You're giving my words far too much weight. I'm saying, for example, "I never understood", not that nobody can understand. I don't even claimm to be in a majority. I should have been more careful to make that clear. It is a reflection on my situation, as you have pointed out quite well, in spite of your continual insistence that I'm getting nothing.

Your descriptions make it clear that your husband is very different from me, and not just in experience, but in what led us to have different experiences. Women have thrown themselves at me too, but I have more often chosen to "not indulge" even in my younger days. I thought that was the better decision at the time. But in retrospect, I might have been better off being more adventurous as your husband was in the early years.

Do you not see how possibly you and my husband could have a different attitude about sex? Is it not clear then that maybe he isn't masterbating once per day, since he's already had more sex than you will ever have in the rest of your life, including your daily masterbation, and he is younger than you?


I'm not completely convinced of the premise here, that if I'd had a lot of good partnered sex, I'd be far less interested in high frequency at this point. Hormones and biology often drive this sort of thing, not just one's experiences. How do you explain men who have had lots of good partnered sex and still want high frequency at age 60? And there are also health issues with having only a few ejaculations per month.

I have pointed this out to you before, yet you just simply forget what I've said and again revert to the notion that since you are the only example of a man you truly care about, your experience must be the same as other men.


Boy, you certainly have me in a box, from which I cannot get out of! ;-) I think I have not represented myself in a balanced way in my writings here, as most of my close friends, male and female, do not have that opinion of me. Written dialog can be unnecessarily provoking when there are differing opinions, missing immediate feedback, body language, and much better joining of the minds and emotions. I long ago stopped using e-mail at work to resolve any disagreements -- I think most people these days know that as a basic rule of e-mail etiquette.

And yet...you just simply assume that you must be right and I must be wrong, there can't be any information that you don't know that would change your mind...because of course, YOU base what you believe to be true on only yourself and your own experience.


The reason I read these forums is because I realize my view of things has been distorted by my experience, just as you point out.

I am also sorry for even responding to ssmguy yet again as it will not be retained in his memory anyway, and he will just go ahead thinking what ever he thinks regardless of the experience of others.


Am I not allowed to even think what I want to think? Or say what I think? I preface things by saying it's what I think, not that it's a fact. Yes, I find it very hard to understand how a man can go 10 days without sexual release. That's a reflection on me, not a statement of a larger truth.

I am sorry to everyone, as I feel strongly urged to pull away from this forum. I just can't get into it anymore without some of my old frequent posters. The place just ain't the same.


Your contributions here have obviously been very helpful to many here, including me. Would you prefer that I stop posting here, or questioning anything you say? I do see how my comments could be viewed as taking pot-shots at sincere comments you make, and that's not the effect I want to have.
