Y'know?
I've giving this a lot of thought lately and.......

We, well, some of us, men-folk of a certain age, we talk about " wanting female company, wanting a woman." And I wonder.
I was never the most sociable person, ever, I lost it with people a couple of life-times ago,  yes, I got those urges that plague and torment the male psyche, and we all had our way of temporarily relieving the tension until an opportunity presented  itself. You did it, I did it, still do I'm afraid but not so often nowadays.
My point is, in recent times, after knocking one off, my first thoughts are.... "Do I really need a woman?"

All this pea-cocking, and posturing, what's it all about eh? Do you REALLY want to be rutting in your sixties and seventies?
If, like me, you were never very lucky with the ladies way back in the day, are we just still trying to fulfill some kind of desire, fantasy, dream, whatever?
Maybe it's just part of who and what we are, a primal thing and we're just wired that way. Perpetuation of the species, "the sexual imperative " and all that.
I personally, think as I'm ageing, it would be nice to make a few female acquaintances but I wouldn't want too spend much time with them. Keep it short and sweet, just like knocking one off I suppose, but without the hassle. getting "down and dirty"......mmmmmmmmmm...... I really don't know. Never say never I suppose.

Life eh?
