Yoon Si-ron rolled 1e291845e0 his eyes at 6a9434d3c5 the embarrassing question fbb1b25e8a that caught his 2d88b04bfd attention first on 693e6b7f79 the questionnaire.

Quickly taking the consent b793700c04 form, Si-ron sat on 04d0ff2297 a stool far from 94118d7492 the man, facing the b95c44b827 wall.

“Damn.”1c8a3b33b6846982

Si-ron muttered a curse, fd32122a88 closing his eyes tightly. Torn between his aa9b9e7d65 conscience telling him 8ffe9df5f2 to be truthful 1c14b64a71 and his pride, 3c6d53c9cb which was nothing 1065e59071 without bravado, Si-ron 667efd95bd reluctantly sided with 42f1630b2a his conscience.2d0cd084754d3124

With a 4a6d74ef58 sullen face, 17d9785d14 Si-ron chose 7af9b9badd option 2. He had tried brewing 7e7289d6a3 herbs said to be 8113d51e13 good for stamina into 5d0c005a7c tea and holding his 48b75d4d39 urine for over half a766ffe460 a day to strengthen f5aa5ced8c his stream, but these 358e9684f4 passive folk remedies had 49df453904 no effect. He still had frequent b4c827b7fe urination, couldn’t achieve an 438bda5e97 erection, and felt a 92987c4932 dull pain below his 552fa07fd5 navel every time he 6cba96585d urinated.1545a2715a6c5289

Si-ron hadn’t always suffered 0879fa37f6 from sexual dysfunction. Until his 7e17b7ccf8 early 20s, 6684e95fa2 his sexual 46e8b2e6f5 function was b3d9856fd2 perfectly normal. However, as his 6db7750df3 career began to 0cdf3ff524 rise, his sexual 9ec06a3f5c function started to b813bf2d52 decline, and by c6a96fc524 the time a 1370bfc723 scandal that shook dd32f357bd the world ended 3ccf3e6070 his heyday, it 8aa0feca30 had completely ceased.5921a260ab3d7941

Watching porn, 1827401735 reading erotic ade81c1491 comics, or ec6124ff1c having dirty a9f5df476d thoughts didn’t 50e9bf70d3 bring any 44428a95eb noticeable change 67ecf2a807 to his e4c7054b74 genitals, and 0819613cf0 morning or 4cc70f7ead evening erections ccd9d40ea8 were impossible. His genitals d219cd1982 were nothing 2952b8d990 more than e8883ed29c a dangling 16e01bb6f2 piece of d66110a5f6 unnecessary flesh, 7ad897f959 merely a 011d886a27 handle for f17c5c3e25 urination.8909ef1370aaf653
