“‘I know most men go in for love affairs,’ he said. ‘Some of them can’t help it. They can’t get on at all without women, but there are plenty of others–I daresay you haven’t come across them much–who don’t really care about that sort of thing, but they don’t know any reason why they shouldn’t, so they spend half their lives going after women they don’t really want. I can tell you something you probably don’t know. There are men who have been great womanizers in their time and when they get to my age and don’t want it any more and in fact can’t do it, instead of being glad of a rest, what do they do but take all kinds of medicines to make them want to go on? I’ve heard fellows in my club talking about it.'”
Evelyn Waugh, Sword of Honour
