Alt: Robert Downey Jr is frustrated because the thing he wanted, that he JUST DID successfully for a month is not turning out the same. The onservable outcome is not the same and there is a place he wants to get back to with chastity that he isn't at yet, and 8 days seems like a long time. He knows that, really, it's something he is not doing, or committing to, but still it is frustrating as all get out. He wants to be there for Mrs. Key, and he was hoping rather selfishly, that the lingerie he wore would be as exciting for her as it was for him. Instead, while she was ever patient, it triggered fair worries that I might be changing, that though a very, very slim chance, she didn't want there to be two Mrs. Keys. I reassured her thst was not happening, but I think it put a damper on her enjoyment. So, this leads to a frustration of a different kind in chastity than one normally expects. But we soldier on! Tomorrow is another day.

Vasectomies are one of the most underutilized forms of birth control, in part, because a lot of men are worried about the procedure having a number of negative effects on their sex lives. According to the American Urological Association, “many patients are concerned that vasectomy may cause changes in sexual function such as erectile dysfunction, reduced or absent orgasmic sensation, decreased ejaculate volume, reduced sexual interest, decreased genital sensation and/or diminished sexual pleasure.”But are these concerns founded? Do guys really need to be worried about vasectomies hurting...
