This is how we do it: ‘I was twice her age, married and her boss. I questioned whether I was a bad person'
We don't call ourselves a couple. We value our own and each other's freedom Ava and I grew close when I was her boss, and still with my ex-wife. I'm twice her age, and worried how that would appear. What if people confused us for father and daughter? I questioned whether I was a bad person. My daughter, who is four years younger than Ava, was disgusted at first, calling me a pervert, and my ex-wife was also understandably furious. They felt as though they had never truly known me. I feared I may have severed those relationships for ever, but I knew that, with Ava, I had the chance to be incredibly happy. It was months before we had sex. The first time we were intimate, we kept our clothes on. It was an intense experience. I remember her scent and how soft her skin was. I hadn't been able to get an erection for a few years, which led to the death of my sex life with my wife, and I assumed that was it for me. With Ava, I've rediscovered pleasure. Not only sexually, but also the pleasure of being together. We both believe in female empowerment … and Ava likes to be spanked, which excites me In sex, we have dominant-submissive roles. We both believe in female empowerment and equality, and we talk about that conflict, but the two can coexist. Ava likes to be spanked, which excites me. I also find her freedom a turn-on, so sometimes we roleplay scenarios where she's been unfaithful and I'm punishing her. I like the idea of her being with other people, but it makes me jealous. We don't call ourselves a couple. We value our own and each other's freedom, and don't want a conventional future where we fall victim to the mundanity of daily routine. Although we work together, we have decided we will never live together. I've found that cohabiting causes the desire to know everything about someone to fall away, and I always want to feel a deep interest in Ava. To me, intimacy is the time we afford each other. I feel most connected to Ava at the end of the day when I massage her feet and we talk about things that interest us. Sometimes I wake up during the night and we're holding hands, so I start the day feeling loved, like I've been replenished overnight. We want to explore other ways to have sex and not stay as the lovers that we are now There's tension between what I enjoy sexually and my feminist values. I've always taken on the submissive role, but recently I've been questioning how much of this is my desire and how much has been prescribed by the patriarchy. I ask myself: do I actually like this, or have I been taught to like it? Often, I can't tell the difference. Why do I want to be submissive? For example, Benji used to grab my hair during sex, but after questioning it, I've asked him to stop. I listen to feminist podcasts and read feminist literature, and we communicate a lot about it. We want to challenge, test, learn and develop our relationship in a way that feels progressive. We want to explore other ways to have sex and not stay as the lovers that we are now. We have sex in the office, and use our workspace as part of the fantasy At the start, I wasn't attracted to Benji – there were no romantic or sexual feelings, but I felt this strong pull towards him that I couldn't understand. I cared about him and his opinion. He was an important person in my professional and personal life. We had lots of things in common. Then, when he told me his feelings, that the smell of my perfume made him crazy, it opened up another dimension. Our relationship developed. The first time Benji stayed at my place, we didn't sleep at all. We stayed up all night caressing each other through our clothes and looking up at the full moon. It was special. And it was still exciting teasing and building the sexual tension between us with no penetration or orgasm. Benji and I now run a business together, where we're the only employees, and sometimes we roleplay that he's the boss and I'm his secretary. We find that dynamic exciting. We have sex in the office, and use our workspace as part of the fantasy. Since we've been together, I feel free to be more myself, to wear the clothes I want, to say what I want. He speaks to my values of freedom and happiness.

Compassionate teen killed in after-prom crash on Cape Cod hoped to become a nurse
An 18-year-old is being remembered for her compassion and kindness.

She died in the rollover car crash. 'Ava was generous, compassionate and kind,' her obituary read. 'Inclusive of all those around her. She made everyone laugh with her great sense of humor and quick-witted comebacks. Her smile was radiant and she could light up a room.' She was a senior at Falmouth High School. She was planning to attend Umass Dartmouth this fall and was enrolled in the nursing program. She volunteered for Falmouth Road Race and the Ryan Hendricks I Got You foundation. She also loved the beach, watching sunsets with friends, dancing and attending concerts. A GoFundMe for Lodico's family has raised more than $30,000 as of Saturday.

Fundraisers club together to remember Stirling author and sports fan
Bridge of Allan Sports Club hosted a remembrance fundraiser event in honour of dedicated member Bert Mitchell, who sadly died of a stroke last April. His wife Arlene and daughter Ava put on a day to celebrate their beloved Bert and to ensure his legacy lives on at his club. The day boasted everything Mitchell enjoyed: sport, food and socialising. Ava said: 'With excellent cuisine thanks to the Secret Chef, everyone was kept happy with the vast selection of food options. 'A thanks needs to go to Louise from Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland who said a couple of words on the day on the impact of strokes and how many people in the UK are affected. 'Approximately 100,000 people have a stroke each year in the UK. 'Stats like that put into perspective how important it is to raise money for causes like CHSS, to help ensure no-one is alone when going through a stroke.' The first exhibition of the afternoon was tennis, featuring Jonny O' Mara [Andy Murray's coach for his last year on court] and some of Stirling University's best players: Scott MacAulay, Matthew Earnshaw and Robert Cawley. Ava added: 'The match was a smashing success with people oohing and aahing at every shot. 'Everyone loved the raffle and it came to a point where tickets had to be created as they ran out. 'A huge thank you has to go to all the companies and brands who donated to us. 'These include: Whyler Photography, Adam Brown Tennis Academy, Paper Kisses, Malmaison, Hotel Du Vin, Game4Padel, Head Squash, Arran Sense of Scotland, Stirling Gin, Birds and the Bees and Graham's Dairy's, among others. 'The day was non-stop with a squash exhibition match starting at 5pm featuring John Meehan and Andrew Glen who are both Senior International players. 'This was a gripping match with both players dripping of sweat and it went to a fourth set. 'The level was high and points were long, with viewers turning their heads at each stroke. 'They certainly put on a good show.' The day fittingly concluded at the squash courts with the unveiling of a memorial plaque in honour of Bert Mitchell. It has been positioned between court 3 and 4. Court four is memorable for being 'Bert's court' - the one he loved to play on and booked regularly. Ava said: 'It felt right to conclude the day where my dad spent much of his time training on court. ' It was great to see so many people who knew my dad, supporting us on the day. 'I want to thank the local community for their help in advertising our event. 'A special thanks needs to go to Forrester Pyke, the local organist at Bridge of Allan Parish Church who put posters up in the church. 'It was great to have the support from so many.' Arlene and Ava have so far raised nearly £1500 on Justgiving - with further funds raised on the day seeing the total so far sitting at around £3500. The pair are hoping with further advertisement and encouragement they could get to £5000. Arlene said: 'It was a great day and everyone was so generous - but we are still keen to keep pushing. 'We want to reach £5000 for the charity. 'Any donations would mean a lot to us. 'Even £10 could make a difference to someone struggling with a stroke just now. 'Please help us reach our target to a well deserving cause which is close to many of our hearts.'

Deborah Vance Drops the Mic: "Hacks" Season 4, Episode 9 comes with twist
Deborah's Defining Stand Ava's Story Comes Full Circle Supporting Cast and Subplots Live Events What's Ahead for "Hacks"? (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel "Hacks" never hesitated to play with expectations, but Season 4, Episode 9, "A Slippery Slope," breaks Max's Emmy-winning comedy to its most daring turning points ever. In a shocking move that is as funny as it is poignant, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) gives up her hard-earned late-night talk show- her "white whale" -to support her creative partner Ava (Hannah Einbinder), causing shockwaves in the world of the show and its show's drama heats up when late night leader Deborah is lobbied by network exec Bob Lipka (Tony Goldwyn) to book a hit franchise star with a scandalous cloud of accusations surrounding them. Deborah's effort to lighten the controversy by a few safe jokes is censored by the network, frustrating both her and Ava. When Ava, in a moment of conscience, leaks the network's cover-up to a news producer, the fallout is immediate: Bob demands Deborah fire Ava or lose her the first time, Deborah prioritizes loyalty over legacy. In a live monologue, she reveals the network's censorship and declares her departure, not wanting to betray Ava or her own values. As co-creator Paul W. Downs put it, "She proves not just to Ava, but to herself, what's most important". Jean Smart also weighed in, declaring the moment a "huge leap" for her path in this episode parallels her from the first episode, where she employed honesty to confront powerful industry leaders. The possibility of being terminated by Deborah- her friend and mentor -closes their relationship in a circle, but this time, Deborah opts for Ava over ambition. Critics have called out the episode for returning to the essence of the show: the offstage relationship between Deborah and Ava, and their readiness to risk everything for one Jimmy (Paul W. Downs) and Kayla (Megan Stalter) have their own drama, with Jimmy formally naming their agency "Schaeffer and LuSaque"-a touch that honors their new partnership and the show's signature format of acerbic, character-based humor. Smart and Einbinder, in particular, are a central attraction, with actors such as Dan Bucatinsky bringing attention to real-life friendships off-set that contribute to the narrative's emotional series concludes with Deborah contractually forbidden from performing for 18 months, which leaves her and Ava at a turning point. A finale teaser suggests the pair may embark on a long-overdue vacation together, indicative of a new beginning for the show's core relationship. As Hannah Einbinder pointed out, shooting these scenes was "very emotional," highlighting the implications for both characters and viewers."Hacks" keeps retooling, combining scathing industry satire with affectionate storytelling. With the Season 4 series finale airing May 29 and still no Season 5 renewal announced, fans are left waiting eagerly to see what comes next for Deborah, Ava, and the world they've created—on stage and off.
