Sex just isn't worth the trouble

At age 16-17 I learned the mechanics of sex, from there on I had no difficulty to find willing, attractive partners. Much later, I started to restrict myself to my marital duties and then gradually, the burning interest in sex started to dissipate. I let myself grow flabby and obese.

Now that I have lost about 25 kg and regained my decided macho walk, I am facing a new situation. Fifty years old women are being too friendly and inviting to me, tempting me with gastronomical and other delights. This morning, a light-grey eyed aging beauty trapped me in her intimate office and engaged me in an interminable, rambling chat on everything (I couldnt cut her dry because I came to collect a cheque and she is the accountant). I am a friendly, sociable person, but this struck me as bizarre. I understood she was divorced and lonely. As one gets older, the number of healthy, presentable men relative to the number of healthy and lonely women grows exponentially. My estimate is that there are at least seven "desperate housewives" searching for me. Given my low level of interest, some other man is having to deal with fourteen healthy, attractive, dynamic ladies out there.

If you'd stop starving yourself, maybe you wouldn't face this problem.

But you should stop starving yourself anyway.

Yes, but what would be the point?

If you were older, you would understand me.

How long has it taken you to drop 25 kgs? And what weight are you now? (Since your pseudonymous, I figure it's OK to ask.)

What would be the point of having enough vigor to enjoy some sexy time? Am I missing something? It's great that you want to reach a healthy weight, but you've got to do it in a healthy way, with the right balance of diet and exercise. This isn't rocket science.

My father got pretty fat between his mid 20s and late 50s, about 115 kg. Then he got diabetes and almost died, so he took control and started walking several km every day and eating really carefully, and he lost about 75 kg over a couple years. You can do this too (stay away from the diabetes, though, if you can help it).

Your fasting sounds exceedingly dangerous. I'm of the opinion (not supported by any research I've read) that it's probably better to be overweight than not to give your body the nutrients it needs.

'At age 16-17 I learned the mechanics of sex'

Does this mean you lost your virginity at this young age? I just thought that someone as intelligent as you would have lost it later.

Or earlier.

Keep starving, man-pretty soon, it'll be 25-35 year olds chasing you. We'll see if your monastic detachment lasts then.

You have discovered my secret plan ! :-)

You are losing weight too fast. There has to be protein loss as well here, and this you do not want.

Dr Rasputin (now in Moscow) said it is all "shtuyot" (nonsense).

Was he a second opinion in the Michael Jackson case?
