CHOICE With
LOVERS NEEDN’T KNOW...
As we saw with The Masked Dancer — a show which, let’s be honest, wasn’t nearly as much fun as The Masked Singer, which in turn wasn’t nearly as much fun as eating your own toenails — TV is rapidly running out of ideas.
And TV bosses know this only too well.
So I’d imagine some of them will be watching the big documentary on BBC Two tonight and cursing themselves for wasting such a huge opportunity.
HORIZON SPECIAL: THE VACCINE (9pm) is a fascinating look at how scientists set about developing a way out of Covid. And in telling that story, it reminds us that there wasn’t just one way but several. The programme hears from experts from five continents, all of whom worked on different vaccines based on different techniques but all of whom had the same urgent goal.
It really is inspiring stuff. And what’s the betting that somewhere in Tellyland, some exec will be thinking: “Wow, this would’ve made the best reality show ever — a competition to see which bunch of boffins got there first and saved the world. We could have given the winners a really great prize, like a speedboat or a chance to meet Little Mix.”
Other TV treats tonight include INSIDE TESCO: 24/7 (7pm, Channel 5), a new series telling the story of what’s now our biggest supermarket but which started off as an East End market stall.
There’s also the final of THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE (9pm). Will the winner be Karen, Peter or Lou? I doubt it, as the finalists are called Serena, Raph and Rebecca.
I’VE hooked up with a really unusual guy.
He’s fascinating, unconventional but generous and attentive too. He’s quite a bit older than me and isn’t interested in sex.
We don’t even hug or kiss. He’s been married twice before and claims his bonking days are over.
He lives in a huge house that is full of nooks and crannies. He has exotic art on the walls and loads of nude statues. My parents would be astonished. I’ve never been anywhere like it.
Saucy
I stay over a couple of nights a week, but always in a spare room.
The other night he said he wouldn’t mind if I brought other guys back for sex – as long as he can watch. He could even give me a couple of pointers about the kind of stuff he’d like to see – spanking, bondage, sex toys etc.
All very light hearted, saucy and fun. Is that odd? He made the suggestion sound like the most natural thing in the world, but I’m not sure.
Then he admitted there are spy holes in all the rooms. Even if my new lovers aren’t up for a fullblown show, then he’d willingly take up a secret position and discreetly watch in silence.
Again, is that weird? I must admit I’m not the most experi
enced or worldly girl around. I come from a very ordinary background and haven’t met many “arty” types like him.
A couple of his friends drop over from time-to-time and they strike me as being as bohemian and chilled as he is.
Perhaps this is how people with money always behave?
I love being in his house – the amazing food, the drink, the cash and heady atmosphere. But do I really want to bring back other guys for him to ogle?
JANE SAYS: I worry this devious character is attempting to manipulate and groom
you. Remember if something seems too good to be true, then the chances are it is.
At the moment your new friend is treating you to good meals, nice wine and cash.
Don’t you think he’s going to want something in return? No-one is that generous. If he isn’t interested in having sex with you, then his “thing” is clearly voyeurism – defined as the practice of gaining sexual pleasure from watching others when they are naked or engaged in sexual activity. Sound familiar?
Basically, he’s suggesting you bring back handsome
young lovers so he can get off on watching you in action. You might know what is going on, but if you are not up front with your lovers – and they don’t give their full permission to be observed – there is an issue of legality.
Also, what if your friend films these encounters and puts them online or attempts to blackmail you or others?
Be careful. I really don’t like the sound of this exotic creature. Speak to your family and don’t hold anything back. Don’t feel embarrassed.
I worry he’s attempting to flatter and use you.
