Got divorced at 26.

After I recovered financially, at about 28, the pussy flowed like a biblical flood for several years.

I was having the time of my life, while watching my ex-wife's life completely collapse. Turns out the guy she left me for was a worthless bum that couldn't hold a job.

That is right around the time i became an adult, and quit doing stupid shit. For the most part anyway. I did continue to ride a sport bike and fast when i wanted an Adrenalin rush. Maybe ran from a cop or two. Also this was about the same period i quit drinking. Kind of lost all appeal to me. Now i might have 4 drinks one year and none the next and those time were just because it was socially expected. Not because i wanted to because i was expected to. I guess i got it all out of my system in my late teens and early 20s
