October 2008 - October 3rd – Registered for the forum. Where I am today. Isn’t that just the question everyday? What is it that compels a man, in mid-life, to start making internet adult toy purchases? Compels a man to experiment with anal devices, become an expert on lubes, fish oil and various mid-extremity muscle groups?
