The Things We Do For Love (© 10cc)

[Mr Garmin]

In the animal world it's known that the male of many species will go to enormous lengths to get his end away, even accepting certain death sometimes.

I'm now at a point in life where I'm no longer controlled quite so heavily by my little brain, there was a time when I would drive literally half way across the country for a good shag, but I don't have that dedication anymore.  To my shame, while a very young and horny man, I drove while completely pissed just to get my end away, I still shiver about doing that even today.  There is a quote that I first heard attributed to George Melly that "losing his libido was like being unchained from a madman" although it apparently actually goes back to Socrates.

I still look in here every day and I have a few girls on my hot list that I'll try to go out of my way to see but I no longer have the inclination to jump through hoops just to meet a girl that may or may not disappoint, despite her reputation.

I know that many on here describe losing their mojo from time to time and the advice is often to leave it alone for a bit.  I  think that I'm beyond this stage.  I had a health incident last year that combined with another major change in my life has conspired to reduce my desire and I've woken up and looked in the mirror and an ugly old man looks back at me and I can no longer trick myself that I'm desirable.  I've never considered myself attractive, nor have I had a problem using my resources (cash) to fuck sexy young girls, it's a transaction where we both get what we want.  But something has changed.

It's made me think, I now go through my day without the almost constant thought of who to shag and this means that I can actually concentrate on my work and I get a tremendous amount done.  This has made me wonder just what I could have achieved in life if I hadn't been distracted by pussy all the time.  I can also comprehend how the dutiful wife who, having done her job of producing children, completely loses interest in the physical side of the marriage and joins the local sewing circle.

Am I alone or can others on here relate to this?  Or are you all too young to understand?

No, seems about the way of it. I have lost me mojo a tad but a young minx awakened it  other night, can't review her but having the  kids and joining sewing circles are the way of it with some ladies..

I'm still a randy bastard, but I am early fifties - guessing the OP is older than that.

At your age I was like a rat up a drain.

As recently as a couple of years ago I'd drive 250 miles/4+hours to meet up with a retired escort because I knew how good it was going to be.  I can't see me ever having the drive to do that again.

Firstly, great post and thanks for sharing. The first bit made me laugh regarding the animal world and is very true. Fair play for the honesty and taking ownership for the drink driving part. I'm sorry to read about your health incident. I hope that you're well and ok now. A few points of this post certainly does resonate with myself, especially the part that you mentioned about being able to go about your day as normal these days. I too have more self control now, but I have gone through them stages in the past of being so horny on almost a daily basis to the point of me not being able to concentrate on my work with that overwhelming feeling and need to book young & beautiful SP's. I do however grapple with it from time to time still. Sometimes, it's the thoughts about the things that I've done with various SP's that regularly come into my mind, especially the SP's that are really dirty in the bedroom. Plus, the convenience of how easy it usually is for me to book young and very beautiful SP's that makes it so difficult for me to switch off from it at times. Btw, the alias of Mr Garmin and your avatar now makes complete sense with all of that travelling and miles that you've covered I have travelled out a bit in the past myself but not too far out. I'm lucky with being located in Birmingham as it has a wide range of SP's to choose from that means I have no urgency to travel.

I echo Paul9144's thoughts regarding yourself Mr G.
Yes, having the means to indulge in our glorious game doesn't mean that you always have the urge or inclination to do so when you reach a certain time of your life. This is especially so when you have done all the things that you wanted to do (well in my case).
I am over 60 and still have a strong libido. This is helped by a good diet, drinking good whiskey, and taking sufficient exercise to keep trim. However, I no longer feel the need or desire to constantly search on line for my next booking with an escort.
When I do feel the desire to make such an occasion, which is now more infrequent than it used to be, I tend to book a longer session and take my time enjoying the moment, like Paul9144, sticking with my local Birmingham area.
Hopefully Mr G, you will feel a strong desire again to participate from time to time in this glorious game.

I now have more years than Heinz have varieties, and as I came to terms with my fifth decade, I indulged in a threesome with two very bisexual beauties and it dang near finished me off. Whatever will the spirit had, the portly flesh and a lifetime's lack of exercise took their toll. I told both that this would be my last hurrah, going out with a bang.
There was a period of abstinence of a few years, where only massages were used to get my fancy tickled, then I decided to test my resolve with massage SPs that did FS. To coin other 10cc tracks, I'm not in love and hope to never say, good morning judge.
Thanks for sharing how you may have reached your destination, Mr G. EM

Thanks for the mention there Steve

You've also touched on some very good points here, and I like how you've thrown some good whiskey into it to which I concur.

A good diet and training regimen is very important too as you mentioned

[Steve1961]

My pleasure Paul 

Long may we continue to feel the urge to participate in this glorious game enjoying some great whisky along the way

'I've woken up and looked in the mirror and an ugly old man looks back at me and I can no longer trick myself that I'm desirable'.

^^^^^
That's the whole point of punting OP. You just need the ££££'s. This is what makes you 'desirable'
