ED and a new woman . . . ? Sheesh
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2013 11:19 pm
Ok guys, I've got a problem and I welcome any opinions or comments.
Per my sig, I had PC surgery 8 months ago at age 61, and am still pretty much impotent. Unfortunately my mind still works like it did when I was a teenager. I started using a VED and taking Cialis right after New Year's, and it has helped some although I still could not penetrate much more than a bowl of oatmeal. I have a routine appt. with my uro coming up on March 15.
Having cancer pretty much devastated me emotionally. Pre-op all I could think about was dying of cancer. Post-op I was incontinent for 3-4 months and could think of nothing else. The fact that I had cancer was almost forgotten. Sex hardly crossed my mind, and when it did it wasn't really serious. The pissing problem has gradually gotten under control (for the most part) and I had pretty much given up on the idea of sex or of any female involvement. Two failed marriages and countless relationships left me pretty cynical about the whole idea. These thoughts actually started around '08, long before the PC diagnosis, when the last serious relationship I had went on the rocks. The last few months I've been pretty content, for once in my life, about the whole idea of not being involved with a woman -- although I don't care for the emotional loneliness.
Now comes the dicey part. I am self-employed and my main customer is a few miles away. They employ around 45 people and I am in and out of the place, depending on what's going on; I may be there several times a week, I may not go there at all for weeks. So there's this woman who works there (haha, you knew that was coming, didn't you?) that is smoking hot. I'm a sucker for perfect asses and she has one. Not to mention long, dark, curly hair -- another one of my weak spots. I really just met her a couple of weeks ago, and we've only been smiling and saying "hi" to each other in the past week or so.
She was joking around with me today and I am 95% sure she wants to get laid. And so, the obvious problem. There are a few guys there (including the owner) who know I had PC. I have no idea if she knows. I have asked a couple of the guys that work there more about her, and I have little doubt that my inquiries have gotten back to her. So she knows I'm interested -- as her behavior today seems to suggest.
What to do? I can feel myself being drawn to ask her out. I can't really stop myself; it's typical of me -- no real will power at all when it comes to alluring women. If that happens, at what point do I tell her how useless I am? Heh, I know that nobody can really answer that, but give me your thoughts anyway.
I'm curious about the prick shots. I'm thinking of asking my uro about it when I go in next month. I've read some of your posts here by users and they seem to be the best option for me right now. Agree? But another part of me says to not bother with this woman (although that would be extremely difficult to do as it stands now) because it could be nothing more than a fling, and considering my condition, it is not worth disrupting my fairly contented life. This would all be different if I was in a committed relationship -- as those of you who are would probably agree.
Damn it.
