New boy to these forums - still have to put my vital statistics up - so just saying hi.
This looks like the most adult place to be.
I’ve joined a couple of forums but I’m going to need an education, counselling,psychotherapy ( got other issues right now) and basically to grow up before I can presume to attempt to understand and empathise with the anxiety and fear I see here.
I’m 70 so it’s about time to grow up and I would say ‘grow a pair’ but I have prostate cancer now and the plan is to chemically castrate me.( will be interesting to see if my posts change) with a testosterone excision. (Do you get to keep it - I could flog it on Facebook market place?)
I did warn you about the immaturity! See you later.
Hello SeagullF
Guess what - it's me again - yes I do get around and not just the prostate group. Chemical castration isn't too bad I've had it for 3 years, I prefer to call it "Hormone Therapy". The thing is without the treatment the other option - well to me it's a "no brainer". Sadly your testosterone just goes, no chance of collecting it and selling it. The bonus about Hormone Therapy is that it comes with a multitude of side effects, would you believe "Growing a Pair" is one of them - I have a nice pair of "moobs" - Prostate Cancer - the gift that keeps giving.
So back to business - we can offer you some counselling and here's the link:
