We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you, nephew. Subject he's not used to the real thing.
Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a fifty one year old married
woman and my husband is fifty three years old. We
got married in January after dating seven months. He said
he knew I was the one because I'm mature and
I'm financially stable. I knew he was the one because

(00:46):
he seemed to be settled and ready for a real woman.
This is the first marriage for both of us, and
he admitted to dating much younger women in the past.
He also admitted to getting a BBL for one of
the girls he dated, and then she left him for
a man her age. He had been hurt a lot
in the past, and so had I. He wanted to

(01:07):
wait until marriage to have sex, but I wanted to
see what I was getting before I married him. I
respected his wishes and we had sex two days after
we got married because he got food poisoning the night
of our wedding. When we first had sex, I noticed
he put on a condom, but I didn't say anything.

(01:27):
For the second round, he put on a condom again.
He wears one every single time we are intimate. I
asked him why he's using protection with me, his wife,
and he said he has to use them for staying power.
I didn't understand, so he had to break it down
for me. He's not used to the real thing because

(01:47):
he gets too excited by the real thing. This is
a problem for me because I don't want to go
through a process before we're intimate. I would prefer to
be spontaneous and wory free, he said. But I would
be disappointed if he doesn't wear them. But I'm disappointed
either way. Is there some sort of medication that can
help him? What I appear to be nagging him if

(02:10):
I keep asking him to go see a specialist for this, Well,
absolutely not. I mean, you know you're his wife. You
want certain things, and that's not nagging. You need to
ask him to find out what's going on. And he
is your husband and you do want to help him, right,
So suggesting that he go to a doctor or a
specialist to get some pills or whatever to help him,

(02:31):
there's definitely nothing wrong with that. It shows you really care.
I mean, you should be glad that this man was
honest with you and told you what was really going
on with him.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
That is rare.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
That is rare to hear the actual truth. And at
least with the truth, you have a starting point. Maybe
his problem can be fixed. At fifty three, maybe it
can be fixed if you're planning on staying married. You
guys have got to find a way to take care
of this situation because you said you do not like condoms.
You want spontaneous sex. You want that, and he already

(03:05):
told you that without him, he's no good because he
gets too excited by the real thing. I say, make
a doctor's appointment immediately and go with him and find
out what's going on.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
What's really going on?

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Steve, Well, Shirley, I'll give you credit on this right here.
You stayed away from it because obviously you know. The
first of all, let me say this to everybody listening
to the standard.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
This is not a rare thing. This is so not rare.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
It has happened to every single living human being of
the male species. He is telling you the truth. Now,
you all didn't get half sex. You wanted to wait
until after you were married. You had sex two days
after you got married. Because he got food poisoning on

(03:55):
the wed night. He wanted to wait. He bought a
girl of BBL. I don't know what that had to
do with it. He's dated younger girls. After she got
to BBL, she went on and got up man at
her age and that hurt him. And you know, because
I ain't no telling her how much he spent for
the BBL got it just like he liked it, and

(04:16):
then found out everybody else liked it too. H So
Otis went on and been out on the limb and
spent that money on Keisha. Now, Odetta, let me talk
to you y'all after y'all got married. Here's what the

(04:40):
problem is. I noticed he put on a condom, but
I ain't saying anything for the second round. He put
on a condom again. He wears one every single time
we are intimate. I asked him why he he's using
protection me his wife, and he said he has to

(05:03):
use them for staying power.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Come on, come on, Shirley says, this is rare. No
it's not. Shirley said, you need to go to a doctor.
No you don't.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I said, it's rare that he told her the truth.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's what I heard what you said.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, it was rare that he told her. You interrupted
my answer, but you mentioned my name in your caller.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Did I say anything when Shirley was talking.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Okay, but I don't know why. When I get to
have my answer, all of a sudden you got information now.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Into it.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
And because what you said, you said Rath, you said,
he told the truth.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Listen to me. You said, this is Wrath.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Get it not this and Odetta.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
It happens all the time we come back.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
I'm gonna tell you what you can do about this
problem you had. Please, I'm gonna tell her what she
can do about this problem he had, and then we
can get to stay.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
And work though.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Right but I'm telling you right now what I have
the solution.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
All right, doctor Harvey, we'll have part two of Steve's
response coming up at twenty three minutes.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
For another show. You know I had just.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Now, Doctor Harry, I.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Think damn it, Doctor Harvey is by time I think.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Got a nice ring to it makes sense to me.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
The subject isn't medical advice for those people that don't
have money.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
We'll get back to you. We'll get back to the
letter right after this. You're listening.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Morning show. All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's
strawberry letter. The subject is he's not used to the
real thing more.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Amus fifty one years old, married to a man three
years old. They got married after dating seven months. He
said she knew he was the one, she said. She
says she knew he was the one. He said she
knew she was the one. He was usually dating younger
women before bought a girl to BBL. She ended up
leaving him for a man her age because after he

(07:23):
got what he wanted, found out everybody else wanted it too,
so he wanted to wait until he had till he
got married to have sex. But a little fast thing
Miss Frisky wanted to see what it was about, so
she knew what she was getting into before she got married.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
But she waited.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
They didn't have sex right away because he got food
poisoning on his wed at night, so they had sex
two days later. They were sitting to have sex, he
put on the condom. Then in round two he put
on the condom again. She says he uses protection every
single time they have sex. She asked him why he

(08:03):
was using protection with me, his wife, and he said
he was using it for staying power. Now we better
accept that because with all of his previous life and
him using protection, it could be protecting you. Now the
reason I think you need to go to the doctor.
So y'all both can get tested tested for any STDs.

(08:26):
That's what you need to get tested for before you
go out here with this unprotected sex. Because the first
two times you have sex with a person, now, the
fact that you his wife, don't stop, no information that
he might have and only knowing the man seven months,
you need to find out why he's really using protection.
It might be to save your life. It could be,

(08:50):
but he says it is for staying power. This is
a very very real thing, stay in power. The problem
is you think he can't handle the real thing. There's
a sensitivity with the real thing. Lord, have mercy, go

(09:10):
with me, protect me as I go down this area
that I've never gone down before.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
On the radio, the real thing is real.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
The real thing is real thing, got it has all
it has something on it.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
You're there, but we'll just call it the real thing.
We gonna just keep it. We gonna keep calling it
the real thing. The real thing is too real for most.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
And the key word in the real is thing.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Ask what it is? Something about that thing? Whoa something
about that thing? A? I want that thing or that
thing or that thing. I'm not gonna use no words

(10:07):
that ain't in the title the title of his letters.
