He's in his mid-forties and so am I. Which, of course means, he is video working all the time and doesn't care about sex, video while I am being driven crazy by hormones.

Now let's discuss: life was so much more civilized when human beings didn't talk about such things, but simply took care of the problem with a few discreet affairs on the side.
