You may be part of a vanishing breed but women will be attracted to you.

After my 1st divorce some well meaning friends thought that an elixir for my happiness might be to introduce me to a woman (Judy) they knew from work.

My friends proved to be right. Judy was easy to talk to and very easy to look at.

After a few cuppa dates in town, we progressed to dinner at her house.

She was divorced, children grown; she live alone in the marital residence that she won in the divorce settlement. I determined that Judy and the house were both magnificent that night.

After a sumptuous affectionately prepared meal and wine, I realized I had the decidedly unromantic urge to pee. I was forced to inform Judy of this in the middle of a semi-intimate conversation.

My attentive date pointed out a beautifully appointed half bathroom just off the room where we were having our after dinner flirtation.

Once in the bathroom, I reconnoitered and and found the toilet had a high water level. The bathroom door was hollow core. I figured it wasn’t particularly soundproof. In an over abundance of desire to keep the noise as modulated as possible, I considered SITTING DOWN to pee.
