I didn't really get into second gear until I was 30. My first wife was a nurse and she was very anti. I never really started caning it until 1990, when I was 29. I had to make up for being a late starter. It wasn't self-destruction - I was having fun. There was never any reason to stop doing it, because it was fun. It makes it much harder to give up. It wasn't even starting to hurt.
