Thank you
Thank you to those who have replied, and to those who sent me messages, for your kind and thoughtful responses.

It's interesting to hear from those women who don't particularly rate penetrative sex. Unfortunately I've never lucky enough to find any of you. The responses I had from women with whom I tried to form a physical relationship were fairly constant - what I could provide was fine, but not sufficient. As one said "Foreplay's fine, but with you it never goes anywhere, and I just get frustrated." Or as another put it more simply (I can still her her saying it in my mind's eye): "I did all that annoying fumbling stuff when I was a teenager. I want something more now."

What is more, a lot women in my agegroup (mid 30s) are starting to think about children, and although I suspect I could be a father with a bit of technical assistance, I hardly qualify as a good prospect.

Re: the internet dating suggestion, I'm now a little torn. I've always assumed that these services were used exclusively by griefers and those who are actively looking for sex, which made them totally unsuitable for me. Besides, as the original respondant said, I'm sure putting up a profile that said "Hi, I'm Ragged and I barely have a penis" would attract an avalanche of ridicule. I've had plenty of that in my time.

Thank you again for your responses.
