Most boozers that I had sex with, either are good just for quick sex or no sex at all since they can not get it on. Alcoholics, have more and more difficulties having sex, and eventually they can not get it hard at all, unfortunately !!
So, maybe I can guess that Ennis and Jack had less and less sex, if they kept on drinking booze all those years ?
And of course, with booze, communications are harder an dharder too, and at times null, since it's hard to listen and to talk clearly !! Sad too !!
Remember the difficulties more and more that Ennis and Jack had ??
Even if they did meet regularly in some ways, they had commnications troubles !!
Au revoir,
hugs!
