Speaker 1: It is the Strawberry Letter subject he wants to skip

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: the best part here Stephen Shirley. I am a seventy

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: year old woman with raging hormones like a thirty year old.

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: I love making love to a man that knows what

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: he is doing between the sheets. I met this man

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: about a year ago from an online dating site. After

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: five months of talking on the phone, we decided to

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: get together. Now. I've always thought of love making as

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: an art, and if you're not an artist, I am

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: not looking for a painter. I know my performance is

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: very artistic, or so I have been told. I like variety,

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: nothing too kinky, but a little variety. I told my

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: boyfriend that he will get quality if he gives quality.

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: I am big on getting things started in the right

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: way and not just jumping right to it. My boyfriend

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: started out doing the pregame show, but now he wants

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: to get to the main attraction right away. His stamina

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: is wonderful, so there are no complaints there. I constantly

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: wear sexy lingerie and he compliments me on it, but

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't take time to enjoy the presentation and unwrap

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: the package. He is a good man, very loving and giving,

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: and he is even talking about marriage. I would love

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: to marry him, but I need to know that he

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: is willing to romanticize me and keep it passionate and

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: not just do a wham bam, thank you man type

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: of deal. Stephen Shirley, how can I get him to

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: take his time and not just jump in. Well, I'm

35
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna say this. I do like the fact that even

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: at seventy years old, you're still being a boss in

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: the bedroom. Okay, you say you have hormones of a

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: thirty year old. I like that. I like that you

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: know what you want and all of that. I think

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: the problem with you two is you're You're not on

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: the same page, You're on different pages. Any smart man

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: knows that women love the build up. We love the

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: romance of it. All, we love the pregame show as

44
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: you call it. All of that for play is essential

45
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: for women. We get that part, yes we do. But

46
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: every single time though, every single time you gotta have

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: a big pregame show and all of that. No, ma'am,

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: just real life just doesn't work like that. I'm sorry.

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: And this is real life. It is not a game

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: as you call it. Uh yeah, you know, some people

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: just want to get to the main attraction. They really do. Uh.

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: Sorry to disappoint you, man, but that is how it

53
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: goes in life. When we get packages, I mean, think

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: about it, you know, when we do get gifts and packages,

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: sometimes think about Christmas. Sometimes you unwrap it, you know,

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: fold up the wrapping paper and fold the bow nice

57
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and neatly. And then sometimes you're so excited you just

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: tear into the package. You just ris the paper off,

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, you just snatch the ball off. You do that.

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's real life. Huh yo. This woman is

61
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: seventy Steve with the hormones of a thirty year old. Well,

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, anyway, we just tear open the packages,

63
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: we do, all right, So I have to say this

64
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: to you. You gotta go with the flow. Okay, you

65
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: gotta go with the flow. It should not be the

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: same every single time. It just shouldn't. You gotta go

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: with the mood of things. Life is unpredictable at times,

68
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: and so is sex in the bedroom and all that.

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: So um, you gotta you know, be a little flexible

70
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: here and think about that situation. Sometimes you rip it off,

71
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you go slow. All right, That's just how it is. Steve. Then,

72
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: know the letter is not about big well, you know

73
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: you was in here talking about getting stuff ripped off.

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Let's go over this letter a package. We got a

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: seventy we got a seventy year old woman that's living

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: with the raging hormones of a thirty year old. Now,

77
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: let's just stop right here for a second. That's scary,

78
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: dog on it. That's scary. And if you ask me,

79
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: you're a little late fall this year. You should have

80
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: had the raging hormones of a thirty year old when

81
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: your ass was thirty. You're seventy, now you're seventy. Now

82
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate it because I'm playing it on being, you know,

83
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: around at seventy. But I don't want to be like

84
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: I was at thirty. For the purpose of this letter. Okay,

85
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: the lady says, I love making love to a man

86
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: that knows what he's doing between the sheets. Well, hell,

00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: he's seventy out of hell. He don't know what he's doing.

88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: If you ain't experienced by seventy in the bedroom, you what? What?

89
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: What was you doing? You've had seventy years to get

90
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: it right. If you ain't doing it right right now,

91
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Pardner. You can push your chips up to

92
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: the wind. Now, she said, I met this man by

93
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: the year ago on the online dating sight and after

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: five months of talking on the phone, we decided to

95
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: get together. She says. Now, I thought of love making

96
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: as an art, and if you're not an artist, I'm

97
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 1: not looking for a painter. Now, let's analyze that line
