3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

Viagra, being out of patent, is at present considerably cheaper than Cialis, but has the disadvantage that you can't be spontaneous. With Cialis, you can take one a day and be ready for action all day. Viagra has to be taken on an empty stomach then after 1-2 hours gives you a 4-hour window of opportunity.

Consequently, Missus on deciding she was horny was regretfully declined last evening, so has booked an "appointment" for as soon as she gets in from work this evening. For a woman who enjoys her food, to delay it in order to get some action shows she's missing it!

What she doesn't know, and I see no point telling her, is that I CAN manage perfectly well on my own without any medication because the stimulation is "just right" and continuous. In the hands of a skilled woman, I could probably perform totally drug-free, at least for now. Sadly, Missus, though keen, is utterly inept. That magic blue tablet will keep things rigid during clumsy foreplay before the act itself. 
However this doesn't mean that I'm in any way unhappy or frustrated. We can at least work around the problem and it has no bearing on the love we have for each other. 

In the days when I'd get boners by thought and sight alone, and sometimes for absolutely no reason at all, I'd consider it an inconvenience, little realizing the considerably greater inconvenience when that no longer happens! Now, by sight and thought alone and without chemical assistance, I get a semi at absolute best!

Of course, for a fiftysomething man, I'm hardly unusual in this - about 50% have this issue at this age, and I think rather than shrivel into a corner in shame, embarrassment and self-pity, it's better to be accepting, open and honest. All things must pass and that includes virility. It does of course have an advantage - it makes an affair or any kind of infidelity highly unlikely, and other women are completely safe in my company! That's a distinct advantage for a therapist.

8. TRIVIA
Women’s magazines have 10.5 times more ads and articles promoting weight loss than men’s magazines do, and over 75% of women’s magazine covers include at least one article title about how to change a woman’s body by diet, exercise, or cosmetic surgery.

9. ZEN WISDOM
People who live a life of tenacity and challenge break through all the obstacles they face just as water eventually carves a path through rock. Be strong like constantly flowing water, ever moving forward.
