Thanks Civil. I am 38 and never had anything like this happen before...it may just be in my head..a little anxiety because she is incredibly beautiful. My concern is "needing" those blue pills. It's hell getting old...lol Originally Posted by brady

Also, recommend (author) Bernie Zilbergeld's "The New Male Sexuality". Solid practical info, not dubious off-the-seat-of-the-pants remarks from strangers. Originally Posted by NorthWood

Funny you should ask.
My ATF was visiting Her sister up in Conroe, we decided to get get together last night. I told Her I could just drive up, get a room for the night off 242, just like a real guest.

We met there, went to the Red Lobster for a great meal, spent a long time there, just enjoying ourselves. Got back to Hotel about 8, and had a good evening BCD. She was leaving about 11, I told Her I would just stay there and get a good nights sleep. She then asked if I would like for her to come back at about 6 in the morning. You bet.

Well, it has been a LONG time since I had a great night of BCD activity and then the same less than 7 hours later. I was very concerned, when I heard the knock on the door this morning, I was full of anxiety. (Keep in mind, in one month I will be 64).

I think she sensed this, and took over, and with Her skills, and my wanting to, everything went great.

Of course, I can barely walk right now. But what the heck.

Went to see a girl I've been talking to (which has since become a long distance relationship). Found myself having a hard time getting it up which is crazy because she is gorgeous. This has me worried. Hoping I can hear from someone who has experienced it and been able to overCOME. ANY and all advice is greatly appreciated! Originally Posted by brady

Different Bernie. This one was the real fcking deal, THE expert on this subject imo. Here's a link to his obituary which lays out his CV etc. I assume you're making funny, Blowpop? It's not very funny to the anxious.

I know someone who had a specialized performance anxiety problem so bad, constant, and devastating that he spent a year talking to a psychologist on a weekly basis about it without relief. A job transfer put a stop to the counseling. He stumbled upon Bernie's book a little while later, read it, the next time he had an opportunity he wooded up and fcked like normal+, and never looked back. I think the book cost him about $30 hardback. Seems like decent value to me.
