THE SEX COACH
Things had gone to hell politically and I didn't think things could get any worse. They could and they did. Quickly. It seemed really bad when I heard the words, "We have to talk." Nothing signals disaster to a man better than those four words.
I was wrong, however, because when my wife and I talked that afternoon her words weren't meant to be unkind or announcing chaos or bad news or telling me she was leaving. They were meant to offer me some comfort. After the 'we have to talk' announcement, my wife said, "With all that has happened this week politically, I was thinking you'd be feeling so down, so depressed, that we should think of something you'd really enjoy doing. Something to bring you out of the doldrums."
"Thanks, baby," I said. "That's nice."
"I have been doing some reading lately, about men in their forties who go through a traumatic event and are in need of a renewal, an experience that helps resuscitate their emotional energy," she said. "Research tells us that men at your age may need a sexual rejuvenation, especially after a tragic or traumatic experience. It could be something like having an affair or something of that nature," she added. "An experience to bring up your spirits," she said.
"Something like this," she said handing me a picture. It was a photo of a young bronze-skinned girl in a tiny white bikini.
"A picture?" I said.
"Not just a picture, but a picture of someone who can help," she said. "Her name is Glory, and she is twenty-five and hires out to help rejuvenate men's libidos. She even has a license as a sexual tutor. She is licensed by the State of Nevada to provide her services for money. We have a room in Las Vegas in two weeks and I have employed her to help you feel rejuvenated, to help bring you back to feeling normal again."
She smiled. "Interested?" she asked.
I looked down at the picture. She was gorgeous. Her breasts were medium sized but perfectly shaped. Her nearly naked body was beautiful, her hips were lovely and clearly exposed by the very brief suit. Her face was exquisite and her smile was sexy and she looked slightly bashful. I looked up at my wife.
"You've employed her?" I asked.
"For one whole night," my wife said with a smile. "She would be a prostitute here, but in Las Vegas she is a sexual coach, a therapist for horny male clients."
"And you've already paid?" I asked.
"Credit cards are wonderful things," she said, "especially for sex."
"And you were sure I'd say yes?" I said.
"Are you kidding? Did you look at that picture?" she asked. "Are you my husband? Yes, I was sure," she said with a cocky smile.
"And you'd give me a night with a sexual therapist to be personally counseled?" I asked with a skeptical grin.
"Not only would I, but I did already," she said. "I love my husband and I don't want him going through sexual distress. It is money well spent," she said. "She has been trained and certified to help men achieve sexual success and find physical happiness. You have her for the night. I will be in the same hotel with room service and a television, and slot machines just down the hall."
I kissed her, shook my head, and shrugged. "Okay," I said, "if you're sure."
"I am sure and okay with it. It's like you having a doctor's appointment," she said.
"To have sex?" I said, incredulous.
"To get sexually coached," she said with a grin.
We drove to Las Vegas two weekends later. On the way we talked about everything but Glory, who had been hired for me to enjoy and learn about sex from. As we got closer to Sin City my arousal grew, as did parts of my anatomy, and my heart rate went up exponentially. When I saw the casinos in the distance, my heart was racing and Claire smiled knowingly, as if she knew exactly what I was feeling.
"Getting excited?" she asked.
"To say the least," I said. "Glory will meet us at the hotel?"
"I will text her when we get about a block away," she said. "They know her at the MGM Grand. She tutors other men there," my wife said smiling. "It's sin city."
"You don't have a problem with Glory 'tutoring' me in sexual intercourse?" I said. She shook her head. "Sex with another woman?" I said.
"Sex with a professional," she said. "Like I said. It's like going to the doctor. She's a sex doctor. I just want the best thing for my husband's health and mental happiness," she said.
We pulled into the MGM Grand parking garage and Claire sent a text to Dr. Glory and said we'd meet her in the lobby. The people at the front desk knew her and smiled at us when we all got on the elevator together. On the way up Glory was very professional and explained the guidelines and what she would and would not do.
