Yeah, there are a lot of men who wish to be young again. Not about sex, particularly, I get that. I think it is because young guys often feel 9 foot tall and bulletproof, whether they are, or not. Most young guys at the gym often think their are amazing speciments, whether they are, ot not. It's a hormonal profile, or something. How it must feel... That sense of surety and confidence. Of course it means young guys can be really rather intolerable (isn't there someone elses backyard, uh, war you can go play in, someplace else, for a while, and come back later when you have some of that cockiness kicked out of you??)...
Of course that's rather extreme, and I know there are exceptions... But most guys seem to genuniely miss that time of their lives, yeah. I think that was a huge part of the older guys in the gym, thing. And a huge part of the quest... With substances and the like in the attempt to recreate it.
I went to a rather good talk, a while back... The testerone receptor lady... She did one more on start-ups for the science students, and one that was a bit more... Communications... For the Med people... The Med people... Includes the older people in the community with an interest. And frailty... Well... Yeah, people are willing to try most things (except the obvious one of hiring someone who actually knows what they are doing to help them become more mobile and stronger -- prefering to believe there's actually nothing at all that they can *do* but wait for the magical pill that other people are actually going to successfully manage to negotiate their access to (guffaw).
