This is coming from a rider who has never had his dick wet, but when you are almost 18 and your testosterone levels are off the charts, masterbation just doesn't cut it anymore.
My wife calls my bike my mistress. She act's like she doesn't mind my riding. But I can tell she hates it. Every time I tell her about any progression I have made she just looks at me like, "why are you telling me about this, I don't really care" Find a girl you can ride with or who will support your riding or you are in for a lot of aggrivation.
