The Big T... · 4:16pm Aug 10th, 2021
... is Testosterone. I think I’ve mentioned before that mine is chronically low, so every four months, I get a fresh infusion of it in the form of implanted pellets a couple inches to the left or right of my tailbone. It starts with a series of lidocaine injections to numb the area for the small incision it requires, meaning Fortrakt would faint to see it. 
Without it, my general motivation and libido levels tend to stay suppressed and my creative/physical recharge times tend to be significantly longer. With it... I may as well be a teenager again. I just got them yesterday, a month late, meaning my level had fallen all the way back to its typically low ebb and will take two full weeks to boost back to where it should be. I should begin feeling it in a week, usually starting with some disturbed sleep and odd dreams as my system goes briefly topsy-turvy at the infusion.
The reason I mention this is that I’ve started into the next Eros chapter and have about 4k words down it, and with additional T, my motivation for M-rated writings will understandably be much higher. The plan for now is that I’m going to write the Eros chapter—look for it within a week—followed by a couple C&C chapter edits plus writing one new Firefly chapter in time for its four-year anniversary on September 1st, and then I’ll spend the next two months working on Unleash the Magic.
Do I mean Midnight Rising or Nightmare Night? Yes. 
As for the next Eros chapter, look for two major scenes and a possible setup for a third. It’ll be one straight and one gay with a clear separation between them so you can avoid or read as you see fit; if the chapter gets too big I’ll break it up between them. It’s told from Marco’s perspective again, as both his fondest wish and nightmare fantasy come true. You’ll also see their next movie selection, which readers of C&C should be able to guess from the latest chapter.
There will be no teaser simply because it’s going to be wall-to-wall erotic action and I typically don’t like to give that away before posting. But don’t worry--hopefully this weekend, you’ll see what funtimes our cider-soaked heroes are enjoying despite the designs of the Ibexians.
PS: You will get a glimpse of the Ibex at the end of the story.
Sounds like fun times ahead.

Just a small one though!
Your Medical Record must be a long and intreresting read. Wish you health.

You could say that! Though Marco might have cause to at least briefly doubt it. It’s his own fault, though.
Interesting how they combined footage from three different movies there--Tora! Tora! Tora!, the 1970s-era Midway movie, and the newest one from a couple years ago, which I still need to see.

Sadly, it is.
Aside from low-T, I have no less than two autoimmune conditions (Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn’s Disease) that require four prescriptions to fully manage, sleep apnea which I’m going under the knife for a third time next month, severe acid reflux which is controlled with a fifth prescription, and multiple supplements to keep things on an even keel otherwise.
Then there’s the things I’ve already had surgery for, including a painful bunion that had me in a boot for six weeks, torn cartilage in both knees that required a combined three procedures to correct, and bad double-vision that took two surgeries to fix. So yeah, in some ways, I’m held together with pins, sutures and a steady infusion of pills.
It’s a depressingly long list, but I do my best not to let it restrict me or get me down. Despite all that, I run a 10k twice a week, am very strong and well-built thanks to constant weightlifting, can do 20 pull-ups with a weighted vest, and I walk around 20k steps a day. It’s basically better living through medicine and a lot of chemistry for me. I wish I didn’t need all this, but it’s kept me active and living life. May it continue to do so for decades to come.

I have you beat, I need no weighted vest. It's called being overweight.
(I do actually need to lose a bit of weight though, since covid I've put on enough that my knees have considered rebelling)
