Growing old is not for sissies. I lay on my belly on the urologist's table with the nurse's strong index finger up my ass massaging my prostate and my useless pecker hanging down and swinging over an emesis basin put there to catch the juice. It was Wednesday afternoon and like every Wednesday afternoon my boggy prostate was taking punishment it didn't deserve because my pecker couldn't get hard enough to fuck.
Doc Prentiss had explained the whole thing to me last year after I had tried sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil, and every other damn 'fil with no results. He offered to try a penis pump or possibly a plastic rod to stiffen my pecker but how can a man fuck with that kind of hardware. And Jesus! Surgery on my pecker! No way!
"The prostate makes most of the juice for the semen," Doc had explained. "The testicles only make the sperm. The semen is stored in the seminal vesicles until you ejaculate and then the juice from the prostate refills the seminal vesicles. If you don't ejaculate, then that juice just stays in your prostate and the pressure builds up as your prostate makes more juice. That's what causes the pain."
"I understand all that Doc but I can't get it up to fuck."
"Then you need to masturbate."
"Doc I can't jack off with a soft dick. I just can't."
"Okay," he had said and then as though pronouncing a sentence he added, "If you don't want surgery so you can have sex then your prostate needs to be massaged every week. Otherwise it will get big and boggy and very painful."
That day was the first time I got a prostatic massage and it did relieve the pain but the Doc's big finger left me with a very sore asshole. From then on his nurse, Wanda, did the honors. Wanda was married to the Doc and worked in the office part time.
You have to get used to having a gal's finger up your ass for the better part of an hour working on your prostate while your pecker and testicles hang down through a gap in the table to let an emesis basin catch the thick, white, sticky drippings.
This is not the best way to spend Wednesday afternoon when you know the other guys are on the golf course. It's also not the best way to get that thick creamy stuff out of your pecker but the days when I got it out the old fashioned way are long gone.
My wife Zelda and I live in a great retirement community called Broken Tree just off I-75 north of Orlando, Florida. Money is no problem. Weather is no problem. Making friends is no problem. It's my asshole that's the problem, or rather that pesky gland a finger length up my asshole. That gland had contributed to a lot of fun since I was sixteen but now it was getting old, just like me.
Wanda's finger was a lot softer than the Doc's and better than that she gave out more information than Fox News. She had sources of information that made her a lot of fun to talk to.
"You've been over to that strip joint just off the Interstate again," she said accusingly continuing to massage my prostate.
She was talking about a club where one stripper after another danced twenty-fours a day and sex toys and dirty videos were sold in an adjacent store. It was very popular with the truckers - probably because some of the gals worked the truck parking lot when they were not on stage. It was also popular with some of us old farts who were reminded of our younger years by all that naked flesh.
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"Dusty was in here this morning with an aching prostate, just like yours. Jason you need to understand that staring at naked women is not good for guys with boggy prostates who can't get it up to get it out the regular way."
She was talking about my golfing buddy. His real name wasn't "Dusty" but with a last name like Rhodes, Dusty was a natural moniker.
"You wanna look at naked women you gotta get your peter fixed. Doc does that for a lot of guys," Wanda said.
"I ain't gonna have no damn plastic rod stuck in my peter," I said. I was scared to death of Doc cutting on my peter.
Wanda laughed and reached down and squeezed my pecker softly as it swung below the table.
"The regular size wouldn't fit this big dick of yours anyway," she said. "They'll have to make a special oversized one."
"Stop playing with my pecker you horny old bitch," I said.
I winced in pain as her finger pressed down hard on my prostate.
"Ouch! God Dammit!" I yelled.
"You gotta remember honey that when someone's got their finger up your ass you shouldn't call them dirty names," she said laughing and continuing to squeeze my pecker gently.
"I'm sure Zelda misses this thing a lot," she said. "By the way Jason, how's Zelda getting along? I mean is she ... well ... you know ... happy?"
Oh shit, I thought. That tone of voice! She said happy rather than satisfied but satisfied is what she meant. She knows. Dammit she knows everything. She knows my old business partner Tony Rizzo is fuckin my wife Zelda. She probably even knows he fucks her every Wednesday afternoon while I'm getting my prostate massaged.
Wanda continued to massage my prostate as I mumbled some answer and my mind flashed back to last year. I was trying all those damn medicines without any effect on my pecker and I hadn't fucked Zelda in a long time and she was horny as hell. She urged me to have the surgery and I said I didn't want to.
It wasn't an argument. It was an adult discussion but she let me know in no uncertain terms that she was fifty-eight years old and she needed to get laid at least once a week. She needed it and she was gonna get it -- as simple as that.
What could I say? There was nothing I could say. I just nodded my head. She knew and I knew that this nod gave her my permission to get her problem taken care of.
Zelda thought about it for a week and then told me she had decided that Tony was the guy she wanted to solve her problem. He was my best friend and she figured he'd be the "safest." That was a shocker for me but what could I say? Before I had a chance to say anything she spoke with him privately.
Tony was my age, sixty-four, my ex-partner, and we had both retired after we sold our business four years previously. We discovered the retirement community whose symbol was a shapely tree damaged by a lightning strike and we both bought houses for cash with the proceeds from the sale of our company. Broken Tree turned out to be a great place to live.
After my wife spoke privately with Tony he talked to his wife. Tony's wife had some pelvic problems that caused dyspareunia and as far as she was concerned it was great that he was gonna be fuckin Zelda instead of her. She and Zelda were old friends anyway and somehow it just seemed right.
But Tony insisted on talking to me. He said he wanted to hear me say it. This didn't seem right but the two of us had a meeting at the club. We sat silently and finished a glass of Macallan -- both of us thinking about what was gonna happen between him and Zelda.
Finally he asked, "Did Zelda tell you that she talked to me?"
I nodded.
"Did she tell you what she asked me to do?"
I nodded again. I was having trouble maintaining eye contact. This guy was gonna fuck my wife and he wanted to hear me say I was okay with that. I was NOT okay with that but Zelda had not given me a choice.
Then he grinned and said, "Your wife wants to fuck Jason. She says she needs it and she asked me to fuck her. Fuck her ... you know ... regular."
I lost eye contact. I almost lost my mind. I stared down at the table. He didn't have to say it that way. He could have been nice to me. He knew I had already told Zelda it was okay. He coulda been more subtle. But shit! How do you talk subtle about fucking your buddy's wife?
"Is it okay with you if I fuck her?" Tony asked.
I nodded my head yes as I stared down at the table.
Tony chuckled and asked, "You care how much I fuck her?"
Zelda had said once a week but I didn't have much to say about this whole thing. I shook my head no, still staring at the table. This was bad. Was he gonna make it worse?
