Desire in Women: Lead to Sex or Result From It? »
The conventional wisdom is that desire precedes sexual arousal. This works for most men. Men are often coiled springs of desire and easily aroused. Men often describe their libido as a drive similar to hunger or thirst. Twentieth-century sexologists assumed that women’s libido was, if not identical, then similar–and that if women 
Being A Great Lover – At Any Age »

Yes, of course I’m riffing on Anne Koedt’s famous 1970 work, The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm, an icon of modern feminism.

Personal Narrative: Like Counting Raindrops »
When I glance at the bedside clock I realize that we have been making love in one way or another for nearly three hours now. I am filled with a certain secret smugness that I am still going strong. It has probably been decades since I’ve done anything quite like this. Yes, I am over 60 now … |

I was recently forwarded a question about oral sex that I don’t recall ever seeing before, despite my many years in the medical profession. Oral sex performed on a well-aged man is different from same act performed on a younger man. Less of a mouthful; sometimes no ejaculate at all. Most women, I think, would regard this as a plus aslong as the man is pleasured. Downside: over a certain age, most men–some say all men–have prostatic cancer, albeit at a non-life-threatening level. Is their ejaculate in any way toxic? Maybe it’s the world’s stupidest question, but I bet it lurks widely: Can a woman get cancer by swallowing prostatic cancer cells?\ Great Question that I doubt anyone has a categorical correct answer for, BUT I would doubt greatly that the semen of a man with prostate cancer could be considered carcinogenic.The rigors that any substance has to withstand in traversing the very acidic environment of the stomach and digestive system make it unlikely that any molecule would retain any viablity.The induction of any new cancer is now felt to require a whole host of facilitating steps, so that even were a stray malignant cell to penetrate the gastrointestinal barrier, it is impossible to think that it could create mischief. A separate but interesting fact is that semen has distinct antibiotic properties, so that one could speculate that an ejaculate is like a capsule or shot of antibiotic. I have never heard of this property being exploited therapeutically, but its cheap! |
