First week, I'm not going to lie and tell you I got a raging boner overnight.
That's not how it works.
I noticed a bit more energy during the day, and I was sleeping better, but nothing dramatic.
Then around day 9 I woke up with a morning erection. A real one. Full, hard, just there when I opened my eyes. I hadn't woken up like that in over a year. I just laid there staring at it thinking holy shit, something is actually happening.
By week two, my sex drive started coming back.
I was thinking about my wife the way I used to think about her.
Looking at her across the room and actually feeling something.
Not dread, not anxiety, but wanting her.
My body was waking back up.
Week three, I decided to try.
We were still barely speaking, she was still half out the door, but one night in bed, I reached for her.
She was surprised.
And for the first time in over a year, my body showed up.
I was HARD. Really hard.
I stayed hard the entire time.
I lasted as long as I wanted to.
When it was over she was lying there out of breath and she looked at me and just said "what was THAT?"
I told her I'd been working on something.
She didn't ask questions. We just laid there.
By month two we were having sex almost every night.
Not because we were trying to fix anything.
Because we wanted each other again.
I was rock hard every single time.
I was lasting as long as she needed me to.
And my size was back. I could see it, she could feel it – I was filling up to full capacity again because the blood was actually getting there.
She stopped talking about the divorce.
The boxes she'd been packing went back into the closet.
She started looking at me the way she used to, back when we first got together.
That look that makes you feel like you're the only man on the planet.
By month three, she told me the sex was better than it had ever been.
Twelve years together, and she said it was the best it had ever been.
She was grabbing me in the hallway, pulling me into the bedroom in the middle of the day, texting me at work telling me to come home early.
The woman who had filed for divorce three months ago couldn't get enough of me.
All because I fixed my blood flow.
All because I gave my body one molecule it had stopped producing on its own.
