Shrinkage May 20, 2025

 

 

“I got good news and bad news for you, “ my Urologist said during my semi annual check up.

The good news was the m PSA levels had gone down, indicating less chance of cancer.

Two years ago, these levels jumped from one to six, and while not the deadly level of ten that indicated possible cancer.  it was a real concern, prompting painful procedures that included a snake-like camera pushed up into my penis (with only a local that only reduced the pain at the tip. Later, I underwent an MRI, pet scan and other similar procedures, topped off with a very painful series of biopsies.

The surgery that I got later was a scraping that allowed me to pee, but had screwed up my ability to cum. While I could still have sex, the cum tended to remain in the plumbing long afterwards, oozing out into my underwear at most inconvenient times.

All that said, the bad news is that my prostate – almost the size of a baseball – was showing no sign of reduction, and as a result, my growing prostate began the inevitable shrinking of my cock.

As a teenager, I had accepted the myth said claimed a man with a nose as big as mine had a large cock as well.

But now with my prostate growing, my cock had gone from a barely adequate six inches to slightly more than three with every indication I might watch it vanish entirely. This, of course, affected erections

I consulted my gay friend, Max, who knew as much as prostates as my urologist, and I asked him what could be done.

He gravely told me not a lot, but with hopeful news, I might find ways to compensate for my inadequate sex life, and might enjoy a revival of the pleasures I had when I was still a teen.

It took me a moment to get his meaning, and when I did, I said, “no way!”

When I consulted my urologist on the matter, he reluctantly confirmed my gay friend’s analysis, though added I would need to do much more if I intended to go that way, estrogen shots and testosterone blockers – which would shrink my penis more and might require the removing on my testicles entirely. But what I lost down below, I would gain upstairs. Max said this often resulted in development of breasts – but the process could help me shift my source of sexual gratification to my mouth and to my ass, which Max called my boi pussy.

I asked Max if I could still masturbate. He shook his head.

“You could rub what’s left, but you’d get more pleasure by sticking your fingers up your ass,” he said, noting that if I went the drug route the urologist suggested, I would find my pleasure center shifted to that part of my body anyway.

I did not consult my urologist about Max’s suggestions for oral and anal sex. Frankly, I did not want to know anything about it, even though Max said he would help dress me up so I was in a more receptive mood, by which he meant wearing women’s clothing 44/7, making me fit the role that my enlarged prostate appeared to be seeking me to play.

“So, you’re saying you want to turn me into a woman?” I asked.

“As close as you can get without getting extensive surgery,” Max said. “You’ll never be able to use your winky the way you used to, so why not go all the way?”

I won’t say I wasn’t tempted. I ached to feel the way I once did. But I was still attached to my winky, having lived with its up and down moods my entire life. I would miss it if it wasn’t there.

Max was clearly disappointed when I told him that I didn’t want to go that way and I would just have to live with the shrinkage.

He proposed a compromise. If I didn’t want men fucking me in the ass, I could still derive pleasure from sucking their cocks.

“I’m sure you’d make a great cock sucker,” Max said.

Wait and see March 8, 2026

 

If I look carefully, I can still catch sight of the bits of snow which only a short time ago buried us, just a smattering here in those places where someone had piled it high on curb or lawn for lack of a better place to put it all, storm after storm, bringing us more and more snow, after a number of years of no or little snow at all.

I’m not sure if this bodes ill, the returning to what I knew as a kid, or that there is still hope for the world which is its own mistress, and perhaps suspects the fantasy wishes of fools who inform us we are so potent a force we can defy mother nature.

Maybe now, this slow fade out of winter and coming of spring will tell us we ought to live with what is, rather than making up what we think we believe, this said, I’m not yet putting the snow shovels away, and will wait and see.

Going back? Feb. 18, 2013


 

We all want to go back to get to a point on the meter where me might do over what we did before, not always because we made mistakes (as we inevitably did), but because we might do what we did back then better, and preserve who we were, are or intended to be, each choice we’ve made changes us, steers us in a new direction, to a place we may not have wanted to go, but went to anywhere, then left us to wonder what might have happened, who we might have become, if we had turned right instead of left, or three times, picked ourselves up off the floor, dusted ourselves off, and staggered on, not to look back until it was impossible to go back.

Who might we have become if we had not pushed on, would we be better or worse, or merely different? Would we really want to change anything if we could, not knowing who we might become if we did, better or worse, not the person we are today, knowing now how we ended up, good or bad or different.

It might have been enough February 3, 2013

 


 

I can’t blame her for how I feel. I let my guard down, knowing what I could have had back then, but blew it, knowing now I would never have become “the one,” her insatiable need never able to be fulfilled by someone like me, always a temporary arrangement, my back just another rung on a ladder to someone else, a stepping stone; a man like me needs to learn his place in her world or have no place.

I still see her face when I close my eyes, as vivid now as when she sat across from me, forbidden fruit, dangerous but tempting, yet always just out of reach.

I can’t blame her for stoking up this fire in me, when I laid the kindling there first, desperate for the right match to set me ablaze, as she ultimately did, she more than just another face in the crowd, someone filled with a potency I could not resist, but should have, and even now, thinking if I had kept to that high road, I might have retained my place, if not as lover, then maybe a friend, and now, thinking, it might have been enough

The right quest Sept. 29, 2012

  

They say you only know who your friends are in the midst of conflict, the hand that holds your elbow when you struggle, the word whispered in your ear when you come near to giving up.

But what do you do when you’ve already won; who do you trust?

What is it that inspires you to this “serge to fight?”

Are these shadows you box against?

You say you’ve gotten used to the smell of dirt, having fallen so often, exhaustion dragging you down, and still you rise, torn and bleeding to resume the struggle – instinct telling, you’re not done yet, even though you keep telling yourself to give up, you never will.

It is not in your nature to surrender without a fight, even when the odds seem overwhelming and the whole world dead set against you.

The world refuses to understand you, though a few doe, those true friends you’ve hand picked who pick you up with you call, and treat your wounds, and feed you words of encouragement, telling you again and again, you’re quest is right

The sweet scent of roses April 6, 2013

I prick my finger each time I try to pause and sniff what is beautiful in the perfect world, where everyone has a two-car garage and plastic seat covers and drive to places most people in my neck of the woods would walk to. Only unlucky workers walk, the maids from the bus stop side by side with the nannies. Men come in pickup trucks trailing trailers full of garden equipment, leaf blowers where a generation ago they were forced to use rakes, piling up the remnants from the previous fall so they can no longer burn, as laws prohibit them from filling the air with fumes we used to love smelling as kids, now instead of piles of leaves, we get big orange bags.

Gardeners plant rose bushes or fill trellises for grapes, men with gnarled and bloody fingers, gloves unable to hold back the bite of thorns, or is it the sticky touch of the rose they resist, not even appreciating the scent, as if sweat mingling with it all ruins even that for men and women who labor their lives to maintain the houses with fancy lawns and picket fences, roses that in any other time or place would smell so sweet.

House husband material (Cuck 3)

 

 It took ten years for my Ex and I to talk about those final days before we split, those nights out with the girls that ended up with men, in back seats of cars or sleezy highway motels.

“If I was getting what I needed at home, I wouldn’t have been looking for it elsewhere,” she said so matter of factly, I felt like a cuck again, but refrained from mentioning how she sometimes brought some of those men home, screwing them while I was at work, she telling me they had no other place to go, which was why she insisted I let them sleep on our couch. I’m sure she would have moved them into the bedroom and put me on the couch, if she could have found a way to justify it.

“You had your nights out with Hank,” she said, suggesting I might have been doing what she did while out on the town, when I stayed loyal, even when she did not.

Jane, on of the girls she went out with, did not warn me about what went on, how my ex acted like a slut in the clubs near the mall, and sometimes took on more than one man at a time, and often many more men in sequence during the long night, I catching a whiff of cum and cologne when she got back home.

During those nights, I took care of the baby. When I lost my job, she suggested she might get a job instead and leave me to become a house husband.

She told me I was good at cleaning, doing dishes, and other chores. She was extremely disappointed when I resisted.

“You’d look real pretty wearing a French maid’s outfit,” she said, while later I wondered just how far she would take it, dressing me up as a sissy for the amusement (possibly pleasure) of her male friends.

I suspect she might not have left had I agreed to her terms. She really wanted a life in which she had total control.

“I’m sure you would have had a great time walking the baby to the park everyday,” she said during our recent conversation, suggesting she still felt sad about the turn of events. “You might even have gotten lucky with some of them.”

I didn’t want to fuck lonely housewives; I wanted life to go on as it was supposed to, husband, wife and baby.

It took me a decade to get over my failed marriage; she got over me right away.

“The way you get over a man is to get under another man,” she told me.

Why she had contacted me again was a bit of a puzzle, since she’d had a string of men after me (including several additional ex-husbands), but assured me none of them were anything like me.

“You know we could make it work if we tried,” she said, with that same glint in her eyes, as if she already pictured me in that French Maid outfit, and was already calculating how good life would be if she could once again bring her male friends home, where I could feed and entertain them, maybe hiring me out to those lonely housewives she envisioned me with long ago, or perhaps to the parade of lonely house husbands.

I felt the same twinge as I felt back then, intense jealousy over the men I knew would be fucking her, and a pending “what might have been,” over me serving them when she got finished.

“It doesn’t matter who you fuck or who fucks you,” she said. “As long as you fuck.”

This made it clear that even after a decade, nothing fundamentally had changed.

“I think you would look very pretty in a dress,” she said as an afterthought. “And I’m sure some of my friends would think so, too.”

Needless to say, we never got back together, although from time to time, I still wonder what might have happened if we had.
