Wiley, It's also just the natural
part of aging. The hormone levels go down and so does the energy and desire. Sadness I'm sure also effects things. But I find your writing and photos as open and honest as could be. It's why I like to read it.

"I always felt the pressure of my own sexuality - from the earliest thread of memory, to seek out and engage in sexual activity was at the root of my unrelenting energy. A force that I have had to reckon with all my life. "

I am trying to catch up your memoires, how delightful to read this honesty that I relate to so well but could not have written. Yes, that too was an unrelenting energy for me, and now as an older man, I miss even having the "desires" I once had. Perhaps it's being alone again now for five years that has killed that unrelenting enrgy in me. I feel a certain sadness.

benzinah, it's also a matter of hormones,
not just choice.

provocative. I was so very sexual so very young. So glad to have given it
all up. There is so much else to do on Earth and it is such a small part of the vast curriculum. Though I had to perfect it all before throwing it away.

Thanks Straightforward,
I have been working on this memoir for some time now and hope to finish it before I'm dead.
