Very, very nice work. Classic TC.

This is the kind of stuff at which you stand at the top of the pile. Keep it up.

(Oh, please edit your article: it's "conformations")

Good morning,

As a 68 year old who is often confused by who looks back from the mirror I get it, still a girl not yet a woman to quote Britney Spears. The age related friendships, the endless lust for that special curvature. I am not a joiner but have decided to look at some joining. Groups that have multiple ages and legit interesting gatherings all while staying happily married. Anyhow I feel you TC.

On another note if in the Excited States of America the vote goes a certain way your Canadian roots call…

Thanks for your writing.

Interesting.................................. As George Bernard Shaw said: “Youth is the most beautiful thing in this world—and what a pity that it has to be wasted on children!”

Heya,

Raquel Welch...there I said it. A bit later on, Pam Grier...and ALL those lovely Playboy centerfolds, hell, the writing was all that and a bag of chips too. Seriously, you could do a "who's who" of great writers that filled Playboy over the decades.

Being 62, I do have Peter Pan Syndrome, throughout my life I still have the delight, wonder and enthusiasm for a great deal, especially my wife, the chocolate colored love of my life. Having said that, I have always appreciated the other forms, sizes, colors, etc. of those of the opposite sex, and will hopefully do so till the day I pass. (Hopefully not in some sick dementia filled way)

This whole longevity journey while trying to be as big and strong as possible seems to be a confusion of the senses at times. My body from the neck down looks 30-40 year old top flight bodybuilder from the 70's (currently), and as John said, the face that looks back in the mirror...well, who the hell is that? Having not been natural for 48 years, I'm a raging hormone 24/7 as is, so yes, I am NOT your average old fart, lol. Just saying my sexuality isn't diminishing with age, it's evolving.

This whole internet porn thing has transformed the way almost every man of a "certain" age now approaches his sexuality, and it's not always a happy story. I know a plethora of men who's lives, their families (past pretense) have imploded with their addiction to what's on that screen, and the ideas/ideals that they now hold to "normal women". That is the 800 pound gorilla in the room, and I have seen the fall out firsthand.

Is it nostalgia to think the days of Playboy and the like was a better, simpler time?

Just a rambling post I know, tends to happen with my insomnia at times, hope you all have a wonderful weekend, while here in Minnesota we're digging out from the 1st snowfall of the season...meh.

Take care.
