Libidus Maxidus Blog

Good word, folks!

Hey, Old Duffer Al feels pretty sprite today, and that my friends is damned good news.

Today, I'd like to tell you about a reader who has a ball-buster for a wife (my opinion.)

You see, this gal is 10 years younger than "Joe," and loves and needs sex. So far, so good, right? Not so - if she doesn't have sex at least once per week, she flies into a fit, throws anything available, including knives, tables, books, well...almost anything at hand.

And, even when she does have all of the above available, she still physically assaults Joe.

Now, then, Joe is an old fashion old duffer, so he won't haul off and give the wife a proper berating. Nope, not Joe, he simply makes a go for the door as quickly as he can get her to let go of him.

Once he has done that, he's gone. Seems he has a house in the country where he goes when she goes into one of her sex rages.

He's been living there for nearly 2 months with little contact with the wife. I smell impending divorce...

Naturally, his wife blames him for her rages %100. She says he's withholding sex as a form of punishment. Bullshit, calls Joe.

Old Joe knows well the benefits of sex: the feelings of connection and love for your mate, but his desire for his wife is flagging. He says she has gained a lot of weight, and when he hugs her it feels like he's hugging a fullbacker, not a woman.

Joe has told her that he is beginning to have desire problems, but she just can't understand that and continues to beat hell out of him.

Well, that's Joe's vision of his wife, which tells me that he, too, is one of many men who just can't have sex with just anyone.

How many of us are with our wives say...downtown, when we happen along a stunning woman - eye candy, I've heard youngsters call it. Naturally, our wives pale in comparison, as do we with younger men. Nevertheless, that image of a woman is what we desire, and who we would really love to love.

Try to tell your wife that it's biological for a man to desire a younger, more attractive woman, and you'll get your ass kicked properly.

Still, a wife is a wife, not an old shirt to be discarded after many wearings.

Not surprisingly, I've had more than a few readers write to me stating that they've got ED and how do they deal with it. After a few questions from Old Duffer Al, I've usually found out that they do not suffer from ED at all, rather, they suffer from a lack of desire for their mates.

How do we deal with our lack of desire for our mates and how do we explain that to them without getting thrown out of the house or worse???

Well, I believe it might be ruinous to your relationship should you tell her that you don't desire her the way you used to.

On the other hand, if you don't, how in the world will she know what's going on in that head of yours? She might begin to blame herself and that's when the fun really begins.

A genuine Catch 22 if ever there were one...

Here's my advice, which will cost you nothing. Try experimenting with the various ED/desire meds. Keep in mind, however, that the PDE-5s will do nothing for your desire, so don't begin there.

My regular readers know that Old Duffer Al does a Libidus Maxidus cocktail: libidus maxidus for desire, and a PDE-5, usually Levitra, to maintain an erection.

That works for me, but you must find what works for you!

Eventually, you'll find your answer. If not, well, buy a house in the country and get ready for anything.

Al, the Oldest Duffer of them all.

Hey folks,

Tired Old Duffer Al is back at the crusty old helm of this flatulent dingy for what's it's worth...

Excuse my ramblings...I do a lot of that these days.

I just want to go on record that Libidus Maxidus is still working okay for me after all these years. However, the older I get, the less effect I feel, so I'm having to increase my Libidus Maxidus cocktail: 100mg Cialis with 3 caps Libidus/Maxidus.

Getting old, contrary to what the Chinese believe, is no picnic, folks. Your thinking stays young, but your body simply refuses to cooperate.

Anywho...I'm going to attempt to post at least once per week if my fingers agree to it.

And with that, I'll see you soon!

Crusty Old Al.

Good day, readers!

Today, I'd like to address an issue - more of a query, actually, that I've been getting from the women folk.

We all know that there are a boat-load of medications, both herbal and non-herbal, out there in sexual dysfunction land to treat men. In addition, if we men experience sexual libido/desire issues, we have options like testosterone, including Androgel and Testim.

Well, folk, seems the ladies have been left high and dry, so to speak. Where in hell are all the medical options for them? Will we ever have a little pink pill?

Seems we're nearing that event. Intrinsa, a testosterone patch for women, is being developed by a company which shall go nameless here for over 2 years. The patch works, folks, but the idiots at the FDA haven't approved it yet.

And while the FDA muddles about in typical FDA fashion, the Intrinsa patch has been given the big OK in Europe and will soon be available to our enlightened neighbors to the north - Canada. Sure makes you wonder about the FDA...

Meanwhile, other nameless pharmaceutical firms are hard at work developing other, non-hormonal meds for the ladies, which go by the monkier, FSD - female sexual dysfunction.

Flibanserin, one drug now in Phase III clinical trials (an advanced stage of testing in humans), acts on the central serotonin and dopamine systems in the brain. Various forms of the dopamine receptor agonist apomorphine are being studied but there are problems with nausea that must be overcome. Another promising drug, bremelanotide, is inhaled through the nose and acts rapidly on receptors in the brain. It is now being tested in humans in Phase IIA and IIB trials. Finally, tibolone is another hormone-based drug popular in Europe and now being tested in the U.S.

The above are but a few of the meds being considered for the ladies. There exists a pretty damn big pipeline of meds, and, sooner or later, one of them is bound to be approved in the USA. As we're all aware, sexual dysfunction means big dollars and cents!

I'm going to begin a search of any online pharmacies that sell intrinsa, so the ladies can bypass the FDA crap and order overseas, like I do with Cialis.

Hang in there, ladies, Old Duffer Al to the rescue! Just hope I don't kick the tire before I find something.

Best of health to all!

Old Duffer Al

Hi folks!

Yes, Al is back at the helm...for what it's worth.

In today's blog, I'll address Testosterone drop and how it effects aging. Something (aging) of which I'm very aware of ):

Now then, physicians that treat soldiers who have experienced defeat in combat, oddly enough, have given that defeat a name: "defeated army" syndrome. Although semantically odd, this syndrome is characterized by a significant lowering of serum testosterone levels. These days, resarch suggests that much less dramatic lifestyle changes can have a significant effect on male testosterone levels as well.

A study that I recently read, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology, followed 1,600 men in the Boston area for more than 17 years. Over time, the authors observed events and behaviors that appeared to speed up the expected loss of testosterone that comes as men get older.

Some testosterone-lowering events, like the death of a spouse, were beyond the control of the study subjects. However, the researchers observed that even small increases in body mass index (BMI) were associated with a drop in testosterone levels that was equivalent to 10 years of aging! Such changes in testosterone levels put men at substantially higher risk for diabetes, loss of muscle and bone mass, and if severe enough, sexual dysfunction, which is no surprise to old duffer Al.

The authors concluded that preventable factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, excessive alcohol use, and other behaviors can result in rapid declines in serum testosterone equivalent to a much more rapid aging process. This process can be prevented, however, by making appropriate lifestyle choices.

Yeah, like old Al is going to give up drinking? Not likely, folks, not likely! To borrow from the younger generation: Johnny Walker rocks! Oh, oh, time for a drink...

Anywho...I'm reminded of the words of another old duffer, Aristotle: "moderation in all things."

Time to do a bit more walking/jogging? Hell, Old Al gets plenty of that while casting about on the rivers for those damned fish that he never seems to catch. I walk about 10 miles a week retrieving flys that somehow? get hung up in the bushes, rocks, trees, dogs, and just about everything else and in between.

Maybe time to have your Testosterone level checked? Old Man Al thinks so.

Now where's that Johnny Walker?
