@RozzieSutton Ah bless you. I totally know what you mean, and I'm glad you got through it. I found myself wondering if the first one is the worst or if it's going to be the same every year.
            
            Honestly, writer to reader, the reason I work the kinks into the story is to be able to write intimacy without risking the story being taken down. Watttpad are a nightmare for it.
            
            With that being said, in the story I think Jay is a bit wary of talking to Erin about it because he remembers the time she borderline criticised his performance in the bedroom. He wants to improve, but without telling her he wants to improve if that makes sense.
            
            It is a tricky dynamic with Raquel being Erin's friend and employee. I think she sees herself first and foremost as Jay's ride or die though, so she would help him. And he only needs fairly obvious advice to be honest. He needs to get as into Erin's glove kink as much as she is. He needs to be excited when she wears them. And the same for the mouth covering and taping, which came from him in the first place and now Erin gets into it more than he does.
            
            I can see Raquel telling him that if Z liked those things, she would wear gloves for her and tape her up every night! 
            
            With Jay it's about getting past mental blocks, as he had to around his work. Once he did that, he has become an amazing leader for the women.

@BadassBurgess Hi, Christmas was both lovely and difficult simultaneously, we missed her terribly but raised a glass and spoke of her through the day. Seeing family over the period highlighted her absence more and it felt very heavy. 
            Her house has already sold so the daunting challenge of moving all her possessions out is creeping closer, that feels like another deep breath and push through moment. It all feels very odd and the constant feeling of emptiness is overwhelming, I’m sure you can sadly relate. 
            
             I’m glad you had a good Christmas and I’m really happy you were able to be creative. 
            
            I really like the idea of seeing more Erin and Jay obviously, I bloody love their relationship. 
            I agree that he maybe needs to be more comfortable with his bedroom antics but how he achieves that is challenging. 
            
            I think Requel is brilliant at building his confidence and helping him navigate uncharted waters and so I know she would put on her non judgmental and good friend cap  and she would give  him her best advise but, it also feels a little weird! yes she is his best friend but she is also developing a friendship with Erin and she is Raquel’s boss!. I would be interested to see a conversation between Erin and Jay to see how Erin would feel about him seeking advice from someone else.  I can imagine she would feel awkward and uncomfortable with the situation (maybe?). It’s a shame he hasn’t got a close friend that is a little more removed from that immediate circle. 
            
            That’s a really difficult situation. Which way are you leaning?

@RozzieSutton Hey, how are you? Hope you had as good a christmas and new year as possible under the circumstances?
            
            I did, and during the down time I published some other stuff I'd had lying around and some outlining for Reality. The wrestling stuff is fun to write with all the various characters, storylines and so on. Showing Jay having fun and bonding with his friends has also been fun. But what I want to show is more Jay and Erin, especially now she's pregnant. I'd like to write intimacy for them more often. And part of that includes Jay trying to get better/more comfortable at exploring the things they enjoy in the bedroom. I know you'll be up for that of course, but what I'm thinking is could Jay talk through it all with Raquel without it being weird? He kind of tried to do that once in the story but felt bad about it. So it's a tricky one to decide how to write all told. Any thoughts?
