Hard

By Gary Gray

When the doctor told John that the reason he couldn't get an erection was due to performance anxiety, John thought he was crazy. The doctor was insistent, however, and prescribed rest and relaxation and a complete embargo on any sexual thoughts or worries.

John figured it couldn't hurt, and headed up to visit his old college friend Matt, who was married and lived with his wife on Lake Superior.

When a long hike around the lakefront property sent John to the guest bathroom for a shower, though, he soon found that his friend Matt had secrets, and that those secrets would mean he got a little dirtier before he got clean...

...and hard.

Thirty minutes became forty, and just as I was about to get up and go find out what was keeping the good doctor, the door open and in he stepped, carrying a thin folder.

Sorry about that, he said. Girl showed up in full labor. Drove herself, mind you. This was as far as she made it.

I let out a deep sigh. No worries, I said. I raised my eyebrows, looking pointedly at the folder, and after a moment, the doctor got down to business.

Right, he said. I've got your test results. We did a complete panel, John. We checked everything I could think to check and a few things I didn't think would matter, just because you asked me to -- and, well, I've got good news and bad news for you.

My heart tumbled down into my stomach. Bad news. And?

The good news, the doctor said, is that you're perfectly healthy. Everything checks out. There are no markers for heart disease or diabetes, nothing wrong with your kidneys or your colon, no signs of STD or infection, no cancer...nothing. You're a normal, healthy, thirty year old man.

Relief washed over me, but it was soon replaced with tension. Okay, so I was perfectly healthy. Why, then, did I have my problem?

The bad news, then, the doctor went on, "is that I can't figure out any medical reason
