Mike you’re right. In the end, the advice of older men that we ALL ignored �don’t get married� is still the best advice. Both you (and in a way, your wife) will both end up disappointed. I used to think this is �sad�. I don’t know.

I didn’t find true sexual desire and pleasure for many years after I had become sexually active. I didn’t feel forced to do things per se, I was sure I wanted to do them at the time, but looking back at my experiences with some honesty, I can see how my mind forced my body to perform. (more…)
