I heard the doorbell, and I knew who it was. I'd made the appointment a week ago, and wondered how I'd respond when the time came. And now the time was here.
I'm Suzanne, an empty-nester in my forties, and I had to share my story. It all started when I saw an advertisement for a clinical way to relieve a woman's sexual anxiety. Given that my husband's idea of sex was to lube me up and screw without foreplay, finishing in minutes and leaving me horny and frustrated, I was interested.
Based on the doctor's background as a psychologist, he said he knew that many women were not satisfied with their sex lives at home, leading to frustration, like mine. They needed some help, and like the doctors of old knew, a little sexual stimulation leading to an orgasm usually worked. The therapy wasn't sex in the usual sense, but it could give me great relief. I was interested and called. He told me how it worked, and it sounded good, so I made the appointment for an afternoon when hubby would be at work. The week dragged by, but now he was here.
I opened the door and let him in. He was older than me, maybe in his fifties, and looked fit in a polo shirt and slacks. After brief pleasantries, he suggested we have the therapy in my bedroom. I thought I knew what to expect, up to a point anyway, and led him to my room. He asked me to undress and lie on the bed, so I slipped my sandals off, unbuttoned my blouse and took it off, followed by my jeans. Standing in my underwear, I paused. The moment of truth. Could I get naked in front of a strange man in my bedroom?
