ain't that the truth? {sigh}

been off-line for a few days, so I've had to catch up on the last couple of pages. Dom's first comment on "what its like" to have ed, my instantaneous reaction: spoken like a guy who has never had a problem. then, forward a few posts, and...yes, that is indeed the explanation.

So, I feel now that it is my responsibility, as a member of this community, AND as an owner of this equipment, AND as someone who as actually experienced this situation, to state the following:

Lil is right.

Dom is wrong.

In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that in all the stuff that Lil has posted on the subject over the years, I haven't ever seen a single comment that was even the teensiest, weensiest bit "not true". I haven't read her books, but I'm willing to bet cash-money that they're perfectly fine, too.

Dom, a single incident in 40 years is "nothing". When it happens regularly, repeadedly, over a period of many months, to the point of actually being "predictable"...you'd see it in a whole new light.

oh, and "going to the doc" just ain't that easy. one article I was reading recently said that they estimate that 90% of the men who could benefit from some form of ED treatment, don't. Most people who actually experience this won't even speak of it, let alone "seek help" for it.
Then there are those of us for which there isn't much help available from medicine. So these pat answers, like "well, duh, go to the doc" are just extraordinarily annoying.
and "just do oral"...that isn't always an option, either. Its just not that easy.
