My New Sexual Problem
How Medium helped me to discover my sex life is all wrong
These days everyone has to have something to complain about, and the very best topic for trouble is of course sexuality.
Until a few days ago I thought I was an exception to this general rule because I’ve always enjoyed sex, have few if any hangups about anything physical, and have very little ego investment in sexual performance.
But I was wrong. Oh boy, was I wrong.
I’m not suffering from Erectile Dysfunction (ED) even though in a few blinks of an eye I’ll be a very ancient sixty-one years of age. I can still go from “normal everyday life mode” to “hello darling” in thirty seconds or so and stay hard for a long, long time.
Which is, it turns out, the problem. Apparently I’m suffering from Delayed Ejaculation (DE).
And that, gentle reader, is apparently A Very Bad Thing Indeed. I learned all about DE via the Internet in a Medium article.
So it must be true.
Some context may be helpful before we go any further. If you’re sitting comfortably and have at least one defibrillator nearby, we can now delve into the murky recesses of my psyche with regards to sexual behaviors.
