Following on from the last post, here's another question: do men have Knob Years like dogs have Dog Years? Ageing faster or slower than the rest of the body? I have reached 40 with what I considered to be the knob of a 21 year old - eager and perky. But on Saturday I found myself sympathising with an ageing gangster in a novel (Sacred Games, very good) who decides that the joy of orgasm is no longer worth the effort that precedes it. Have my Knob Years suddenly caught up with me?

Sobering thought - but then again, I was very hungover, I'm tired from working too hard and still sore from the operation which cut my perineum from ballsac to arsehole.

Last night, I went out to a birthday party with my girlfriend and her good humour cheered me up til we got home. With her 18 year old tits and my 21 year old knob, we kept ourselves amused... falling asleep as the first birds began to sing outside.
