Be careful as fooling around with the male ego sex thing can be very dangerous especially in our fragile mental state during our Tx and into the recovery. I'm sure we're not all alike but I didn't need any external motivation and it wouldn't have helped when I was just plain unable to physically do what I mentally wanted to do and I think it would have frustrated me even more if my wife had tried to push me to soon. This may be one of those No Win situations.
