that you'll be back in about two weeks.

Been there, done that.  

That's what I was thinking but you put in in perspective.  Thanks LoveGoddess.

Thanks Love Goddess.  You said what I was thinking.  In the end, a break was what I needed, though I have since gotten back in the game, albeit for just one appt.  I think in the end, I'm coming to the realization that short term mating, while it certainly fufills an immediate physical need, it isn't serving a long term emotional one anymore.  I think its time for a long overdue change of course.  Thanks

Ryan, I'm sure you meant well.  But, speaking frankly, your suggestion that the poster here is, maybe, gay strikes me as not even remotely likely.  I deeply hope his feelings and self esteem were not at all hurt by your quick remark.

What on earth would prompt you to call someone who has enjoyed many providers and reached his goal of making one squirt "maybe gay"?  If anyone has ever been throughly dedicated to a heterosexual agenda, it's him!

Anyone, upon achieving a longtime goal, wants to take a break from the sport, if for no other reason that to refect upon, enjoy and celebrate having realized a long-sought goal.

Suppose this were in a different area - say a man had a lifelong dream of finding and eating the perfect juicy steak.  He goes to many steakhouses, over many years, but never finds it.  But them, one day, in an unlikely-looking restaurant, his dream is suddently realized - he tastes  and eats the steak of his dreams!

Having now achieved his dream, he now does not feel compelled any longer to keep spending his hard-earned money on quite expensive steakhouses.  He starts enjoying salads and desserts, and even finds himself exploring a few coffee shops.  

He wonders about this a bit, and posts on "The Eaters Review" Steak Board, "Is there something wrong with me?  Why don't feel compeled to keep visiting steakhouses any more?"

Would you write there, Ryan, "Maybe you're a vegetarian... nothing wrong with that"?

Somehow, I don't think so.

I think you'd write instead, "Congratulations.  Having found your ultimate steak, sure, you probably will be staying away from our meat for a while.  But you'll be back.  You'll see - you'll even start enjoying an everyday McDonald's beefburger again, while cherishing the fleeting memory of having, before, enjoyed the very best beefstealk there ever could be.

"And, you'll see. Without thinking about it (let alone worrying about it), you'll soon be back to dine our style again...maybe inside that  perfectly lovely restaurant you finally found once before.

"Because, the menu there hasn't changed.

"Nor, basically, have you.

"We'll look forward to welcoming you back to our group, whenever you find you're ready...as one of our most esteemed and admired diners.

In the meantime, enjoy your celebration time."
