Contains E rated material from the 21 minute mark forward.
Summary of the E section: they are mutually supportive and compatible lovers but Stede will not allow kissing on the lips, although kissing elsewhere is good. Ed finds validation and worth in the interaction that he had not experienced in past interactions.  Ed assumes that he is expected to leave after sex, because the is how things have been in his past and Stede reassures him that he should stay. They sleep entwined.

November 28

Spent the morning moping, as is my right. Ordered lunch in.

Mid-afternoon received text from Ed! Mopes immediately gone.

When the Badmintons set Stede up on a blind date for a prank, they did him a bigger favor than they could possibly have known.

[podfic] Rinse And Repeat Ch 1

https://archiveofourown.org/works/58245958

NARRATOR: After two decades of marriage to a woman, forty eight year old Stede Bonnet is now out of the closet and ready to find love with the man of his dreams.

STEDE: Hello! I think what I’m really looking for is someone who will love me for who I am and not force me to hide parts of myself away. I’ve spent my entire life trying to conform to being someone I’m not. I don’t want to apologise for being ‘weird’ or ‘eccentric’ anymore. This is who I am and I hope I can find a man who embraces everything that makes me, me.

Stede is convinced to go on the reality dating show First Dates. He's sceptical, but little does he know he's about to meet the love of his life.
