Early this month I started a discussion about my recent virility issues: high PSA count, a swollen and tender testicle, occasional difficulty in climaxing even from BBBJs (which used to be a sure-fire way to get me off!), and, most disturbingly, infrequent erections.
I have mostly good news to report on these issues:
- I visited a urologist on Tue and got some encouragement. My PSA count has dropped from 13 in late October to 3 a couple of days ago, where the normal range is 0-4. Apparently the high count in October was related to the swollen testicle and epididymitis that I was experiencing at that time. Also, my testosterone level of about 380 was in the normal range of 240-830, though a bit on the low side. The urologist was sufficiently unconcerned that he doesn't want to see me again until late April.
- After weeks with no orgasms and very few erections, I visited four strip clubs last Thu-Fri in Washington Park (two each on Thu and Fri afternoons). Mostly I just watched stage dances or got a few lappers, but at Wise Guys on Fri I spent considerable time with a zaftig and friendly young stripper who got very handsy in the front room, awakening Little Deuce to a remarkable degree. I alluded to my recent difficulties and told her I would tip her $40 on a $180 VIP room if she could get me off. She admirably rose to what we called the Orgasm Challenge (as did I).. I'm back, baby!
So instead of worrying about prostatitis or even prostate cancer, I am going to try to improve my sexual performance with lifestyle changes. I've lost 20 pounds and plan to lose about 35 more. I've started walking long distances almost every day and plan to start working out in the new year; and I'm looking for ways to reduce the stress level in my life.
Thanks to everyone who expressed concern or had helpful advice. I am open to ideas about natural ways to increase virility.
