Rh life? But few men by their own efforts have ever accomplished anything of value in life who were not gifted also with a strong sexual instinct.

The importance of retaining the sexual power, of using it wisely and temperately, cannot be over-estimated. It is paramount.

Impotence sexually means impotence in everything, impotence mentally, physically, socially, etc. Your powers are fast waning—you might just as well be laid away without further notice.
