After a week we were intimate and it was very nice to feel that again after so long. But sadly I began to notice certain pitfalls that were looming ahead.

Not all of us are going to be blond cheerleaders or football players heading to state with fantastic grades.
The middle aged version of that being: not in the same health we were when we were 30 or having a tidy nest egg socked away.
I bet if you keep looking, you'll find someone happy to take walks in the park and snuggle on the couch.
In fact, men not being able to do it at all...isn't uncommon.

Sort of makes sense. Middle age is when all of one's bad health habbits start to catch up with you. Diabetes can steal more than eyesight and one's kidneys.
