"So, you seem healthy for a man your age. You're healthy for a man half your age. Was there anything else?"
"Well, Doctor, there is one problem," Mark mentioned reticently.
"You see, I met this woman a while ago. It's the first girl I've, you know, been with since I was married and things just aren't the same."
"Having erectile difficulties?" the doctor asked.
"No, not at all. Almost the opposite," Mark paused to collect his words, "It has no problem getting up and staying up, it just takes so long to... finish."
"I'm not sure what you mean. Don't be shy," the doctor asserted.
"It takes a lot longer to cum than it used to. I mean, it can take an hour, sometimes two, of, you know, fucking."
"That's a problem? Your girlfriend must love it," the doctor said jokingly.
"Let's just say that, after the first hour, it loses it's charm."
"Have you tried different positions?"
"Are you kidding? It's like gymnastics. She's an animal in bed and out of bed, too. I can't figure it out. She's gorgeous and sexy and I can't look at her without getting turned on but my dick just doesn't want to get the job done."
"I've heard of this problem before," the doctor said with a smirk, "It's called getting older."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"That's a relief. I thought you might recommend a psychologist or something."
"Do you think you need a psychologist?"
"It's always a pleasure talking to you, Doc."
Mark returned home to find Jenny preparing dinner. He admired her teardrop ass as she stood in front of the stove, stirring a pot. Then, she bent over to take a peek inside the stove and he thought of taking her right there.
"You don't have to work tonight?" he asked.
"Fuck," she exclaimed as she was startled, "Don't surprise me like that."
He walked up behind her, put his arms around her and kissed her on the neck.
"Sorry. Mmm, smells wonderful."
"Filet of salmon in aspic," Jenny said proudly.
"I'm not talking about the food."
She turned around and pulled his head and lips to hers. They had their own little world together which is a good thing because when they were apart they lived in different worlds.
Mark had been working in the same office building since college, nearly twenty years. He had risen to the ranks of upper-middle management or maybe even middle-upper management, depending on who you talked to. It was a big company where he knew everybody. It was also a conservative company that had never heard of casual Fridays. Over twenty years, Mark had become part of the furniture but, since the divorce, had abstained from the company's social occasions. Without a significant other, he would been too much of an other.
He had imagined introducing Jenny to his associates but was scared she wouldn't fit in. Jenny is unconventional, to say the least. She believed in astrology and even called herself a wiccan. She talked about it proudly and, although Mark would not try to discourage her, he would be embarrassed if she interpreted his boss' tarot cards or something like that. Actually, he found that charming about her. She was so open and free and so different from him. They didn't agree on much but, as long they could merely accept, they didn't disagree.
If nothing else, it was certainly a learning experience for Mark. Before he met her, his life seemed like a cave. Now, it was a open field with endless horizons but, five days a week and eight hours a day, he had to return to his cave. It's a crowded cave where everybody dressed alike, talked alike and thought alike. Anything individual, like a personality, had been quietly and thoroughly repressed. The walls of the cave were grey and blue suits. Personally, Mark preferred the grey, they represented nothing but conformity and comfortable warmth.
Just outside the cave was sunshine but there was also rain and snow. Mark had seen his share of storms but until he met Jenny, had never smelled the flowers. She brought back his long forgotten youth and was everything that he was not. She lived by her own rules and made no excuses. Maybe, just maybe, they would see the light and warmth that she brought into his life.
"Jenny, I want to introduce to the people I work with. There's going to be a dinner party next Saturday and I would be honoured to show you off."
"Jeez. This is like meeting your parents. I guess I could wear the white dress."
"Actually, something more conservative would be better. I can buy you something new, if you like."
She was wearing the white dress when he met her. She had a platinum blonde wig to go with it and was doing a Marilyn Monroe routine. She even had a fan at the side of the stage to blow her dress up. It was sort of cute but the audience was too young and too impatient to get it. She took a bit longer than usual to get out it but, when she was wearing just that lacy white bra and a thong, Mark was in awe. She was one of the most beautifully shaped women he had ever seen. She had an ass that could crush walnuts and tits like tennis balls. Despite that, he could not stop looking at her eyes and the perfection of her face. She danced for him, specifically, even though he was sitting far back from gynecology row. After her turn on stage, she came to see him and he bought her a ridiculously priced soda.
They talked about all sorts of things. Amazingly, she was only a few years younger than him. She was in incredible shape for someone 38 years old. They laughed at all the other girls that were half her age and had flabby butts. She had loaned out one of her dresses to one of these young amateurs and was concerned that it would be stretched. She worked six nights a week in that bar to support her two children and told him all about her two daughters as she stroked his cock in his pants. It was difficult to remain controlled as she talked about the school play performing Joseph's Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Eventually, she led him to a corner booth and he paid for a lap dance. He was a bit embarrassed.
"What can I say. It works," he apologized for his erection.
"You should be proud of that big guy."
