S5 Ep. 10: How to Set Up a Relationship So You Talk Openly About Sex, Why Am I Over-Sensitive After Orgasm, and Do I Really Have to Wear a Condom?

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) After a few relationships in my twenties, I have enjoyed ten years of being (voluntarily) single, but am now looking to meet someone new. I’m keen for my next relationship to have open, honest communication around sex. I know it’s easier to start as you mean to go on, so I’d like to ask when and how I can start to set this precedent.2) I'm a 42-year-old female and it has always taken me ages to orgasm, but once I've had an orgasm I'm so sensitized I can't be touched...anywhere. As a result I generally just fake it for my partner so he orgasms, and I always feel unsatisfied. Is this normal, or is there something I can do to desensitize myself?3) I’m 46 and back dating after a messy divorce. I was married for 20 years and am feeling a bit nervous about it all. My main concern is safe sex. I’m on the pill so am protected against pregnancy, but should I be using a condom? I didn’t like using them in my 20s but maybe they’ve changed now. What’s the etiquette? Do I bring some with me? Should I suggest it, or wait for him to? How likely is it to catch anything later in life?
