How many of us want to do something to ourselves (think fashion and accessories), but we wouldn't in a million years because "What would people think?".  Even in our 50s and 60s, we still follow society's rules.

Well, what if you wanted blue tips on your hair?  And if you've ever seen one of my videos, you might have noticed my tattoos.  There's a reason I got them, and it wasn't what you might think.  Let's discuss how to break the taboos and the expectations "of a certain age" and just be ourselves.

So, how's life treating you?  Struggling with decisions?  Relationships?  Ever considered LIFE COACHING?  Yes, I said Life Coaching.  When you're too close to a problem, an unbiased and judgement-free guide is sometimes just what you need.  Please visit the below link for more details!

I saw a video the other day where the host was saying he thought the 2020's were going to be like the Roaring 20s of old.  Especially when covid gets under control.  His belief was that the world had been spring-loaded and locked down for so long that we were just going to spend the rest of the decade living life to the fullest.

So naturally I started imagining my audience and their "New Roaring 20's".  How are WE going to spend the next decade?

And off we go again!  Answering the questions that women want to ask men, but know we'll probably just grunt and try to ignore.  But rest assured ladies, while I may appear uncomfortable in my chair as I answer, I will answer.  At least as far as I am able, being a plus-50 member of the male gender and trying to speak for the majority of us.

1. Why do you guys like porn?
2. What's falling in love like, from a male perspective?
3. Do men like women better with a lot of (or a little) makeup?
4. Do different vaginas feel different?

Yep, those should be pretty fun to answer.  :-)

Conflicts in a relationship are inevitable, I suppose.  Sure, we try to minimize the arguments, but do we really know how to fight fair?  Shouldn't a disagreement end up with a resolution?  Or are you just fighting to hear yourself fight?

Here are seven (7) things you can do to take a disagreement and turn it into something more productive.

Fellas!  Welcome to OUR Playlist!  I figured that if I had one for the ladies, fair is only fair and we needed a place to call our own as well.  Here's the deal, this is an unedited and free-form blathering of things concerning we guys as we hit the second half.  Things I'm experiencing, answering questions from you, trying out stuff.  With maybe a beverage in hand.  :-)

And this week: 

- What's It Like Getting a Vasectomy?
- Unwanted Hair Everywhere, Including From Your Wife
- Taking Up Bad Habits

How many of us born in the 20th century still hold on to old fashioned beliefs about sex?  That masturbation will grow hair on our palms?  That girls don't like sex a much as boys.  Or worse, that it's OK for men to have multiple sex partners, but when women do they are somehow harlots.

Porn, anal, oral, voyeurism, swinging, dildos, vibrators, sex dolls ... how many of you are cringing now, having peeked at that short list?  Are you still living in the 1950s?

How many of us, especially as we age, just let things pile up?  Do we somehow believe that problems are just supposed to start occuring in our 50s?  In our 60s?  That it's just the way it is?

I had originally created this episode with a long list of all of the things that I had personally allowed to accumulate.  Meaning, all of the small physical issues that I had just ignored because they were supposed to happen as we all got older.  A whole stockpile of mental and emotional ones as well.  

And as I was doing the edit, I couldn't even finish it.  It was so ... whiny and depressing.  A solid five minutes of this is wrong, and that is wrong.  Oh me, oh my.  Which was the exact opposite of what I was trying to accomplish with the show.  I guess I was in a woe is me mood when I originally scripted it.

What I was apparently doing was trying to use age as an excuse for procrastination.  Which may or not be true.  But let's skip past all of the things that I've personally let slide, and all of my excuses, and get right into some motivation and understanding.  Some self-improvement.  Some goal seeking.  OK?

In 2014, at the tender age of 53 and change, I decided to hit the reset button.  The HARD reset button.  Change everything, completely and irrevocably.  I moved a thousand miles from my home state down to sunny Miami, where I knew zero people.  Had nothing, not even an apartment reservation.  I needed to leave everything behind to start again.  Or did I?

Looking back, I had lots of questions.  Some of which I can actually answer now.  So let's look them over, and see where I went right, and where I didn't.  Because maybe these revelations will have some impact on your own life choices.

So you're into a relationship long enough to be comfortable.  Really comfortable.  So much so that you skip a little exercise here and there.  

Hey, those doughnuts look yummy!  
Sure, I'll have another drink, why not?  
Nah, I can wait another week before I get a haircut.  
But I showered yesterday!

And then one day ... you are no longer the person who preened, primped, and cared enough to look good enough to date.  You slipped.  The person looking back in the mirror isn't the same as the you from Year One.  

What happened?

Let's start the new year right!  By betraying my gender and answering women's questions honestly.  :-)

Seriously, we men are not the most communicative creatures in the world, especially those of us over a certain age (Boomer-GenX Men, sheesh!).  But I am willing!  Willing to answer whatever you want answered.  And this week, we have these five questions:

1. Do guys ever talk about sex?  Do you talk about us with each other?

2. What do you really think of when you tell us you're not thinking?

3. Do you like looking at other women?  Why are you looking?

4. Have you ever faked an orgasm?

5. Why do you find it so hard to communicate?  Tell us what you're really feeling!

Those should be worth some deep thoughts.  Or at least as deep as the male gender can get.  But honestly, those are hard to answer.  Because it leaves us men kinda vulnerable.  And THAT is the crux of all our communication woes.  But I'll give it a good try.

And yes ... this is going to be a weekly thing, at least until the Secret Society Of Men sends someone to silence me!
