How do you talk to your partner about sex?
“When it gets to the point where we’re near a time when we will meet up, then often we’ll become a bit more explicit and a little more intimate down the phone as to potentially what we’re looking forward to…”
How did your parents tell you about sex?
“I certainly don’t remember us having the archetypal birds and the bees talk. Erm... I don’t think anything was really mentioned.”
What does 'intimacy' mean to you?
“I think the fact that we found ourselves in this hotel room on this island in the Mediterranean, which sounds quite romantic in itself…”
How did you lose your virginity?
“I was 35 years old in actual fact. Er, something of a late starter. ”
How did you know you were ready to lose your virginity?
“I thought I’d probably been ready for quite some time to be honest. I’d been aware of how I was, how I felt since I was about 9 years old.”
What gets you in the mood for sex?
“My partner has found the best way to get myself in the mood is in actual fact to go for a out of the blue full on frontal chest assault.”
Have you ever been caught masturbating?
“By the time I sort of like opened my eyes and refocused I realised that, erm... ”
When were you sure of your sexual identity?
“By the age of 9 I was aware that I had definite interests in, as some would say, the male section of the catalogue rather than the female.”
“By that time I was certainly aware that I was homosexual and determined that it wasn’t going to be somebody else’s problem, I was keeping it all to myself and all under wraps.”
