Amy
Well you know I am a school teacher so when I get a call from JD during the day I am surprised. I thought something must be wrong but he insisted it was not, he had just got a call from the Dr about his blood tests and all was mostly well. The Dr had asked that we stop in the next morning and JD had set it up for 8:30 AM again. The Dr had said no worry and peaked a little to JD which he said he would tell me in person. I was glad it was almost 2PM as class was dismissed at 2:20 and I could learn more.
JD did leave work early and got home before the kids. They had afterschool activities and would be till nearly 5 no matter the day. JD went straight to the computer and began to tell me what he knew as he worked the internet to find out more. It turns out the extra test the Dr performed was a testosterone level test. There is a range that varies by age that you should be within and the Dr told JD that his was on the low side. This could possibly be a reason for his decreasing sexual urgings and performance. Once we got past the shock, the news was pretty exciting.
JD told me that all the other tests came back real good. His blood sugar and cholesterol was in great shape. What we found on the internet about testosterone was that for a man his age there was a range of about 250-1250. JD did not know his number as of yet. The symptoms surprised us as we read on. JD just two summers ago had quit mowing the grass, something he always loved doing, because he said he just couldn't do all that walking. We had a big lot, nearly an acre so it was a lot of grass. He got a riding mower and we never thought anything about it.
The details as we read on told us it was just this kind of things that added all together were signs of ageing true but often lower steroid levels. During our reading I began to realize the possible end result and had been playing with JD's leg all along. Soon my playing turned into his playing and we found ourselves having quickie sex, which for a long time had been absent in our relationship. Even though quick we were recovering and dressing with no dinner ready as the kids came home.
We got more than one odd look from them as they put the pieces together knowing mom and dad had been playing the in the bedroom BEFORE dinner. I thought Amy looked amazing as we readied dinner. She was not dressed special of course but just maybe I have overlooked her some in the last few years? I thought I would have to give that some attention over the next few days. Despite the fact that tomorrow was to be faced with some anxiety I fell to sleep easily. I awoke seemingly refreshed at 4AM, wow that was early.
Trying to return to sleep I got to thinking about how things had went the last time Amy was with Peter. Peter was slow and easy and kept her in bed a long time. Amy and I had never done that. I wondered if she liked that lay around, teasing style of lovemaking. Certainly being different, I could see how it could initially be something she enjoyed. I also remembered that after Peter left she was sort of out of it for a day or so. She even told me it was hard to sleep, like her engine was still running on high yet she was tired.
Amy didn't attribute that to the sex with Peter but laying here tonight I found I disagreed. I made a note that we needed to consider getting away once in awhile together for a weekend that maybe could simulate one of those days with a lover. It certainly sounded like fun especially after yesterday afternoons surprise. Next thing I knew our alarm was going off at 6:15.
We got up with the usual morning routine, showers and all, getting the kids up and out and we were out of the house by 8. We were close to the Dr's office so we stopped for a soda as neither of us drink coffee. Sitting in the parking lot chatting I could tell we were both sort of anxious. I am OK with all this guy stuff. I never bought into the big hoopla of jockdom, invincible greatest at everything type thing. I have always thought it was a reason Amy and I got along so well.
I have been ok with our relationship. I know I am more than a little short on the cock side of things but I do know she made several decisions along the way, one to marry me having known. Two, we took awhile to have kids, we knew couples that divorced early on, we decided to have kids knowing it sort of made things more permanent. It was conscious on her part and mine too. I know she loves me and I her and I know from my point of view her having another guy is not such a big thing.
When she had sex with these guys it was the 4th and 5th guys she had sex with since we were engaged. One of those before we married, her best HS gal pal's fiancΓ©. I might add they are divorced and not as the result of messing around. She got tired of things is what she told Amy. I know Amy had 4 guys before we started dating. One in HS, the long term, almost a year, college thing and two fit in, one or two timers before she met him. Not overly experienced but not a rookie is how I would describe her.
You know having a virgin bride was never a goal of mine. I had a lot of sex in HS. Got lucky early on and with the right crowd or at least the sexual crowd and the girls in our group had sex, often with several of the guys. Can I say I grew up seeing things that way, oh no not from my parents. They stayed married and happily I think till my dad died, a little too early. So far I considered myself darn lucky and yet I needed to say let's go inside and see what the next chapter has to say. From the start we have never been a vanilla couple, fucked on the first date, and went to a glorified orgy on the second.
When we got inside JD went to the window and the cute gal there said hey JD. She had not been there the other day. I know my hub is a make friend guy but for the Dr's attendant to know his name was sort of surprising. We were called in to the usual type room within about 10 minutes. As we walked in I checked out the receptionist, she was cute and like early 20's. Dr Tom came floating in and said hey, great you guys both came. He started by telling us again that all aspects of the blood tests were great except the testosterone level.
He asked a couple questions of JD to which he told the mowing story and made another couple comments. He then said well JD the range this test can be in is between 250 and over a 1000-1100. He told us that the results vary as to what time of day the test is performed but that we had did early in the day, normally a high tide time for testosterone. Yet JD's number was low and that he wanted to talk about a regimen of steroid shots.
JD asked what the reading was and it seemed Dr Tom was hesitant to tell us. JD asked about the shots and how fast they restored the level. Dr Tom said it would take up to a year to stabilize things. That we could and would see some results in the 4-5 month stage and would say hey I can tell around 8-9 months. He mainly talked about the benefit to muscle tone, tiredness and overall spirit. We were both anxious so I had to ask and said, DR how about the sex? He said well let's talk about that.
He asked for a review of what was going on. I let JD respond, I wasn't making that mistake again, two Dr's trips in a row. JD told it like it was, he said that our sex before and early on kids was one time sex. The frequency had waned and now he found himself one and done, he actually used those words and while 'up' for it another time or the next day with no orgasm pending he seemed to lose the urge. WOW! He had told our entire bedroom life for the last 3 years in about 2 sentences.
Dr Tom said that the steroids will bring back sexual drive over time. He felt like it would also add to some degree to JD's sexual response. I started to ask and then he defined that. Certainly better erections should result, certainly more frequent erections and most likely more orgasms. He cautioned us about that and about expecting too much too soon. That really was his main concern not a cure all.
We decided that there didn't seem to be a lot of downside to this, JD asked again what his level was and Dr Tom said it was 267. So he really was low. I think this convinced us and we asked what we needed to do. He said he would call in a script. We needed to pick it up and bring it back over. They would give JD a monthly shot and hold the syrup. Pretty easy set up. We were off to the pharmacy to retrieve the prescription and back to the Dr in about 2o minutes.
The cute attendant it turns out was really a nurse and she called JD into a small visiting room. I went as JD said come on. It surprised us both when she told JD it was to be a butt shot and then adding that the girls drew straws for this one. I smiled and for the first time in a long time said to myself these girls are looking at my man and what's more at his butt! Well she sure as hell got a good look giving JD the injection and smiled saying all done see u next month. As we walked out I said she had both hands on your butt a little long? He said...what? Typical guy.
