Okay, just a short update. Still zero on the libido: one oncologist told me I would have to continue the testosterone-lowering injections for two more years (!!) which, thank God, another oncologist decided was excessive and another six months will suffice. If I can convince them, as soon at the radiotherapy is completed I will BEG to stop the treatment so my dick is useful for something other than peeing... =) Radiotherapy starts next week (w/c 20 Jan) and continues for most of February. Fingers firmly crossed this bastard thing will be in remission (or even killed completely) and I can go back to doing what I love to do: writing erotica. To all my followers all I can say is thank you for your continued patience. My best, Alex
And the prolonged silence continues, for which I can only apologise most sincerely. But... I do, unfortunately, have an explanation which is that I am currently undergoing hormone therapy as a prelude to radiotherapy treatment for localised prostate cancer. This involves artificially lowering my testosterone level because the tumour needs testosterone to grow. Which means I cannot achieve an erection and, to my despair, have little or no interest in sex. Without being aroused I cannot write and erotica is simply words. If I can surmount this mental obstacle I promise to do what I can to publish the two stories I mentioned and, eventually, return to active story posting. Thank you for your understanding. My best, Alex
I'm sure my prolonged silence must be testing the patience of my followers (for which sincere thanks) but it's simple to explain. First, I'm 71 now and have been writing erotica since 1999. There are only so many stories in any author and it's difficult not to feel I've written all mine. Second, the loss of R.M. Dexter (see below) continues to affect me. I discussed story ideas with him, plot developments, he read my every story in draft, and not having him there means that now I'm like a ship in a rough storm without a rudder and it's hard to stay motivated. BUT... I still have two long stories to publish and have finished 'Innocence Lost' so, let's say that, by the end of May, I will proof all of these and will post them. After that possibly silence but at least I will have gone out with a bang... =) My best always, Alex
The death of a friend is always traumatic. The - unexpected - loss of a very dear friend, the author R.M. Dexter on 30 April, traumatized me to the extent that I stopped writing completely. But... Dex always supported and encouraged me in everything I did on Literotica and he would want me to continue enjoying writing/publishing my stories. So, my apologies to my followers for the long silence: this has now ended. My best, Alex
Apologies for the sudden disappearance of my previous 'Alex Barton' page. One word by way of explanation: Covid. As I'm not a young man, it hit hard. As before, all my stories are anal-themed erotic fantasies intended to arouse, amuse and entertain my readers and include rimming, ass-to-mouth, felching and gay and lesbian bisexuality. If you find this objectionable, then please don't read them. My intention will be to republish stories that have appeared before under on the 'Alex Barton' page, but also completely new stories. I hope you enjoy them. My best, Alex.
