My ex and I hadn't had sex for a number of years when we eventually split up. Actually the thought didn't appeal at all and I have now realised that it wasn't just me not wanting to, it was me not wanting to do it with a controlling twat. So I am in the really early stages of a new relationship. If it comes to sex, how do you go about it with a new person after such a long time without sex at all? The last time I had sex with someone who wasn't my ex, I was young and slim and carefree and it was the early 1990s. Ffs, women had pubic hair in those days (and I still do!).
