Please take a moment to know my wife and me to understand how much and how well Erica has handled our issues. My wife and I have been married 16 years, both widowers. I am Steve, 83, previously married for 46 years to the same woman. My wife is Judy, 87, married three times before. Judy never had an orgasm before she was 85. My first wife had never had an orgasm either!! I didn’t know what a clitoris was! I had prostate cancer (PC) at 79, and went three years with no testosterone as a result of the PC treatment. Thus no libido at all for 4 years. How could Judy understand that?? My libido returned when I started testosterone therapy, but complete ED remained. So I had a penile implant. About the same time we both started studying online about how to resume our sex lives together, but this time with better performance and more pleasure. After a year of going it alone studying online, we found Erica and began sessions via zoom. Erica is in Utah, and we are in Florida. Erica was first and foremost respectful, compassionate, and understanding. She had to be! Neither Judy nor I had ever seen a counselor before, let alone talk about our private most intimacy with a stranger. She was a tad surprised and amused at our age combined with our ambition. For Erica, our quest just lit her fire and she put us instantly at ease. She accepted the challenge of taking on a senior couple who barely knew the language of sex, let alone some of the very basics of sexual pleasure. Erica first helped us sort out what we had learned already and quickly moved us to a better understanding of where we should focus and paths to those ends. We weren’t an easy sell for Erica in the beginning. Meaning we thought we were more advanced in some of the information we “knew” and resisted (politely) some of the suggestions Erica made. But soon she completely won us over with her gentle persuasion and the successes we enjoyed by following her advice. A step back - I initially signed up with Erica for me to learn how to lead in our relationship - thinking that I was the one that really needed the coaching to get my act together. Also, I didn’t think Judy would accept talking to a stranger about such intimate issues. Was I ever wrong! When Erica first chatted with me she was in favor of meeting with us both in each session and coaching us as a couple. But understand that in some sessions we would talk to us individually for a few brief moments. Soon, our shyness wore off, and we conduct almost all sessions together now, side by side sharing one computer screen. Erica earned her first star up front by putting Judy at ease. That was no easy task looking back on it. We have gone a long way over the last 6-8 months with intermittent sessions punctuated with homework to help us dig deeper into new skills and thought processes. She taught us what it meant to get out of our brains and into our bodies (a major hurdle for us). Erica provides great training aids and online references that take us deeper into a subject that session time would not allow. Erica is very respectful of our fixed income, retired life. She found a way for us to achieve our goals. We quickly learned to be great students. And don’t forget that this remarkable coach is working with her clients who are older than her parents!! Both of us have already reached new levels of sexual understanding and emotional freedom and now have expanded our goals. While orgasm is often elusive, it is there and we have learned to relax and let it happen. Erica made us a believer that there is much more to an exciting sexual relationship than just reaching orgasm. Nooooooo?? She’s right!! So picture this, we have gone from frustration to enthusiasm, now enjoying 4-5 “playtimes” per week. Yes, we are retired. Judy often initiates - WOW - not even in my dreams or hers. While we have yet to reach some of our goals, we are ecstatic about the progress we have made. Oh, and did I mention that we have developed the most amazing mental, physical, and emotional stamina enabling us to maintain a high level of sexual pleasure for an average of 60-90 minutes per playtime? Did I mention that Judy is 88?? Did I mention that I use a penile implant and a vacuum pump just to stand up and get in the game?? You couldn’t write this script. Really. In due respect, Judy is the star student with her fortitude to do things she never considered. No small part is played by Erica who has opened so many doors for her to let go and enjoy herself. And for me, Erica has taught an old dog new tricks (woof) - which derives from a much better understanding of what my wife needs from me. Sadly, I spent 61 combined years of marriage with two women before I learned what the hell I was supposed to do and Judy had spent a similar time thinking she wasn’t good enough. Judy and I continue with Erica on a more relaxed schedule as we scale new heights. Judy is a changed wife, now turned full-time lover, and I am trying to keep up by finally doing my part, and loving it. Erica continues as my co-pilot helping me understand the intricacies of female passion and needs - Wow, is that ever a mystery. Without Erica, Judy and I would still be driving down a dead-end street searching for sexual paradise. I know this may be an unusual referral but I hope it portrays our relief in finding Erica, and our complete appreciation and enthusiasm for her. Especially for taking on such a challenging couple of senior “children” trying desperately to find true sexual pleasure. Hats off to Erica from “Geezers in Paradise.” Judy & Steve
