Hi there. This is sexual folklorist Dixie Delator. And I'm really excited to say this next part. This is episode 50 of the Body Storytelling Podcast.
Creature Hole (Band Member)
50.
Dixie Delator
We've made 50 of these things. I'm so excited to tell you that we hit this landmark number and it's a really good episode. To mark the occasion, let's talk about our storyteller. For this episode, she's written a memoir on plunging into online dating just as she was entering menopause. And she's hoping to sell that memoir so that she can travel all over the country telling people how great middle aged sex can be. Her first career was as a physician's assistant where she worked for nearly 20 years. She was well paid. Now she's a poor writer, she makes no money at it and she's ecstatically happy. She's a relationship editor of the Erotic Review magazine and writes a bi monthly column on love and sex called Savvy Love. And this was her first time getting on stage to tell a story. She told this at Body Storytelling in Seattle. And this storyteller is Karen Jo.
Karen Jo
You're right, you cannot see anything. I cannot see you guys. And I have a drink up here because I have a bit of cough. I might just start coughing. So that's why I have this. Anyway, so I became single not that long ago after a 23 year marriage. And I just so happened to be living in London with my ex and my son. And around that same time, I was going through menopause and I didn't have the normal symptoms. I did not have night sweats, I didn't have hot flashes. I was losing my mind. But one of the upsides of Going through menopause is that you feel bolder, you feel less like you care about what people think and you just want to kind of take risks. And I, When I moved to England, I decided not to practice medicine anymore because I was in menopause and I didn't want to take care of other people's problems. You know, I take care of my son, I took care of myself, but everyone else could just go to hell. So I got on Tinder and OkCupid, and my God, you know, when you're in a dating pool of 10 million people, that is a bonanza. That is a real bonanza. And it was feeling good. You know, I did. Hadn't felt desired for a long time. So, you know, every time I swiped right and it was like, woo hoo hoo, you know, someone wants me. Finally. So shortly after I started doing this, I met a man named George. Now, I was looking for something a little different. I didn't want to do vanilla anymore. So I was kind of picking these guys out based on their profiles. Now, George was a really eloquent writer, and I'm such a sucker for that, of course. But when he walked through the door, he was about 6 foot 3. He had these isosceles triangle sideburns. He looked like Piers Bronson, except with. He was much more swarthy. And, you know, unlike most of the metrosexuals in London, George wore car hearts. And so this Northwest girl was like, ooh, yeah. So we started talking at the bar and we were immediately smitten with each other. And George asked. Asked me, so what are you interested in? And I said, well, I'm not really sure. I'm just a suburban mom. So George takes my wrist in each of his hands and he slowly pins them behind my back. And he leans down from his large height and he gently bites me on the neck. And that was the most electrifying thing anybody had ever done to me up to that point. So when he looked at me and I could breathe again, I said, that's a good start. So George and I became lovers, and it was wonderful. He taught me all sorts of new things in the bedroom. And one day I got a call from him. He says, karen, I have this friend, his name is Rob, and he has these Penthouse parties. Would you like to go? And I'm thinking, George. I say, george, is this a sex party? And he said, why, yes, it is. I said, since I was in menopause, yes. My first sex party. All right. So he was excited. And so the night of the party. It's cold and it's March, and it's drizzly. And we took a cab from his house on the south side of the river in Brixton, which is very gritty place. And we take the cab over to the north side of the river, to the Hilton Hotel at Westminster. And as we're going up in the elevator to the 11th floor, I'm clutching my reusable Seattle nylon bag with two bottles of Prosecco in it. And I'm starting to get really nervous. And the thing that's going through my head is, you know that scene in Eyes Wide Shut? You know it. You know, like, everybody's so fucking beautiful. Like, all the call girls have these gorgeous bodies, and everyone looks like Tom Cruise. And I'm thinking, oh, shit. I'm gonna be sitting in the corner with my hand over my dimpled ass, just watching. So we knock on the door, and as soon as the door opened, I knew it was gonna be nothing because Rob, the host, was this guy. He was about 5 foot 4, just a little sprite of a guy. Dark curly hair. He looked like this Jewish Dudley Moore. And all he had on was a black latex Speedo. And he throws open his arms and he welcomes us. And he takes our jackets and says, go, introduce yourselves. So we walk into this penthouse. It's not that big. It's just like a studio apartment. It's got a queen bed on one side, and on the opposite end of the room is the king bed. And in between, there's a couple couches and there's some tables and one table there's drinks and finger food. And on the other table there's vibrators and dildos and lube and switches and riding crops. And everybody's still clothed. So we start mingling, and I start talking to these three women. Now, one of them is also an American. She's got very spiky hair. It's all different colors. She's got tattoos everywhere. And I'm kind of feeling intimidated and suburban. And the other two women were also. They were very, very nice. They were all nice. We just started talking about our kids.
Dixie Delator
And.
Karen Jo
And one of the women was pregnant. I mean, she was bodaciously pregnant, and she was gorgeous. And I thought, oh, how nice is that? I remember being so horny when I was pregnant and what a nice thing it would have been to go to a sex party. But while we're talking, Rob, the host, comes in and interrupts, and he says, can I have some time with you, darling? Because I was the new girl. I was the only new person there. So I said, sure. And he takes me over to the king sized bed and he takes off my dress and he takes off my underwear and he goes to town between my legs. Now, you know who doesn't love oral sex, right? But Rob was so enthusiastic, you know, he was like this little black lab puppy looking for its lost chew toy in my vagina. And then so after, you know, 30 seconds of that, then he puts on his condom and starts fucking me. And you know, after a few minutes, he has his first orgasm. So he was done. And I got up and kissed him on the cheek and went and got my first glass of wine. And I started talking with the women again, thank God, but they start looking at each other like they've got a conspiracy going. And I get taken over to a couch by them and laid down. And one of them starts licking me, which was much, much nicer, much more slow. And another starts fondly my breasts. And wouldn't you know, but the pregnant woman straddled my feet face now. So I look up and there is this unwaxed earth mama snatch coming down onto my face. Now, I don't know about you, but when I sit on someone's face, I make sure they can breathe. But she couldn't see my face because her tummy was like. And on top of that, something just wasn't right. You know, I was never in the habit of tasting my patients when I gave them vaginal exams. I couldn't tell if this was bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection, but, you know, it just wasn't right. So I started coughing and spluttering and she quickly got off my face and there were snickers all around. And I kind of looked up and I looked over at George and I said. And he looked at me like, oh, just buck up, kiddo. It can only get better. So I went and had another glass of Prosecco. So I started engaging with this other couple. And I really love to give blowjobs. So I thought, okay, I can do this, right? So I go down on this guy and I am sucking him and he's not getting aroused. And so I'm starting to fondle his balls and he's not getting aroused. And I'm like. I'm like, don't take this personally. Don't take this personally. And just kept going and kept going and it wasn't happening. I was starting to take it personally. And finally I just gave up. And he just kind of laughed and I Kissed. And that was it. So I was feeling a little demoralized by this point. You know, I was not really performing very well at the sex party. So George and I. George played with me and made me feel a little bit better. And we're sitting there, and things are kind of winding down, and Rob, the host, is standing in the front of the room, and his girlfriend Pen, is kneeling in front of him, giving him a hand job. And I see an opportunity, so I go over to these two. No, no. Oh, wait, let me say. Say something about Pen. So she's this petite woman, so she's perfect for Rob. She's petite, she's really toned, long dark hair. She's got this gorgeous tattoo across her chest of a bird. And I go over to the two of them and I smear my middle finger with lube. And I lean down next to Rob and look up at him, and he looks down at me and he's like, uh huh. I know what you're gonna do. And so I stick my finger into Rob's ass. Now, this is really familiar territory for me. Not because of what George has taught me over the last few months, but because as a medical provider, I once ran a steel mill clinic, and I gave prostate exams to 300 steel workers every year for their annuals. So I knew a man's prostate, up, down, and all around. So I'm working Rob's prostate, and Penn is working his cock, and he is getting excited, and I do it a little harder. She does it a little harder, and he starts moaning and his ey roll back, and his head goes back and he starts shaking, and he starts hanging on to both of us because he can barely stand. And from the depths of this little man came this enormous, growling, shouting orgasm. And all over Penn's bird, he blew his load and we got a standing ovation. So I went home pretty happy, and George and I took showers, and we cuddled under the comforter and we giggled together. And the thing I realized is that, you know, I was almost 50 years old, and I was suddenly feeling bold, almost fearless. And I realized that, you know, menopause is not the end of anything. It was the start of.

She was so thankful for the Body Storytelling Podcast. She's a supporter of us on Patreon and she wanted me to know what she loves about the podcast format and the stories that she listens to as she sits and crafts Christmas gifts for this year. I love that visual, knowing what you're doing while you're listening to this podcast. So I'm going to ask you to do what she did. I'm going to ask you to support the Body Storytelling Patreon.

And recently they came to our larger San Francisco show, came all the way down on tour to perform it on stage at Bawdy in San Francisco. I really like it.

Podcast: Bawdy Storytelling
Host: Dixie De La Tour
Episode Number: 50
Air Date: November 29, 2018
Storyteller: Karin Jones
This landmark 50th episode of Bawdy Storytelling features Karin Jones, a former physician’s assistant turned writer, sharing her bold, transformational journey into midlife sexuality and sexual adventure. As the guest storyteller, Karin recounts her first foray into the world of sex parties after a long marriage and during menopause, culminating in a memorable "Penthouse Prostate Party." The episode explores themes of sexual self-discovery, body acceptance, middle-aged desire, and liberation from social expectations—told with characteristic honesty, vulnerability, and humor.
On Menopausal Boldness:
“You feel bolder, you feel less like you care about what people think and you just want to kind of take risks.” (03:26, Karin)
On Sex Party Anxiety:
“I’m gonna be sitting in the corner with my hand over my dimpled ass, just watching.” (06:43, Karin)
On Rob’s Enthusiasm:
“He was like this little black lab puppy looking for its lost chew toy in my vagina.” (12:19, Karin)
On Medical Knowledge in Play:
“I was never in the habit of tasting my patients when I gave them vaginal exams.” (13:35, Karin)
On Redemption and Prostate Milking:
“From the depths of this little man came this enormous, growling, shouting orgasm. And all over Pen’s bird, he blew his load, and we got a standing ovation.” (16:27, Karin)
On Self-Discovery:
“I was almost 50 years old, and I was suddenly feeling bold, almost fearless. And I realized that, you know, menopause is not the end of anything. It was the start of...” (16:54, Karin)
The storytelling is open, witty, and unabashedly frank—balancing honest self-reflection with comedic timing and sex-positive celebration. Karin’s medical background leads to both practical insight and hilarious commentary. The supportive Bawdy Storytelling crowd underscores the communal, empowering nature of these experiences.
Karin’s journey is a frank, funny, and empowering narrative about rediscovering sexuality and joy at midlife. Her adventures at the penthouse party—and particularly her triumphant moment as the “prostate whisperer”—underscore the potential for pleasure, growth, and boldness at any age.
Memorable Message:
Menopause and middle age can be the start of new sexual adventures. Boldness, laughter, and connection are ageless—and sometimes, expert medical skills really do come in handy at a sex party.
