Embarrassing advice

I'll keep this as short as possible.

I'm in my fifties - haven't been in a new relationship for 30 years.

I've very stressed. A very romantic weekend has been booked - no-one has ever done this for me before.

But I have absolutely no clue what to do in the bedroom.

Am I expected to wax? What about underwear? I don't even know what sexy knickers are when you're old and overweight.

ANY advice VERY welcome!!!

How exciting!!maybe a tidy up in the bikini area? Depends what you're used to and what you like, I'd go out for some nice new undies that made me feel sexy....

Merryoldgoat · 01/03/2019 21:16

No one cares about knickers - the most important thing is to make yourself feel at ease so you can enjoy the weekend.

Make yourself look nice to get some confidence, get your hair nice, get some comfy well fitting underwear and a nice robe that you can waft around in.

Have a fab time.

AssassinatedBeauty · 01/03/2019 21:16

Just be yourself. If you don't normally wax then don't. Wear underwear you feel comfortable, happy and confident in.

It sounds lovely, and I hope you can enjoy yourself.

JayneyMc4 · 01/03/2019 21:18

50s is not old!!
Obviously the man in question thinks you're fab as you are so stop worrying.

Merryoldgoat · 01/03/2019 21:18

I like to shave my legs, armpits, tidy the bikini area (I favour a full bush though) and make my hair all big and bouncy so I can pretend I’m super glamorous.

Nice perfume or body wash too - makes you feel ‘finished’

LaughingCow99 · 01/03/2019 21:19

Exfoliate so your skin is soft, wear a lovely perfume and yes, a lovely robe to waft around in (love that Grin)

Iflyaway · 01/03/2019 21:20

Well, I'm past my 50's.

Knickers are chucked on the floor anyway so don't worry about buying anything new! Smile

Just go with the flow. And Enjoy!

midlifecrisis12 · 01/03/2019 21:22

Ah thanks everyone - you've made me feel better already

As my grandad likes to tell us to make us laugh at family parties.... 'you young'uns think you invented sex....well we've been doing it a lot longer!' so I'm going to go out on a limb and say nothing has changed!

Be yourself, feel comfortable and enjoy!

VictoriaBun · 01/03/2019 21:34

Buy some lube. Please ensure a condom is used ( if person is male obvs 😉 ) but defiantly safe sex. Enjoy yourself.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:37

Remove whatever hair you feel comfortable with op!
Maybe get a pedicure? That always makes me feel glamorous.
A massage beforehand or a long swim would relax you.
And I love the idea of big hair and a wafty robe Smile
A squirt of your favourite perfume & you're good to go! Don't forget the condoms & lube!
😁

midlifecrisis12 · 01/03/2019 21:41

OMG would you really turn up with lube?

OP posts:
midlifecrisis12 · 01/03/2019 21:44

And I'm also worried about needing to go to the loo - there's just so much intimacy!

OP posts:
barryfromclareisfit · 01/03/2019 21:45

Yes, have lube and condoms with you, just in case. Older men ‘forget’.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:45

Yes to the lube!

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:47

Why are you worried about going to the loo op?

midlifecrisis12 · 01/03/2019 21:47

Oh god this is hideous! How do you suddenly introduce lube??? I don't even know where you get it from!!!

OP posts:
midlifecrisis12 · 01/03/2019 21:47

The thought of a smelly poo in a hotel room!!

OP posts:
SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:48

Just go to boots or Sainsbury's it's with the condoms. It will make sex much more relaxing for you.
Presuming you want to sleep with this guy?

midlifecrisis12 · 01/03/2019 21:48

Yes I do - it's just all very quick!

OP posts:
SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:49

Bless you Smile
Everyone poos op.
Open a window?

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:49

How quick?

mrsfollowill · 01/03/2019 21:49

You can buy it from Sainsbury's - don't panic and you don't have to announce you have used it either- keep it in your sponge bag in the bathroom and if you think you may need it pop in there!

MakeItAmazing · 01/03/2019 21:49

Are you sure you're ready for this and want to do it ?

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:50

Not that it matters how quick of course. I'm just being nosey.
