    This tweet does not understand the difference between libido and erection. I’m happy for him that he’s so ignorant. I wish the same for all of you, truly.

    Because erectile dysfunction is when you’re plenty horny but the flag keeps going up and down anyway. ED pills do not make you horny, they help your vascular system direct the blood where it needs to go to keep the flag raised. They only work when you are already aroused.

    When you take one before date night, you might feel a little flushed but that’s it. You don’t immediately get hard out of nowhere. Your nutsack tyrant doesn’t materialize next to you with a hammer and whip like a demon ready to slave drive you into machismo.

      Interesting. I had no idea they worked like that.

      Sounds like taking melatonin for sleep. It’s not going to put you to sleep unless you’re in a sleepy headspace

        And when date night progresses to the right point, you’ve got 99.8% the hardest hard you’ve ever had. A cat couldn’t scratch it.

    Erection pills don’t make you horny just like erectile dysfunction doesn’t mean you aren’t horny as hell, you just can’t do anything about it and that generally makes you more horny and frustrated.

    Edit: this was directed at the guy on X just to be clear. I suck at this. End edit.

    Uggggh why always with the weird hyperfocus on sex? It’s so unnecessarily weird.

    Just take care of business in whatever way works for you (consenting adults, that’s the check mark) and move on with your fucking day ffs. And leave other people alone about your weird obsessive hang ups. Jeezes fuck.

    I knew a guy that did this with his gf regularly. They’d take a full day off, phones off, he’d pop a viagra and they’d both do a molly.

      I’ve never found MDMA to be sexual. Yeah, you like physical contact, and definitely feel the love, but it never made a horndog out of me. I think that’s an old wives tale, and I’ll say I’ve got plenty of experience over the last 15+ years.

        He was also the dealer, so no, I do not and never did.

        Though, FWIW, entirely not recommended for long-term practice. That much molly regularly can really mess up your brain chemistry. It didn’t end well for them, but she was also a depressed wreck.

    I’m 60. They are useful for recreational purposes. Going one round is not a problem, but the second round? I used to measure refractory periods in minutes, then hours. Now I could use a calendar.

      Yeah plus extreme depression and negative self image gave me the peace that is being referred to more than impotency ever did

    Enjoy the peace of impotency? Surely he doesn’t think his penis actually has a brain right? Its your brain that makes you horny, and it will still make you horny even if the equipment don’t work anymore.

    If you’re that horny-brained that its causing you stress, your best option (aside from therapy, cause that’s expensive) is to get offline and find a hobby to distract your mind with.

      Yes exactly! That’s why I go offline to go bird watching as a hobby! Occasionally, as a treat, I’ll peep in on naked adults with their curtains open.

      Plato, Republic, Book I, Cephalus’ speech:

      How well I remember the aged poet Sophocles, when in answer to the question, How does love suit with age, Sophocles⁠—are you still the man you were? Peace, he replied; most gladly have I escaped the thing of which you speak; I feel as if I had escaped from a mad and furious master. His words have often occurred to my mind since, and they seem as good to me now as at the time when he uttered them. For certainly old age has a great sense of calm and freedom; when the passions relax their hold, then, as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one mad master only, but of many.
