Beth and I met online 20 years ago, emailing back and forth for a good while before our first date – but once we met in person we only waited a few days to have sex. I brought dinner over to her place, but both of us were too distracted to eat.

It really surprised me how eager somebody could be to go to bed with me – and how open-minded Beth was sexually. By that point in my 50s, I struggled to maintain an erection naturally but it never diminished her enthusiasm in bed, or mine. For me, orgasming is just one small part of sex; with the right person, just being naked together is pure joy.
