Webmd lisinopril

Your description closely parallels my own experience, including some gynecomastia as a side effect of blood pressure meds (Lisinopril is the US brand), so my guess is your story is pretty autobiographical and VERY interesting to me. One thing I have doubts about is listening to augment your breasts. Listening to what? or is this another trick pulled by Autocorrect?

Another sexy hott tale!
you did some research for this one... Well so did I! WebMD says a woman CAN get and stay pregnant while going through the perimenopause stage you mention in this story. I asked the question and this was the answer.
Yes. Despite a decline in fertility during the perimenopause stage, you can still become pregnant. If you do not want to become pregnant, you should use some form of birth control until you reach menopause. This means you have gone 12 months without having your period.
Food for thought if you decide to continue this tale.

To follow up on DWornock's comment (07/31/11), it's possible the protagonist displays some behaviors that might be considered psychopathic or, more likely, sociopathic.
However, schizophrenia (as opposed to multiple personality disorder, a completely different syndrome) is marked primarily by catastrophically disorganized thinking and can be associated with other symptoms, such as delusions or hallucinations. Someone disabled by (untreated) schizophrenia could have trouble deciding how to button his shirt, let alone design a building. The character displays none of those traits.
For more precise information and updated nomenclature, WebMD and other web sites discuss mental and emotional disorders in more detail.

Your story suggests semen is stored in the scrotum, a common misconception.
Each time you do this additional seminal fluid is release into the scrotum, which eventually become very full and the desire to orgasm becomes more intense.
Semen is produced in the seminal vesicles (in the pelvic cavity, near the base of the bladder) and join the sperm (produced by the testicles in the scrotum) which are transported through the vas deferens where they are joined into the ejaculatory ducts, also in the pelvic cavity. Check me out in WebMD or elsewhere.
All of which detracts in no way from the great feelings and undoubtedly beneficial effects generated by your wife's routine. You forgot to mention how to get your wife to see the benefit of doing this routine, my only problem.

I wish it were impossible to access Literotica stories unless you first read this article by Blozo. Maybe the comment by Anonymous signed RKM, also. New to me was the data on the divider between rectum and vagina.
Observations
I had to Google to find that 5 cc=1 teaspoon.
I knew from my investigations going back to before the Internet era that average penis length was under 6. I just now checked WebMD which referred to a 2015 medical journal article that surveyed 17 studies involving a total of 15,500 penises, which were measured by medical professionals using a standard procedure. Average flaccid length -- 3.6 inches. Erect -- 5.2 inches. Circumference (around): flaccid -- 3.7 Erect -- 4.6 (this is about 1.5 diameter/across).
I would be interested in blozo's comments on hymen/cherry placement. After reading comments on stories, some time ago, I checked online, finding the hymen at the opening /mouth of the vagina. This would mean that Literotica stories with the penis 1 or 2 inches into the vagina before hitting the hymen, would be incorrect. Although blozo allows for medically incorrect in his stories for the sake of fantasy. I suppose Literotica would be boring (or less interesting) if everything were medically/biologically correct.
Also needed in this biological realism discussion is female breast size. I just now Googled and found a chart giving average breast sizes for U.S. and many European countries. With two exceptions they were all B (eg U.S.) or C (eg United Kingdom). However, myself, I wonder if bra sizing is consistent among different countries. Interestingly, WebMD says fat determines breast size. My daughter and son-in-law are both medical doctors. I wondered about breast size affecting milk production (is the baby of a small breasted woman shorted?). Their view was that the milk producing part of breasts is about the same regardless of breast size. (In other words, more fat in the breast does not increase milk production.)
Thanks for a much needed dose of reality to Literotica.

Interesting. Many human elements here.

Can't deny it's a loss for Mary and Alvin; certainly can't deny it scared everyone. No one ever forgets when a person's life is on the line--and certainly not if they're the one that has a hand in trying to save that life: that's real, gut-wrenching, white-knuckled rawness there. You captured all those things well, and surprised us with the last person we would expect to help out--Rachel. One never knows who one influences and truly reaches until the chips are down, right? She came up clutch when no one else could.

Somehow, a super-awful feeling struck me when Mary spotted, and it communicated to me she would suffer and lose the baby. Don't know why, since the story fronted no evidence to foreshadow it. I guess that's why I understand Mary feeling awful about the baby's death (who wouldn't), but to see Alvin lose it and play what if? I've lived many tragedies like this, so perhaps it makes me come off jaded at times, but to be blunt, Alvin had zero reason to hit that barn and break his hand when Mary needed him. First rule of tragedy: control the controllables; don't play what if; return to a regular routine as quickly as possible; keep your head about you. There's many ways to depict Alvin as human...but that unnecessarily added more pain, irrationally; why not have spent a lot of that space showing Rachel's inner thinking while she cleaned up that bloody mess, showing how she wanted to return the favor for all of Mary's kindness and generosity to her? Rachel deserves kudos, but the story would have hit harder with developing Rachel in that way--because in a small way--it would have bestowed on her the same kind of inner strength Alvin had to manifest when his father died unexpectedly. Another part could have been utilized to comfort Mary, to replace Danni's/Alvin's interlude from him acting stupidly; many should have reassured her **no woman** lets down her husband because her body miscarried--especially since Mary did nothing to cause it (she was very careful). Fact is checking with March of Dimes, WebMD and gynecologists, it's well-documented that 80% of miscarriages happen in the FIRST 13 weeks, and they happen because of severe genetic defects/problems with the baby's chromosomes (that greatly shocked me). The saving graces were they 1) decided not to check the baby's sex; 2) did not have an ultrasound to try to see it/take a pic of it (could have been done @ 6-8 weeks); 3) had not picked a name for it; assuming there's no internal damage, 4) they can try again. Basically, I classify this as very unfortunate, but not a tragedy by any means; all readers knew from Heather's statements that they got to Mary in time, and she would be fine. So after all was dealt with, then there could have been commiseration/grieving--after fully dealing with the emergency first.
