10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Subject You're not as sexy as you think you are.

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty year old married woman

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: and my husband and I have been together for six years.

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: We have a three year old son, and since I

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: had the baby, our intimacy has gotten a little stale.

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: We tried role playing, watching videos, and talking dirty to

16
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: keep the magic going, but nothing helped. A friend suggested

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: we put a full length mirror next to our bed

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: because it worked for her and her hubby. They love

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: watching themselves getting it on. My husband and I decided

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: to try it. We bought a big mirror and put

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: it right next to our bed. The first night we

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: got busy, I was disgusted and utterly mortified at what

23
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: I saw. I haven't lost all the weight from when

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: I was pregnant and seeing myself from those angles and

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: in the crazy positions my husband likes. I was ashamed

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: at what I saw, and he did not look that

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: great either. I was so turned off by watching us

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: get it on, but my husband loved it. I tried

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: to keep my eyes closed, but he wanted me to

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 1: look him in the eye the entire time.

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: I faked it. I faked it until he was done.

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: He asked me if I loved it, and I yelled, peck, no,

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all. He said that I

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: had to get used to it because he feels like

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: our sex life is back to normal.

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: I want to crack the mirror and throw it out.

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: I tactfully told him that he's overweight and so am I,

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: but he said he doesn't care how he and the

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: mirror is staying. I have been dieting since then to

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: get myself back in shape, and I've lost a few pounds,

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: but he is not working out or dieting, so I'm

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: stuck looking at his big, wide naked behind all the time.

43
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: How do I tell him you were going to like

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 4: that a lot?

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: How do I tell him that he is not sexy

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: without insulting him or making him feel self conscious. Please advise, well,

47
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm glad at least you found

48
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: something thanks to your good friends to help you get

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: your groove back, A big mirror. Who knew that was

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: the answer, because you said your sex life have been

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: getting stale, so this is good. I mean, you could

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: look at this at least a couple of different ways.

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: You can choose to concentrate on your partner's body like

54
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: you've done, and not, you know, get into the act itself.

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: That would be boring and utterly disgusting, as you said,

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: because you couldn't get past his body or yours at

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: the time. The way you could look at it is

58
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: just to go with the moment and forget what he

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: looks like, just you know, get into it. The good

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: thing is that it did motivate you, I'll say this

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: to get in better shape for yourself, which is good

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: for your health. But you want to know, how do

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: you tell him that he's not sexy because you don't

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: want to do it without insulting him or making him

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: feel self conscious. I mean, you said you said you

66
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: told him that you didn't like it, and he said, well,

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: he did in the mirror staying. So you got to

68
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: try and persuade him, you know, in the best way

69
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: you can. And sounds like you know how to do

70
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: it because he's happy now to let him know that.

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: You know, why don't you guys, you know, get healthy,

72
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: eat better so you can look good in the mirror.

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: That turns you on.

74
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: You have to tell him stuff like that so he'll

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: get into it, all right. I think if you tell

76
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: him in that way, you know he won't feel self

77
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: conscious about it and you won't insult him, all right, Steve.

78
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: Well, well, well, well you ain't as sexy as you

79
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: think you are. Fallly, thirty year old married woman husband

Speaker 3: and you know that intimacy kind of got a little stale.

82
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: So they tried some things, you know, they were doing.

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: Role playing, they been watching videos, talking dirty, but nothing

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,560

Speaker 3: ain't lost all the weight from when I was pregnant,

90

Speaker 3: and that's understandable.

91
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: Use that baby weight. It's hard to get it off.

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: But you now, you're too hard on yourself now and

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,280

00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: crazy positions your hoods were like, you ain't.

95
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: Know you look like that?

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,440

Speaker 2: I have four worn y'all.

99
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: The best way to look at yourself naked is fresh

100
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: out the shower. Don't dry off and walk directly, head

101
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: on straight to the mirror. That's your absolute best naked body.

00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: came out. See, I came out of the bathroom one

104
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: time taking the shower, and I was going over to

105
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: my closet and I walked past the mirror and I

106
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: ran right quick because I thought somebody was in the

107
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: bathroom and it was my fat ass.

108
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: I thought somebody was in the bathroom. I said, yeah.

109
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,719

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: the side, So to you seeing yourself from the side,

111
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 3: I was ashamed.

112
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: And he didn't look that great.

113
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: Eth you got so turned off watching, but your husband

114
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: liked it.

115
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: I try to keep my eyes closed, but he wants

116
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: me to look him in the eye the entire time.

117
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's a turn on, right there. I faked

118
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: it till he was done. He asked me if I

119
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: loved it. I said hell no. He said, you better

120

Speaker 3: to a friend of hers. Friend told him to add

134
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: spicing to his sex like when they put the mirror

135
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: up and they got busy. The woman did not like

136
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: the way she looked because she ain't lost her baby wit.

137
