Growing up I sometimes heard the idiom “hits the spot”,
meaning ‘refreshes the body’ or ‘uplifts the soul’......rather
than not.
It could be said of a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter’s night,
or sex for a sex-starved man or woman.....when it is done “right”.
For a man pushing 70, sometimes his libido is flagging,
which can cause his dear wife to sometimes be nagging.
Of course it’s not always the man who can.....”do well without”,
and the cause may be different; it may be a marital bout.
But no matter Who or What is the “Fault”,
one, at times, should try harder.....to do what s/he ought.....
to do for one’s mate, be it husband, or lover, or wife,
the best, that can be managed, to again “hit the spot”.
