Just because you don't like giving the government an interest free loan...
Bravo!
Oh great, you've provided armament for the doomweasels.
Thank you thank you. It's these minor victories that keep the world going.
Could you wear the swim goggles instead of the wig?
I got pics...I missed it?!

Well, that was MY risky click for the day.
I'm just surprised nobody posted the "two guys cleaning up spilled glue" pic in response to Kags' gams.
It was implied.

I try to get SOME variety in my gif posting, I mean, come on.
@Tinwhistler is a mutant. Shhhhh!
Well yes, that wiener pic proved that quite conclusively.

If it's that consistency, someone should see a doctor.

@bhamv3 , you can wear whatever you want, just get the job done. Slllllooooooowwwwly. Mmm, yeah.
....What? You think I enjoy cleaning the house?
You know, some day, Tin actually WILL post something brazen, and everyone will get fired.
Pffft. I think he's posted pictures of his tinwhistle a dozen times so far.
How many years have I been posting on this board? If I'm going to show an actual genitals pic here, I'm not going to be the first.[DOUBLEPOST=1454529210,1454529060][/DOUBLEPOST]
You try to google up a better one using safe keywords at work

Clearly you don't watch enough hentaiIf it's that consistency, someone should see a doctor.
Thought about posting this to the "I just had sex" thread, figured it fits here better. Probably some TMI in here.
I have a myriad of health 'annoyances'. I have had a scalp infection for 2 years that resulted in me losing a bunch of hair, which is why I shave it nowadays. I also have a pretty aggravating GI tract - it doesn't take much for it to start rumble and a general lethargy. After my divorce I suspected that it was all depression/stress related and thought nothing more of it. Until I started dating again.
I won't go into a lot of the drama that surrounded that as it's well documented here. However, one thing that caused me no end of grief was a low sex drive / ED issue that kept cropping up. Once again, I figured it was related to falling out of a long term relationship so I just attempted to work through it until it became really frustrating and I made an appointment with my GP. She ordered blood tests. Blood tests came back good. No diseases of any kind just a high bilirubin count. I had a high testosterone level, and was otherwise in perfect working order. The end suggestion was that it was a confidence/mental issue and she prescribed some little blue pills to 'help me transition/gain confidence again'. Suffice to say, they didn't really work for me which was even more depressing. They were fun, don't get me wrong, but 1) They are incredibly expensive. 2) It takes you out of the moment to go take a little pill. Regardless things seemed to improve as my comfort level with a new (Crazy) girl increased. Subsequent relationships would suffer from similar deficiencies which continue to be frustrating.
Background: I don't know if I'm broken or what, but I don't have that 'barking dog' sex drive that other guys talk about. I like the sex, don't get me wrong, but I'm not driven by it like I was as a teenager. From my guy friends around me, they all appear as horndogs and I can't understand if it's just male bravado or they are actually under the influence so to speak so I mostly keep my mouth shut and consider entering the priesthood as a more effective use of my time. Porn usage has dropped significantly, and self-care time is at a record low. Even the morning wood has disappeared.
The latest and greatest relationship doesn't have these issues so much but I always feel like I'm missing out on some kind of male experience. I'm not champing at the bit to get down and dirty with this incredibly amazing and attractive girl. Oh sure, it's a couple times a week but we both recognize that her drive is far.....FAR....stronger than my own. I don't feel equal in that regard and it causes me some minor annoyance at times.
I happened on an article on Reddit about leukonychia, the white spots that occasionally appear on your fingernails. I've had them in the past and hadn't noticed them for a while until I looked down and saw them all over again at a certain distance from my nailbed. While they haven't confirmed this, leukonychia can be caused by a zinc deficiency. Looking at my nails, I see that on all fingers they exist around the same location suggesting that if they were caused by a zinc deficiency, that began at a certain time. So I begin looking into zinc deficiencies a little more.
Symptoms include:
"Hair loss"
"GI difficulties"
"Drop in general energy levels"
"leukonychia"
"Lowered ability for muscle growth/toning"
"Loss of appetite"
"Taste changes"
"Mental slowness"
"High bilirubin / jaundice"
"Reduced free testosterone - low libido / possible ED"
Mother...fucker.
So, looking at where you get Zinc from it includes mostly seafood, red meat and nuts. All of which have been increasingly rare in my diet. You don't need much as a guy, 12-15mg a day. Oysters have about 70mg (Often leading to the urban myth of oysters as aphrodesiacs). A quick trip to the pharmacy and some Centrum men and I'm good to go.
A week in...
Holy shit. It's amazing what a bit more testosterone can do. Gentlemen, take your vitamins.

Indeed. I take a daily vitamin just as part of my natural "I'm not allowed to get sick" regimen. You made me double check it... 15mg Zinc (100% RDA). Yep yep yep.
Multivitamin? Which brand? I couldn't find anything that wasn't zinc specific and 11mg or lower.

I once bought some yohimbe as a metabolism boosting agent when I began a workout regiment a couple years ago.
I think I took maybe 3 of the pills out of the whole bottle.
Oh my god. All the boners, all the time. I felt like I was 14 again.

Looks like that advice to Ron Harris was good, then.
We have a similar battle in my home about iodine. The person who does the majority of cooking does not like the taste of iodized salt, and we don't really eat processed food (the major source of salt for most people). So once or twice a month I make sure I get some bladderwrack.
Also I take a daily supplement, and by "supplement" I mean something that only has 100% max of the micronutrients it carries. I don't need 8333% the RDA of riboflavin, my pee is yellow enough, thanks.
