Dear Wendyl, I thought twice about writing to you, but here goes. I’m in my forties and my husband is in his fifties. You would think that his sex drive might be slowing down but every morning – without fail – I wake up at 4.30am to what I have come to call a “prodding”. I push him away and go back to sleep but when I ask him not to do it he just laughs it off and says I should be grateful he’s so up for it at his age. How do I get him to stop? *

Dear Tired, I’m sure many women reading this can relate to your problem and are having a knowing chuckle. Why men think that every morning of our lives we will stand in awe of their virility, I have no idea. As with most of these questions, the answer is in communication and meeting him halfway. I presume you can find some time to have sex that isn’t at dawn, so make sure it happens and enjoy yourself. Then ask him if he wouldn’t mind keeping his manhood to himself when you’re asleep. Any grown man would understand he’s being unreasonable. If he doesn’t, then there’s nothing for it but separate beds for a while, until he grows up.Wendyl
