Having personal experience with with the kind of medications urologists prescribe to us old guys, I’m guessing they weren’t boning at all, particularly considering all the other meds. Unless his new “honey” was forcing him to choke down fistfulls of Cialis or something. In which case he’s now a sex zombie.

What motivates people? Such complexity.

“Grow old along with Me

The best is yet to be.”

Wrote a thirty-something named Browning, IIRC. Hang on, I’ll check.

Yes it was Browning. How old exactly when he wrote it I don’t know, but I recall reading that he was quite young at the time.

Oh wait he was born in 1812 and the poem containing these lines — Rabbi ben Ezra, which begins with them — was published in 1864 so assuming no huge lag between writing and publishing would make him about 52. Young by my standards. I was still randy as fuck at that point.
