"He had no problems in achieving or maintaining an erection, he just isn't "in the mood". He has no desire to do it, and as daft as it seems I can't help but worry that it's me (insecure I know).

" They also impair your ability to think straight and do mental tasks you used to find easy,like mental arithmetic indeed ..its like someone has put a brake on you ..but you are too tired to ask who and why ??"
