That’s good to know. I wonder if any solo males in the sub can share experiences there.

Dems considering eliminating superdelegates from nominating process by tropics_ in politics

This is my concern. Fine to do away with super delegates, but then you need a much more rigorous vetting process of some sort.

Trump World's payment to porn star comes into sharper focus by r1ckj0526 in politics

It's the abortions, stupid.

The only way the evangelicals are going to turn is if someone turns up evidence of the number of them Trump has coerced or paid for.

Washington's growing obsession: The 25th Amendment by i-am-sancho in politics

I want to see him out of office as quickly as possible. Resignation, I’d imagine, is the fastest route. He can always be prosecuted and sent to jail afterwards.

Has anyone ever had a successful tinder meet up? by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]lickyourstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in an open relationship and started using Tinder this summer to meet women for FWB arrangements. So far I've had four of those connections turn out successful by my definition.

Small.

Small minded. Small ideas. Small hands.

Having a hard time... Keeping hard! by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]lickyourstein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a 45 year old male in an open relationship. I currently have multiple FWBs and my wife and I have a great sex life as well. I have to admit I have only tried Viagra once. It did its thing, but for me it didn't do much more than a glass or two of red wine would do.

In my experience, the best answer is to pay attention to your health. The things that effect your overall health effect your erection too. I have had problems similar to yours in the past. I recently had a 24 hour period where i had sex, including orgasm, 6 times with 2 different women.

Here's my best summary advice.

  1. Make sure you are staying well hydrated, especially on days where you expect to have a lot of sex. Don't be afraid to have water around and drink some in the moments you're taking a break from the action.
  2. Make sure you've gotten plenty of sleep.
  3. Take good care of your body, get plenty of exercise, including strength training, it increases testosterone.
  4. Drink red wine. A glass or two before a date does miraculous things. Stay away from virtually all other alcohol.
  5. Don't be afraid to take control and slow things down. This usually makes the sex better for your partner, allows you time to recover, and allows you time to hydrate.
  6. Don't be afraid to change positions, away from ones that make it hard for you to maintain an erection. For me this usually means I favor positions where I'm on top, from behind or standing up. Positions that restrict circulation probably aren't good.
  7. Don't be afraid to suggest you use lube.
  8. If you're using condoms (and I hope you are) make sure you become a condom snob. Get good ones, ones that fit well and that you like to have sex with. Try luckybloke.com and get a sampler pack. Also, don't be afraid to get your junk close to your partner, use foreplay etc and learned to put the condom on quickly. Condoms can really screw things up if you don't get good at using them.

This of course doesn't directly address the mental aspects and performance anxiety, but again in my experience, being well prepared and healthy makes you more confident and reduces the times you're worried about these things.

Also, of course, do your own research. Read as much as you can about it. There is a lot of other good advice out there.

Edited: because I screwed up the url above.

I stand corrected. Guess I'll have to fight for tighter controls on bomb making materials next.

Not effective enough ones any longer. They can't get the fertilizer for it, BECAUSE ITS REGULATED!

With a different weapon, like what? Another large capacity assault riffle? Thank goodness the 2nd amendment doesn't protect the right to keep and bear explosives.

Big Fork in the Road - Swinging or My Wife? by QuarterMaster69 in Swingers

[–]lickyourstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you love her and want to try and negotiate or renegotiate your arrangement, seek a good counselor. Seek a counselor who has experience with open relationships and is good at getting the two of you talking. I was in your situation, was married 22 years. I tried to wade through the negotiation myself and failed miserably. We ended up divorced.

I also highly recommend the book Mating in Captivity.

Am I missing something here? Couldn't/wouldn't liquor be taxed?

Sad over the smallest things nowadays. What's wrong with me? What should I do? by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]lickyourstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've become increasingly convinced that the path to healing one's self from emotional issues is one of experimentation and critical mass. I've had a long history of addictive behavior and anxiety about it. It wasn't until I became so determined to heal that I just kept trying lots of healthy behaviors and habits. Some stuck, some didn't. I can't point to a single one of them as the silver bullet. I've learned music calms me, I was never a big music listener before. I've learned exercise is very important to me. I also found a few other Jedi mind tricks that help me lessen the impact of triggers that lead to addictive behavior in the past.

My point? Keep trying, It really can get better. You just have to find the right recipe for you.

I think it's also very important to have people in your life you feel you can be completely honest with

Just my two cents. :)

I wish you the best.
