Overclocked

What must it be like to be male? To live with an overclocked metabolic system that’s always on the lookout for brazen and unmistakable propositions - like a smile or a "please pass the salt."

I mean at times we all have those feelings - primitive as oil -  but not the constant, fast forward, high density need that males seem to live with.

It must be like wrestling a trapped demon..

Brian Sambourne Date: 8/13/2021 9:46:00 PM I get it Anais. Tongue in cheek. Some guys are, indeed, on a testosterone tightrope. Wait till they age. Keep the verses coming. Your postings are a cooling breeze for an over heated summer. Take care, Brian Login to Reply Anais Vionet Date: 8/14/2021 8:45:00 AM Thanks - you comments are poems!

John Gondolf Date: 7/5/2021 7:06:00 AM Sometimes it is a blessing and sometimes it is a curse; sometimes you win and sometimes you get shot down, but it is always better than just sitting around waiting for something to happen...this being from a male's point of view. :) John Login to Reply Anais Vionet Date: 7/5/2021 9:09:00 AM ahhh.. take charge - the number of "at bats" and all =]

L Milton Hankins Date: 7/4/2021 7:26:00 PM Thank you, Anais, but I am male, and you are not describing me. I'm sorry you have this general impression of the male gender.
