Should I still use protection?

I'm a 40 year old man in a relationship with an older woman (56 years old). We've been together for almost 4 months now. But we haven't made love yet. She's divorced and the last man she dated was about 7 years ago. As for myself, because of past bad experiences, I haven't been in an intimate relationship with a woman in well over 12 years. So I have two questions: when we do decide to be intimate together, should I still use protection (wear a condom)? Secondly, what is your opinion on those natural male enhancement supplements sold at organic markets like Trader Joe's? I'm still able to have erections sometimes after I wake up, but it's not as frequent as when I was younger. I'm just worried that my "little soldier" won't "stand at attention" when my lady friend and I get undressed in front of each other.

My first thought is I congratulate you on offering such a question which is such a difficult topic to discuss.

Regarding your question if your soldier can stand in salute, the woman that gets you to there will make it happen.

You also don’t have to worry about the other issues because you’re biggest just sex organ is your brain. So, if you think she’s beautiful, sexy, fill in the blank, and it makes you get where you need to go, your soldier is ready to point shoot and pull the trigger.

The over-the-counter crap the stuff that your doctor will prescribe you all of the things are not necessary if you can get an erection. It’s only necessary if somebody’s going to get paid because they prescribe it. I don’t prescribe it if you don’t need it. Don’t stress. That will be your biggest problem. You’re good to go, wear a condom, If you’re worried about sexually transmitted diseases. If she is post menopause menopausal perimenopausal, she’s not gonna get pregnant. So it’s a party from the belly button down. Use the appropriate protection and the devices you need to protect your self from anything that’s transmittable.

Enjoy, have fun when you can, and try not to sweat the small things because there’s a whole Lotta bigger shit out there that you don’t have to worry about. Thank you for your question and I hope my answer was valid and helpful.

Be well
