I think this is a bit like retail - there are 3 laws of retail: Location, Location, Location
Because the bladder is kinda down there and plumbed into bits not discussed in public it all gets swept under the medical carpet - no Elaine NOT Rug!
Just imagine any woman designing a cooker that was as hard to clean as cookers are - just the same if Medicine had been dominated by women rather than men do you think Period Pains and Menopause would still be such a hastle!
OK so Bladders don't get discussed and as it TENDS to be a problem of those over 5 and breeding age what is the incentive for cures and replacements. I can not see why they can not inplant a silver box or a dacron bag with electrical valves - the body is fairly tollerant of silver and dacron.
Just thing a 1.1/2pint bag and when it reaches 1.1/4pts. a mild shock as warning you have like 10 minutes - then a pressure switch that opens the valve to a dacron outlet in standard location by gender choice! :
Hey why do people pretend sex isn't important? Each generation thinks it invented it :o
You just have to be a darned sight more careful with your choice of words than Bubbles ;D
There are a number of medical procedures that can assist, including the fitting of errectile pumps which I gather are very effective and don't have the problems of chemical solutions :-[
I have a friend who had cancer of about everything and he decided to try Viagra - his comment was 'never again, what do you do after 8 hours' ;D OK OK I know what you are thinking
I'm not sure taking two would have that effect :o
The other problem was it left him with a terrible headache for almost 24 hours [no I don't mean his wife ;D ]
OK OK kids this biology lesson is NOT supposed to devolve into a practical but I do notice all of a sudden its Mr. Woodie
May I take the liberty of pointing out that was Mr. Woodie The CARPENTER :
Hey chat with Mr. Woodie he is worried about all the same things - I have listened to people in hospital saying they would rather have another year of normality than have the op. with the risk of errectile failure - sure, if your personality is deffined by a penis or a vagina but it just may occur to the more mature that the brain and emotion, care and reliance are in the brain not just in the groin!
That said - it is vitally important that you are intelligently honest with each other - I have talked with people, male and female, who claim they never realised how much fun they could have until the obvious was precluded! :
Mechanical & chemical assistance is one route that can be followed and many find this brings a new lease to what may well have been a flagging enthusiasm based on boredom. Others become reliant on the variety it forces upon them and find that even more fulfilling
One only has to pick up any women's magazine to realise that the majority of women would benefit immensly from the increased protraction and greater imagination rather than wondering what all that was about as they follow the patterns on the ceiling for the umpteenth meaningless time
Already on this list you and Elaine have been fantasising over young garden boys, well hung windows, etc. etc.
Of course you should talk about sex - it is important in relationships.
ALSO do not forget the omni presence of fear and even awareness of mortality on this list - it was ALWAYS practice during my service that if a widow was to be informed of the death of her husband,a brother officers would attend to tell her but NEVER alone. Sex frequently has a great intensity when confronted by death. :o
Well young lass perhaps you should surprise yourself more often and consider the bees and the birds as an alternative. IF you have a fulfilling sex life now surely you do not claim it is purely anatomically dependent :
The future is ALWAYS a Challenge and when it stops being a Challenge and fails to surprise you how can you tell you aren't dead :-/
