There’s No Bone in your Boner
Don’t read this if the word “penis” offends you, because I’m going to use it a lot.
Men are penis oriented. Guys know very little about penises, and yet they think of them all the time. Insecurity about their penises constantly torments them. It’s as if their penis defines the fundamental nature of their manhood.
“God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.”
— Robin Williams
Men know almost nothing about their male appendage; women are also ill-informed. What little men know about their dicks they have obtained in locker rooms, by watching porn, or from reading erotic books. These are not the ideal sources for learning about healthy sex.
I hate the term, “sexual performance” because it sounds like we’re expecting applause or a standing ovation when we finish.
When I was about sixty, my sexual function began to change. Erections were less predictable, and I couldn’t always ejaculate. Sometimes I would lose my erection during sex, and the only fucking that I was capable of was a mind fuck.
