Category: Personal Reflections and Diary

Thinking about the words of younger guys of late. Makes me remember how it felt to be sixteen and seventeen around girls and so thankful that mine ‘put out’ so to speak. At the time I thought the whole testosterone thing was a burden – like a drug that wouldnt wear off – but there is really nothing so good as that feeling running through your body. You feel like superman, your body will do nearly anything you ask of it, and you are crazy enough to try it. And the sight and smell and touch of girls is just awesome. It starts dissipating after twenty one or twenty two, which is somewhat of a relief on the one hand, but disappointing on the other – because nothing ever looks, smells, and feels so good in life as the opposite sex when you are just loaded with testosterone, and everything is new and exciting and so rich in sensation. Times have changed but at least in the late 70’s a little cash, a car, a couple of friends, and some girls was pretty freaking wonderful. By contrast life is so much better now, but those sensations have to be found in more subtle experiences. Although I gotta say, that being attracted to a woman never seems to lose its luster. Women are awesome. 🙂
