I got a shot of procrit last week and it made me feel so good I had memory flashbacks and chased my wife around the house.

Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 248 | Ginny and deborah- The reasons I do not kiss anymore is my lack of saliva and thick secretions are gross to me so I'm not going to be sticking my tongue into my wife's mouth.I think the reason I got sick has to do with no enzymes from saliva. I had xrt so my condition will never get better. I'm going to the dentist to get my 7th and 8th teeth pulled soon. the othodontist refuses to pull anymore without Hyperbaric Tx. and my ENT refuses to let me have it so my dentist will have to pull them for me. My Dental issues are getting worse every yr, but I still have my sense of humor---"confused and never been kissed", but I'm living the big man's dream- straight to sex without all that kissing stuff.

When the thought of my dearest husband not being immortal occured, I panicked and decided this was the time to drop the inhibitions, spice up the wardrobe, stock the bookshelves. Whatever I could think of to ease whatever misery may lie ahead. A couple down weeks during treatment is all he suffered. Ice princess turned to popcicle princess and when life hands you lemons, squeeze for the lemonaid. Enjoy!
Guys, if you can dish it out, be prepared to receive the "back at ya!"

Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 493 | Amy, To quote the full Monty aren't you supposed to leave your hat on? Princess, I showed your post to my wife and told her that's the attitude to have. Maybe she'll go shopping tomorrow  David, You are the man! You didn't put any of this in your 4 month update though. And My Friend Mark, Sorry about all your dental problems. I never minded the kissing it was the talking while I was trying to sleep afterwards. Is there a side effect I can use for that? Hope I didn't offend anyone. Goodnight Tim

Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 248 | The final voting has not been tallied but as of now we have a tie between Eilleen and Ginny for the site's Sex Symbol. Please do not give up ladies as the final voting is not in. Although at this moment I would have to give a slight edge to Eileen due to the fact that she is a 2 time cancer survivor. "All in fun". To my good friend Tim when your wife talks during sex thats when you enter my world.

All I know is I got to find a way to get to Arkansas, New York and Ohio to conduct my own due diligence before I can vote.
Any other states interested in my independent, discreet and thorough testing? LOL
