S14 Ep. 8: I Don't Want Him to Leave His Wife, Why Has He Stopped Initiating, and Can He Watch 'A Little Bit' of Porn if He Was Addicted?

Season 14, Ep. 8

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:


1) I’ve been single for a few years and was desperate for sex, so started an affair with a friend of a friend. I knew he was married, and it’s not my style to sleep with married men, but we all got drunk at a party and it happened. The sex was incredible, so we did it again. We’ve been meeting for sex about once a fortnight for a year now. To me, that’s all it is—sex. So imagine my surprise when he told me he wants to leave his wife for me. I have no interest at all in a relationship with him. He’s said he’s hinted to her that there might be someone else and told the mutual friend who introduced us what’s been going on. I’m going to come out of this looking very bad. How do I manage it?


2) I’ve been with my husband for 13 years and our sex is pretty good. We both used to take turns initiating sex, which is about once a week. Lately, he’s stopped initiating and leaves it up to me. He’s very happy to have sex when I do, but I don’t like it. I gently asked why he’s stopped taking the lead, and he said he hadn’t noticed any change so I just let it drop, but it’s bothering me.

 

3) I’m 31 and my boyfriend of two years is 25. We’re both really open about sex and he admitted early on to being addicted to porn and masturbation. He hasn’t done either—watched porn or masturbated—for over a year now. He’s in such a healthy place that I asked him if he wanted to start again. He was adamant that he doesn’t, for fear of becoming addicted again. Is that likely? I’m at a loss of what to do because I don’t want him to feel unloved or restricted.

  • 3. S15 Ep. 3: Kids Have Killed Our Sex Life, Sexual Shame, and Are mixed up people better in bed?

    24:41||Season 25, Ep. 3
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I’m reading lots of things on social media that suggest people who are emotionally volatile are better in bed. Is there any truth in this?2) Everyone talks about how having kids ruins your sex life. But no one talks about your wife never wanting sex ever again afterwards. It’s been six years since our last child was born, and we now have sex around three times a year. She has zero interest, and tells me I’m not being supportive for wanting sex with her when she’s so busy.3) I am a man in his mid-50s and have carried this for years: When I was 12 years old, my mother walked into my bedroom while I was masturbating and humiliated me for it. This has left me with intense shame ever since. How do you get over something like this? I feel uncomfortable even when a sex scene comes on when watching TV with my wife.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

  • 2. S15 Ep. 2: Late Bloomers, Sex Toys for Him, and Sex on Camera

    20:55||Season 15, Ep. 2
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I’m concerned about my daughter. She’s a virgin at 24. Once upon a time, a parent’s fear was teenage pregnancy. I’m worried because she’s not having sex at all. She’s beautiful, bright, funny, and has everything going for her, but has never had a boyfriend. I couldn’t wait to have sex. What’s going on, and should I talk about it with her?2) My boyfriend and I love sex toys. We have lots of toys for me, but nothing for him. He’s not into anal play. Other than a penis ring, is there anything else I could treat him to?3) I have a job that requires me to work in a different country quite frequently, often for three or four months at a time. Can you give some practical tips for intimate video calls? My wife is confused by what we’d do, and I don’t want it to feel awkward. Should we ‘finish’ on camera, or would that be too much?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

  • 1. S15 Ep. 1: Role-play, Am I Being Squeamish, and Meddling Friends

    18:09||Season 15, Ep. 1
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) Can you explain what role-playing games are? What would you recommend for guys, so it doesn’t come off as weird when I suggest it? I want something that women would find sexy and attractive. Also, do you really need to buy expensive costumes?2) After I’ve had intercourse with my girlfriend, she often asks me to give her oral sex if she hasn’t had an orgasm. Am I being squeamish for not doing this?3) How do you stop friends from meddling in your relationships? My friends dissect everything: how fast a guy texts back and the emojis he uses; they pour over his social media and put a negative spin on everything. I know they’re being protective because I’ve made some bad choices in the past, but they almost bully me into ending relationships they think I shouldn’t be in. I don’t want to lose their friendship, and I’ve asked them to butt out, but they continue to give unasked for opinions.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

  • 10. S14 Ep. 10: What Abstinence Does to Our Body and Mind, My Husband Left Me for a Younger Woman, and What Advice Would You Give Your Younger Self?

    27:37||Season 14, Ep. 10
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) My husband left me for a much younger woman. It happened two months ago, so the shock is wearing off, but I have no clue how to recover from this. I’m 51 and my husband is 55. He left me for a woman who is 30.2) If you could go back in time and give advice to your younger self about sex, knowing what you know now, what would it be? 3) What do you think would happen if you stopped all sexual activity, including masturbation? Would you go insane? Is it different for men and women? I am a man and just curious—I’m not going to try this.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

  • 9. S14 Ep. 9: Dildos, PE (Premature Ejaculation), and Threesomes

    23:50||Season 14, Ep. 9
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) A simple question for you: what do people use dildos for? I get why a vibrator is appealing, but why would a couple need one?2) I’m in a new relationship with the most patient, loving man. He gives me the most fantastic oral sex, often bringing me to orgasm without a toy. But, he suffers from terrible PE and will orgasm just from giving oral sex. What can I do to help him, as I would love to be properly penetrated again? We're not young. 3) My girlfriend and I have been together two years. I’m mid 40s and she’s 13 years younger than me. We’re both into the idea of a threesome, but can’t decide whether to have FFM or MFM. My girlfriend thinks a threesome once a month sounds like a great plan, but I’m not sure. She’s suggested asking our personal trainer who is very hot and single. I think it should be an escort, which I have used in the past. Can you help with the logistics?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

  • 7. S14 Ep. 7: Orgasm Shots, My Daughter's Ex is Hitting on Me, and I'm Trapped in a Miserable Marriage

    17:47||Season 14, Ep. 7
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) What’s your view on ‘O-shots’? My friend had one after menopause and says it rejuvenated her vagina back to what it was in her 30s. She says sex is amazing again. They are expensive, but I’m tempted. Are they safe, and what’s your take on them?2) So I know what you’re going to tell me, but I’m asking anyway: I’m 43, divorced, and have been single for three years. My daughter is 24 and recently broke up with her boyfriend. Her ex and I always ‘play flirted,’ and I’ve always found him sexy. But, I got quite a shock when he texted me after the breakup saying he can’t stop thinking of me and would I consider meeting up with him. My body screams yes—I haven’t had sex in two years and would kill to do it with him—but what would my daughter say if she found out? I feel like I deserve this, but don’t want to put my relationship with her in jeopardy. 3) What do you do when you can’t leave an unhappy marriage? I’ve been belittled by my partner for years and he’s behaved extremely badly. I stayed because my self-esteem was so low. Just when I’d plucked up the courage to leave—after telling friends the truth of what’s been going on—he delivers his news: he’s been diagnosed with cancer. I know what I’m in for—my life will now be spent caring for a man who doesn’t deserve the kindness this will take. But what would people say if I up and left now?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

  • 16. S14 Ep. 6: Sensitive Clitorises, He's Sexually Obsessed with My Friend, and Is My New Partner a Sex Addict?

    25:58||Season 14, Ep. 16
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) You’ve talked about penis size and sensitivity, but I haven’t heard you talk about clitoris size in that regard. I used to have a normal size clitoris, but after taking testosterone to help with low libido, it seems to have tripled in size. I have stronger orgasms now—but it takes so much longer to climax. I can’t figure out the right spot anymore: the sensitive area seems to have moved. Any advice on how to find it again?2) My boyfriend is obsessed with one of my friends. I’ve only met her recently and she is very attractive and posts a lot online. I trust him, but I recently caught him masturbating while watching a video of her online. It’s completely freaked me out. Does this mean he’s going to leave me for her or would rather be with her? 3) How can you tell if your partner is a sex addict? My new partner has admitted to a history of repeated cheating, and, while he wants lots of sex, he seems disconnected from me. He never makes eye contact during sex. My gut tells me something isn’t right. I don’t know him well enough to tell if he’s watching lots of porn, but he is paranoid about me picking up his phone. Am I overreacting or sensing something?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

  • 5. S14 Ep. 5: He Won't Experiment, Her Orgasm Leaves Me Out, and The Sex is Back—But Is It Here to Stay?

    27:03||Season 14, Ep. 5
    In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) My marriage has been sexless for five years—literally, no sex at all. I tried everything to make my wife see how important sex is, but she refused to even talk about it. We’re young—in our early 40s! It’s strained our marriage beyond repair; so, I asked her for a divorce. Instantly, everything changed. She initiated sex the night I told her, and we’ve had sex twice a day since. It’s good, enthusiastic sex and she appears to be up for anything. I don’t understand what this means and am too scared to ask. The million-dollar question is: will this last? Are our problems finally solved?2) I’ve been with my partner for five years and it’s the best sex I’ve had with anyone. But now, it feels repetitive and boring. I’m keen to push boundaries, like I did with my previous boyfriend, but he’s not willing to step outside his comfort zone. I suggested we find a partner for each other and watch, or go to sex club and just watch others. He says it’s not in his character to do those things. He’s not even interested in watching porn—I watch it by myself. What now? 3) My wife can only orgasm while lying on her stomach with her legs closed and using a vibrator. We’ve talked about it and tried many other techniques, but this seems to be the only way that works for her. Should I continue to encourage her to experiment and try new techniques? How can we avoid things becoming boring for both of us, especially me? To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey’s book, Great Sex Starts at 50?
