#3 Dr Erika's Eruditions #3 - Goal Setting Gone Wild

Dr Erika's Eruditions #3 - Goal Setting Gone Wild
What do you think: Should you set goals? Or not?
Goal setting is generally assumed to be a good thing. However, it can also cause problems. It can:
- Reduce learning
- Reduce co-operation. Increase competition.
- Make people feel not effective; and therefore less engaged.
- Reduce doing something for the sake of doing it. Reduce intrinsic goals. Increase extrinsic goals.

It turns out that mostly people need less extrinsic motivation than we think.

You might want to have:
- Learning goals, rather then performance goals

In companies, additionally, goals can cause these problems:
- Increase unethical behavior.
- Increase risk taking too much.
- "By setting goals, managers may create a hedonic treadmill in which employees are
motivated by external means (goals, rewards, etc.) and not by the intrinsic value of the job itself."
(Deci, 1971, 1975; emphasis mine).

I am announcing my new FaceBook bookclub:
Erika's Eruditions!
- The sharing of books that I loved reading; that are worthy of your consideration.
- Just meant to be an inspiration, reading that you may enjoy and that may make your life better.
- Take what fits, leave the rest. No need to argue about stuff.
- No regular schedule. Just whenever.
- The purpose is *not* to generate online discussion. Facilitating that is not my strength so I do not want to do that.
- Some posts are related to my work about midlife men and to other aspects of physical and emotional health.
- Some are random cool stuff that range from the scientific to the absurd.

Erika's Eruditions #1
Isn't it fun and enlightening when you get to see how a language reveals the world view of that culture?
I think that untranslatable words such as Savoir-faire are fun little snapshots that can show us other ways of seeing the world.

Examples from this book:
- Pisanzapra in Malay: Time needed to eat a banana
- Cafune in Brazilian Portuguese: The act of tenderly running your fingers through the hair of someone you love.
- Komorebi: The sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees.

This is important:
I give the amazon links as reference. However please do patronize your local indie bookstore!

From the author of Eating the Sun, an artistic collection of more than 50 drawings featuring unique, funny, and poignant foreign words that have no direct translation into EnglishDid you know that the Japanese language has a word to express the way sunlight filters through the leaves of tree...

About Vi**ra and Cialis: How They Are Similar

• • They have the same mechanism of action: via the dilation of the blood vessels.
• • They both require a prescription in the USA.
• • They both cost a lot for the brand name.
• • They are about to come out as generics. Some formulations may already be out as generics in USA however the dosages may be low.
• • They are already generics in some parts of the world.
• • Both may come out as over-the-counter medications in the future. Some formulations may already be out in USA however the dosages may be low.
• • They have been on the market for a long time. There have been millions of prescriptions written. So, we have a great deal of information about their amazingly good safety profile.
• • The doses that are optimal can vary hugely from man to man.
• • Both have the same cautions: Do not use with substances like poppers nor with nitrates for chest pain.

Occasions when men may choose to use Cialis or Vi**ra,
even if they usually do not take it:
• For the first time having s*x with a new partner
• For s*x in a distracting setting
• For s*x when he feels there is more at stake or when he wants some help to be able to relax about his s*xual function

Can you get physically addicted?
• You do not get addicted to Cialis or Vi**ra. If you have used them, you can stop using them anytime without problems. You will not get a rebound effect. Your function will not be worse later because you took these pills.
• You do not get habituated to them. That means that, in the future, you will not need more to have the same effect.
• As you get older, and your underlying function decreases, you may choose to use more of them to get the same effect. But that is because your body’s function has decreased, not because you are habituated to the drug or that the drug’s effect has decreased.
• Both medications could become a psychological habit if they are taken automatically all the time when there is no ED. So don’t do that!

Can I get an embarrassing uncontrolled er****on?
• Many men are worried about taking V or C because they fear a constant, uncontrollable er****on.
• This is not how these medications work; you still need the usual s*xual and physical arousal activities to get hard.
• It’s just that the stimulation is more effective with the drugs than without them.
• If you sit around waiting for an er****on to appear out of nowhere, then you will be disappointed.
• If you take the meds, and then you get juicy with your partner, you will find your p***s responding in a very natural way.
• When the stimulation ends, the er****on will subside, as usual.

Why Can Midlife Men Have Best S*x Ever?
And Their Partners Too!

The standard way to look at middle age and s*x is to assume that s*x gets worse over time:
• There will be less s*x. 

• There will be less juiciness and s*xy thoughts. 

• There will be more bodily aches and pains that will interfere.

• The men will have less s*xual desire. They will lose their drive to have s*x.

• The men will have decreased or no er****ons.

• Their partners won’t be interested any more.

• The bodies are not attractive enough any more.

• It’s too embarrassing: older people are not supposed to be s*xual.

• Everyone is too crotchety and irritable to have fun.


These statements are myths! They are all things that can be fixed or worked around. Middle aged men and their partners can definitely have best s*x ever because:

Let’s talk about:
- What makes it the best s*x ever?
- What can you do to optimize your chances for your s*x life to the best it can be?
- What are the possible pitfalls? They are discussed in the chapter on that topic.

Middle aged life in general is ‘best ever’ for many men - and women - because:
- They are in the fullness of their rich life experience.
- They have gained perspective on what’s truly important. And what is not.
- They have learned a lot about themselves, and they use that information.
- They have figured out how to manage themselves to be happier in their own skin.
- They have learned a lot about nurturing relationships.
- They know how to listen to women, and how to talk to women.
- They have realized that they will die. And therefore they are willing to make more effort and take more risks to live life to the fullest.
- They have ‘arrived’: In life, in their work, in their accomplishments.
- They are quietly confident in themselves.
- They have more time because the kids are grown up, and work is less consuming.
- They have more physical space and privacy because the kids have left home.

Midlife s*x is best ever for many men - and women - because:
- They translate this life learning from the list above into their relationship life and their s*x life.
- They have a lot more s*xual experience now than they had as a young person.
- They have done and are constantly doing more s*xual learning.
- They have the time, energy, money, and curiosity to keep learning about s*x and about relationships.
- They have learned and are constantly learning s*xual tools and skills.
- They are more uninhibited.
- They are ready to break loose and explore more aspects of s*xuality.
- They have the maturity to slow down.
- They are less constrained and are willing to venture into areas of s*xuality that are more adventurous.
- They realize the finite-ness of life. And so they push themselves to look at their dreams and fantasies with more focus, and they also do that for their partners.
- They become more free spirited in many ways.

To optimize your s*x life in midlife:
- Seriously consider Daily Cialis.
- Consider testosterone for yourself.
- Find a medical practice such as my medical practice: Someone who really knows this material who will have your back for optimal mid-life health and s*xuality. Then make appointments often enough to continually optimize. My medical practice is available to men all over the USA.
- Create peak s*xual function for yourself. Observe yourself: What improves your s*xual function? What diminishes it?

To optimize your physical well-being for better s*x:
- Stay in good physical shape. Find ways to move your body that you don’t hate.
- Eat lightly to keep your weight down. However do not waste too much time and energy obsessing about the perfect diet.
- No alcohol. Or just minimal amounts on just a couple of nights per week. If you cannot do minimal use of alcohol, just stop it completely. It’s poison for you.
- Not too much use of cannabis either.

The Difference between Cialis and Vi**ra

When would you choose one over the other?

What is the difference in their effects?

How are the two pills different?

Vi**ra

• The generic is called sildenafil.

• It kicks in faster, in about 30 to 60 minutes.

• It is shorter-acting: It lasts for about 2 to 4 hours.

• You can take it up to 4 hours before s*x.

• It has to be taken on an empty stomach. If you take it with food in your stomach, it will not do much.

• It is way more effective with little or no alcohol on board.

• It has more side effects in terms of skin flushing, stuffy nose, headache than Cialis.

• Vi**ra is not used on a daily basis.

• Vi**ra packs more “oomph” than Cialis: It has a stronger effect for that shorter period of time.

How do you take Vi**ra for a dinner date?

• This is the problem that occurs on many dates: You go out. You have a couple of drinks, then you have a nice big dinner with wine. Then you swallow your Vi**ra and …. nothing happens.
• On dates: I agree with Dan Savage of Savage LoveCast: Have s*x first! Then go out to dinner after the s*x. S*xual function and s*xual energy are so much better with an empty stomach and without the alcohol.
• You can take the Vi**ra before eating. But a big meal will still make it much less effective. So you would eat very lightly. So, yes, men do go through a lot of trouble to please the ladies!



Cialis

• The generic is called tadalafil.
• It kicks in more slowly: it takes 2 to 3 hours to take effect.
• It lasts longer: 1 to 2 days. It is the “weekend drug.”
• You can take it with or without food.
• It is also more effective with little or no alcohol on board.
• It has much fewer side effects than Vi**ra.
• Some side effects, like skin flushing, are less severe than Vi**ra.
• Some men do notice the side effects of heartburn, flushed face, stuffy nose, and back pain.
• Most people are familiar with taking Cialis as needed for s*x. For an occasion where there will be s*x or might be s*x, then you take some Cialis.
• It can also be taken via a method called Daily Cialis. You take some Cialis every single day, whether s*x is planned that day or not. The dosage often is less than one would take for the per-occasion method, however the dosage can be adjusted upwards if needed.
• Daily Cialis has a surprising multitude of general health benefits that are unrelated to the s*xual effect. You can read about that in my book Daily Cialis: Best S*x Ever for Midlife Men - and Their Partners. https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Cialis-Best-Ever-Midlife-ebook/dp/B07CMGJZ7D/ is the link so you can check it out.

We will talk about these topics more in later posts.
