Looking Back
What We've Learned About Being Lovers

Keith, on experimentation . . .

[CONTINUED]

injections, but because I've learned how to be a more considerate and engaging lover.

Our sex now, while it has lost its spontaneity, has gained intensity. We have a sort of "meeting of the minds" as to when we're going to make love, and we block off time for it to happen. Days beforehand, we start hinting at what we have in mind. So the planning process itself actually intensifies our lovemaking.

Then there is the act itself. Because I no longer have to worry about "the puppy going down," I can concentrate on Gin more than I used to. And afterward I can extend the process to seconds, thirds and fourths for her - giving me the satisfaction of providing a level of sexual pleasure I didn't know I was capable of.

If I lost the ability to engage in intercourse, I know I could still be a great lover to Gin. I'd still be compassionate, caring, understanding, and physically giving in any way I could to make her feel good.

I've learned that there's no greater satisfaction in my life than for me to remain close and intimate with my wife.
