gap. Polo didn’t do itself any favors on the free throw line, going just 7-of-12 from the stripe in the final eight minutes. Trenton got close, but came up just short in the end, falling by the four-point margin. The Bulldogs were led by 13 points from Royce Jackson and Chase Otto added nine. Jaren Whitney had eight points, Gavin Roeder had seven and Loyd and Harris finished with three each. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 3-15 overall and 0-5 within the league. Trenton will host Putnam County on Senior Night tonight. Seniors will be honored prior to the game, which will tip off after the girls contest between the two schools, which begins at 6 o’clock.

Have An Opinion?
by Wendell Lenhart
Sharing Our Grief It seems that I have done nothing since the first of the year but attend funerals of some dear friends, co-workers and acquaintances. I’m sure none of this has to do with the fact I’m getting older. One thing it has really reminded me of is the fact that if you have your health, you really have everything. We all go through the hustle and bustle of our lives and start worrying about things that, in the long run, really don’t matter as much as our relationships with our families and our friends. I have written often about small town living and the reasons we live Wendell Lenhart where we do. There are many things that make it special and I was reminded of another one this week by the officiant of one of the services I attended. In his message he asked the question, “What do we do with our grief?” His answer was “we share it.” And he’s so right. Time and time again you see it in communities where everyone knows everyone that we all share in everyone’s burdens. Whether it be in fundraisers to help other families burdened with expenses from an unforseen tragedy or medical issue to helping when a loved one is taken away. People have families and friends to help support them through the tough times but when you live in a closeknit community you also have the casual acquaintances who are there when you need them. Maybe it’s somebody who lives in your neighborhood or you see frequently in work or social settings. These people are also there when you need them; offering to help in any way they can and providing support in the form of food, completing needed tasks or making a donation to a designated memorial. We have it so much better than living in a large city where people don’t know each other as well. With our support system of family and friends sharing our grief we are able to process our pain, recover and, eventually, move on with our lives. My friend Andy Hill told me a story from his days of coaching football at the University of Missouri and the staff trying to deal with student-athletes from metropolitan areas who lost a family member. He said it would sometimes be a year or longer and they would still be grieving and unable to move on. The reason? They did not have the advantage of the same support structure of family and friends we enjoy in our smaller community. It’s just another example of why it’s great to live where we do.

Dark Money In The 2020 Campaigns by Phill Brooks, Director, Missouri Digital News The Missouri Ethics Commission has struck another blow against "dark money." The term describes money spent on behalf of candidates and ballot issues using a legal loophole that avoids disclosure of the real contributors. In the 1976 "Citizens United" decision the U.S. Supreme Court held that the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment of free speech precluded government restrictions on political spending by private organizations. That decision allowed "independent" organizations to spend unlimited amounts of money advocating for or against ballot issues and candidates. And because these organizations are not political committees, they are not under campaign contribution limits. But "independent" means only that the organization cannot coordinate with a campaign committee in spending as much as it wants supporting a campaign. In fact, various news stories have identified "independent" organizations to the specific candidates or ballot issues being benefited. It gets even darker because of the legislature's repeal of campaign contribution limits, these dark money organizations can contribute unlimited amounts to campaigns without disclosing the organizations' donors. Former Gov. Eric Greitens became the prime example for this dark money avenue. In 2016, nearly $2 million of Eric Greitens' campaign funds came from an organization named "Seals for Truth" which did not disclose the organization's donors. Two years later, the Missouri Ethics
Commission struck the first blow against dark money in a May 2018 advisory opinion. The commission concluded that a Missouri non-profit organization becomes a political committee required to disclose its donors if it receives more than $250 from any one contributor or more than $500 in a calendar year "for the primary or incidental purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the actions of voters." That opinion may have been sparked by a complaint filed by with the commission by Former Rep. Jay Barnes who chaired the House impeachment investigation of Grietens. Barnes charged that the Greitens' advocacy group "A New Missouri" formed to support the governor's policies effectively was promoting Greitens' campaign efforts. Later questions arose in 2018 when A New Missouri provided $1.6 million to an organization supporting a ballot issue to overturn the legislature's "right to work" law that would have banned requiring workers to join unions or pay union fees. There was no disclosure as to where A New Missouri got that money. The Ethics Commission's second blow against dark money came in January of this year. It involved a failed ballot issue alternative for legalizing medical marijuana that got major funding from a dark-money organization termed Missourians for Patient Care. The Missouri Ethics Commission concluded that because Patient Care effectively was a political committee, it had to disclose its donors. It turned out to be a long list including the rich financier Rex
Sinquefield and his wife. These Ethics Commission actions came on the heels of inaction by the GOPcontrolled legislature on bills dealing with dark money. Republican opposition always struck me as inconsistent. Several years ago when Republican lawmakers repealed voter-approved limits on campaign contributions, a major argument was that disclosure of contribution sources was more important to voters than spending limits. I understood that argument because of my experience with Mel Carnahan's gubernatorial campaign contributions in 1998 -- the last year before the contribution limits took effect. Analyzing Carnahan's contributions, I discovered Planned Parenthood was one of Carnahan's biggest contributors. It became a major issue. As governor, family planning funding for organizations like Planned Parenthood became one of Carnahan's major policy initiatives. But that was before dark money made campaign finance reports far less meaningful because of the ways special interests get around contribution limits and disclosure requirements. Maybe, for the 2020 campaigns, these latest actions by the Missouri Ethics Commission will help shine a light for Missouri voters on special interest dark money. But there is a potential limitation as to whether Missouri can require donor disclosure by an organization based in another state that spends on behalf of a Missouri candidate or ballot issue. Stay tuned.

• ATTITUDE • By Cindy Eivins, Trenton Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian
Thinking influences how we feel and behave. A positive, optimistic attitude will keep you feeling motivated and empowered to do what’s best for your body. If your attitude about your weight loss goal is positive, you have much higher odds of accomplishing it. Every week that you reach your goal, acknowledge your success. This will perpetuate positive thinking. When negative thoughts crop up, replace them with positive thoughts. Take a minute each day to visualize yourself with your goal accomplished, basking in success. When you expect something good to happen, your mindset can position you to achieve the goal you’ve been reaching for. Be your own cheerleader. “I can do this. I deserve to be healthy.” Positive self-talk is motivating. Research shows that when you have a positive attitude, you have a better chance of realizing your weight-loss goals. A study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine found participants who were habitually expecting something good to happen experienced increased enjoyment, improved mood, reduced anxiety and a better workout experience. Being optimistic will keep you hopeful, patient and will provide you with the endurance you need to persevere through difficult times.

NOSTALGIA REMINDS ME OF WARMER END TO PROLONGED MISSOURI WINTERS In days of yore, I went to Spring instead of it coming to me. In February I flew to Arizona, leaving 18F degrees and arriving in Phoenix at 68F. I removed winter wear on an airport shuttle to Mesa, my mother’s winter home among cacti. Missouri winters were worse back then, I recall. I left after Ag Science Week the first week of February when commodity groups and farm organizations got together at MU. College of Ag alums came back to mingle. A high point was Ag Day Barbecue, emceed by Cordell Tindall, farm editor and jokester. It was at the then new Trowbridge Livestock Center. The week exhausted news writers in the agricultural editors office. That was a different era, when ag school and extension could work together. Teaching through media was easier. There was no distracting “social media.� I now see it as “anti-social media,� where folks do their own thing without regard to facts. Faculty and administra-

tors want to tell stories their own way: No worry about content or reading-ease. Academic and science jargon flow in what newspaper editors call PR puke. The editors’ office taught media writing. Back then media meant newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. I think folks read more then, at least they read stories longer than 288 characters. Stories used verbs, not fluffy adjectives. Oh, the power of nostalgia! Back to spring. No matter what ground hogs saw, we’ll see more harsh winter. And, I won’t be on the cactus trail. Long ago, I resolved to never go on an airplane again. Life will be simpler if I drive or go by train. Close to home provides plenty to write. I’m reinforced at Show-MeSelect Heifer meetings. Beef farmers say they read stories in newspapers and magazines. Maybe I can extend my retirement career. There’s still an audience waiting to read understandable stories.

ers the college was going digital. All stories and guides would be on their computers. He learned a quick lesson from his audience. They assured him they wanted their stories on paper. Today, even young farmers tell me they want print. Our web sites are too confusing. Too much junk to wade through. They get cut off, unlike a newspaper in hand. Back to traveling, it’s not that it isn’t educational. When I visited mom, we drove a few miles south of her house to find big dairy farms. Miles of Holstein cows lined up in confinement. Those were between fields of irrigated alfalfa. That was before we worried about climate. I didn’t know huge dairies would become our source of milk, trucked in. A story last week told of over 800 dairy farms lost in Wisconsin last year. A former MU dairy specialist tells he’s visited a 7,000-cow dairy near his old home there. Times change. When I started writing extension stories, small dairy herds gave beginning farmers a start. Milk cows took lots of labor and little cash. Now our president says we must buy bigger tractors and get more land. His destruction of free foreign trade for farmers ends. He says. Can farm kids still grow up with 4-H and learn hard work?

When the word farmer comes to mind, what image do you picture? Maybe it’s an older gentleman like my grandfather with overalls and cowboy boots on, driving a beat up old truck. Or maybe it’s a man wearing a button up plaid shirt with a dusty ole ball cap atop his head. It may even be a young woman with blue jeans and a t-shirt on a tractor with a computer screen. Farmers have become so much more diverse over the years which is great. Here are some facts to help you get to know your American farmers. • About 98% of U.S. farms are family operated. • Roughly 11% of all American farmers have served in the military at some point in their life. • 25% of American farmers are beginning farmers which means they have been farming for less than 10 years. • Of that 25% of beginning farmers, the average age is 46 years old. • 13% of American farmers come from a Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino background. • 2% come from an African American background. • Women make up 36% of American farmers. • Just one U.S. farmer produces enough food for 165 people annually. • There are about 257,454 millennial farmers.

Dear Annie: My M boyfriend and I have been together for just over a yearr and a half. While we were first fi getting to know each other,, he made me aware of his depreession, which he is currently onn medication for (and has beenn for about a year now). He also goes to therapy. One major sidee efffect of his medication is thatt it's killed his libido. I can counnt on one hand how many times w we've been intimate during 20119. When we first got together, we had a normaal sex life. It wasn't until we m moved in together that I pickked up on his lack of interest inn sex. I've had many cconversations with him about m my feelings on this topic and how w it afffects me as well. While I do not question at all if he lloves me, the lack of being phhysical often makes me feel unaattractive. We We are, unfortunatelyy, on two diff-ferent sides of thhis topic. He feels if I love him m, I should be able to hang in theere; I feel like if he's as serious about me as he says, he shouldd be mentioning all this to hiss therapist or perhaps another ddoctor to try to 10 DA AY YS

January market stumble siggnals moore volatility One of Wall Stre eet’s adages warns that as January goes, so goes the rest of the year. This stems fro om data going back to 1945 showing g S&P 500 has a down January that when the S y,, it increases the lik kelihood for a full-year decline for the e market. 0 has ended the The S&P 500 year with a gain n 71% of the time since s ce Wo orld dW Wa ar II. That a a drops d ops ver stocks fell in to 54% whenev January. In addition, a down January typically leads to o a market decline in Febru uary, which is the third-worst mon nth for stocks behind September and August.
And in years when stocks fell in January and February, the S&P 500 notched a full-year gain only 40% of the time. The trend doesn’t bode well for stocks this year. The S&P 500 ended last month with loss of 0.2% as uncertainty over the virus outbreak emanating from China roiled markets. “What it really means is that we’re e e probably p obab b y going go g to o have a e more volatilitty and uncertainty,” said Sam Sto ovall, chief investment strategist s at CFRA. “The market has traditionally seen a 40% increase in volatility during those years in which we were down in n January y..”

find a solutionn. He won't sppeak to anyone on the topic as for him it's just "too embarrassing to speak about" to annyone other than me. I often gget angry that we do not have seex, but I try not to take it out onn him. I'm to the point that I don't even want to talk to him w when I'm feeling upset becausse I feel like my feelings on tthis subject don't matter. I'm very ffamiliar with depression, as itt runs in my famI completely ily, and understand thhat it does afffect everyone differently. But I w frustrated I am can't help how with not beinng intimate. I feel I've done eveerything I can to try to help thhe situation; I've tried diffferennt things to turn him on, suchh as sending him flirty text messsages or greeting him in a speciial outfit when he gets home froom work. I feel he's tthe only one who can fix the problem. Even though we aree not intimate, I'm always tryingg to make sure he knows how handsome, sexy and smart I ffind him. Despite feeling negleccted in that way, I don't want him m to feel like I'm
not attracted to him. I'm just stuck and don't know how to get my point across anymore. Aside from no bedroom time, our relationship is great. (And before anyone writes in to suggest that his lack of interest is because he's cheating on me, I know for a fact that he is not.) -- Feeling Neglected Dear Feeling Neglected: There's a good reason we call it "intimacy." Sex helps couples bond. That's not simply a romantic notion but a scientific fact: The brain releases the hormone oxytocin during sex, which increases feelings of closeness and trust. Other activities can release oxytocin as well, such as hand-holding, hugs (that are at least 20 seconds long), cuddling and back rubs. Yo You might show affffection to your boyfriend in these ways, and ask that he do the same. This can help you foster feelings of intimacy right now. But the long-term necessary solution, as you have suggested, is for your boyfriend to talk with his doctor. There is absolutely no reason for him to be embarrassed. The doctor will not be shocked, as lack of libido is a common side efffect of many antidepressants. He or she can recommend some other medications and rule out other underlying health issues.
