Sorry that's not funny.

Is it an erection thing as I am sure there is a forum on erectile dysfunction, try those guys - they'll probably have loads of advice!

i have been on anti depressants for 8 years and libido and....more importantly finishing....have never been the same. getting going is no problem, finishing is. which is really weird because this goes against the way more common isse that people suffer from..either not being able to get going, or finishing too fast...
you have to have converstation with partner about this because it can cause lots of guilt and rejection issues, but it will get better

so, i can offer an advice on reaching a big O when i comes to women.

i dont know if it is related, because our plumbing is so different.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
