S9 Ep. 6: Is Being Intense a Turn-Off on Dates, Antidepressants Have Wrecked my Sex Life, and Tips on Trying New Things in Bed

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I’m wondering if I’m a little full on too early on when I go on dates. I love having deep, intense conversations and hate small talk. Some men seem to love it, but one guy recently told me I was a ‘bit heavy’ and to ‘lighten up a bit.’ What’s your view on this?2) I was diagnosed with depression in my early 20s and have been on and off anti-depressants all my life. When I take the pills, I have no desire to have sex at all. When I do, it’s not enjoyable: stimulation feels stunted and it’s hard to reach a climax. My mood is better when I’m on them, but I feel I have to stop them for the sake of my relationship. My partner is very understanding, but it’s not fair: we’re only in our late 30s. I’ve been off them for three months this time and not noticed any return of my libido. Will it eventually come back?3) We’re a straight couple in our early 40s. We’d both rate our sex life as good, but we are a bit lazy and don’t try new things very often. Maybe we aren’t terribly imaginative. Any suggestions on what to try? Also, how often should you try something new?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?
