waiting for the perfect 10?
My girlfriend tells me that she loves me regularly. Whilst I care for her a lot, deep down I’m not sure that I feel the same. However, when I look at it intellectually there are so many things about the relationship that are good and it’s much better than being single. Continue reading

Mechanical Sunday Mornings
I’m 53, living with my partner for 10 years and am very happy. However I am not really interested in sex, but he is. We have rather mechanical sex on a Sunday morning, but I am aware that he has to do all the work. I have never had a vaginal orgasm with him, although there was no problem with previous lovers. I think he is quite small, but of course we can’t discuss this, and anyway what could we do about it? I never actually feel sexy, but enjoy a clitoral orgasm. We started off with a passionate sex life where I made as many moves as he. Continue reading

They disappeared once they’d unlawfully got what they wanted. Continue reading
