‘I was working at the Sunset Strip Theatre in Soho, showing my tit* and bits for a fiver a time, when a p*rnographer popped by, scouting for new models,’ Melissa tells Metro.co.uk.
Although the average Brit will engage in sexual intercourse at least once a week, for many there is a particular interaction that remains etched in their minds for a lifetime.
It needn’t be super saucy – sometimes the best sex of our lives is based on connection over kink.
But for these three women, their most memorable sexual escapades are the ones where they opened themselves up to their innermost desires and fantasies.
‘A satisfying spank’
For 47-year-old stripper-turned-dominatrix Melissa Todd, the most tantalising experience she has had was when she was in her early twenties.
‘The p*rnographer asked if I’d like to pose for his spanking magazine,’ she explains.
‘”Sure!” I said. “Whatever! When do you want me?”
‘Ihave never given life-changing decisions a great deal of thought and even now throw caution to the wind. Money? Attention? Why not!
‘I was 21, and had already spent two happy years stripping. So, when John asked me to take my pants down and bend over, I was delighted to oblige. I’d only got my pants back on five minutes earlier.
‘“Smashing”, he said, distractedly. He was 50 or so, undoubtedly overjoyed to have a pretty young girl half-naked before him – joy he concealed with a detached, professional air.
‘“Yes, I’m certain we could use you for photos – videos, too, if you can take a spanking. Have you been spanked before?”
‘I hadn’t. I’d only had one boyfriend, who’d been a little too shy to try anything of the sort.
‘“Well, I’d better spank you now. Just to make sure you can take it, you understand,” John added.
‘“Oh! OK then. Good idea!” I said,without a care in the world.’
‘That spanking transformed me. He cupped his hand and brought it down gently on my quivering, cool, virginal bottom, gradually increasing the intensity as I arched my back, desperate for more.
‘He obliged, going harder and harder, until he explained, with a satisfied chortle, that I was starting to hurt his hand and it was strap time. A lovely old leather thing, delivering a satisfying thud to my already tender, warm buttocks.
‘My giddy, endorphin-flooded brain suddenly recalled I had to be back on stage.But I wanted more. I’ve never stopped wanting more…’
Melissa does stress, though, that this experience was completely consensual – and that her granting permission was part of the ‘magic charm in this scenario.’
‘Consent turns what might have been an unendurable, traumatic experience into a delightful, life-affirming encounter,’ she says.
She also explains: ‘It’s easier now to discover which photographers you should trust – websites like Purpleport and Adultfolio allow models and photographers to leave reviews of one another so you can instantly learn who’s safe and trustworthy, who’s a creepy timewaster.
‘A good photographer will encourage new models to bring a chaperone should they choose.’
‘An org*smic threesome’
Following her divorce, 63-year-old podcaster Suzanne Noble decided to explore ‘every sexual fantasy’ she had ever had.
‘I was lucky enough to find a willing partner. He had been a swinger from back in the days when couples used to post ads seeking single men in the back pages of Loot newspaper.
‘I met him through a hook-up website, but his past meant he had an enviable collection of well-endowed single men he would recruit for group sex and other activities.
‘On one occasion I asked him to find another guy so I could fulfil a threesome fantasy I had – which was to have sex with two men at the same time, with large members.
‘With the same ease as ordering a takeaway on Deliveroo, my partner enlisted a handsome guy to turn up, and after a brief time socialising, we went upstairs to my bedroom.
‘My partner was dominant and very much took the lead, which I discovered to be a major turn-on. Ultimately, I loved being the centre of attention and the pleasure that came from being stimulated in multiple areas.
‘The three of us climaxed simultaneously – the first and only time that has ever happened. For two years after, I only had threesomes because I liked it so much.
‘I look back on those years as some of the best sex I’ve ever had,’ she muses.
‘Hot virtual voyeurism’
Three years ago, founder of dating app Sizzl, 44-year-old Gillian Myhill, and her partner at the time had been chatting to a ‘lovely girl’ for a couple of weeks.
‘We were in a polyamorous relationship and had started the search for a new partner.
‘Things progressed from chat to swapping pictures. We spoke on the phone a few times and there was a very obvious chemistry between us all.
‘She lived far away, so I suggested that we arrange a video date. I’ve never really spent a lot of time exploring my voyeuristic side and wasn’t even sure I’d like it. But we spoke about it a bit and I decided to give it a try.
‘I set the scene, did my hair and makeup, dug deep into my knicker draw and pulled out a sexy set of Agent Provocateur, turned down the lights and had a stiff drink. The anticipation was spectacular.
‘We were all nervous, slightly fumbling on our words, but after a couple of drinks we decided to play a little game – we took turns to remove a piece of clothing, or do something naughty.
‘Things quickly progressed and soon enough we were all naked andenjoying the sights and sounds of each other’s pleasure.
