    Yes, although I'm not sure how to describe what's in my mind. I'll just leave it at that.

    Three times in one night is pretty impressive!

    That was my contention as well.

    Yep. Twice in a night is all I can manage these days.

    Nup.
    As the apparatus dried up and lost it's elasticity, so did the libido.

      You know me; my flesh has always been willing . . .

    If you are asking if I have strayed yes I have.  Even in the best relationships or when I used to try not to and did not for months at a time.  Yes I guess weakness is the only way to characterize it.

  • You're the only one thus far who's got the intent of my question right.

  • Unfortunately I find the statement a bit relatable.  The degree to which the spirit was willing is probably up for debate though. The decision to work at it has a way of being more circumstance driven than spirit driven.  Hell even the weakness is probably not so much of the flesh as it is just the desire to be noticed.  Relationships (insert eye roll emoji)
