Dylan Alcott gushes about sexologist girlfriend Chantelle Otten

Australian wheelchair tennis icon Dylan Alcott says every man should envy him, bragging about being loved up with a sex expert.

Dylan Alcott is all loved up.

Tennis might be on hold because of coronavirus but Dylan Alcott still considers himself a very lucky man, gushing about his relationship with a sexologist.

Speaking to fellow wheelchair athlete Kurt Fearnley on ABC program One Plus One, Alcott — a six-time Australian Open champion — opened up about his love for Chantelle Otten and why every man should be jealous of him.

The pair celebrated their one-year anniversary during lockdown after making their romance public last year and are still going strong.

Otten describes herself on her website as a “psycho-sexologist who is passionate about empowering people to feel great about their sexual health, self-esteem, communication and education”.

And Alcott is happy to brag about his girlfriend’s profession.

“I mean, look at me — I’ve, out of nowhere, got the best-looking, amazingly talented girlfriend who is a doctor of sex — that’s her job,” he told Fearnley.

“I mean, am I not the envy of every human in the world?”

The happy couple are loving life.

Alcott only has good things to say about dating a sexologist.

As with so many relationships these days, an Instagram connection gave Alcott and Otten the kickstart they needed to realise they were perfect for each other.

“She talks about sex and disability and I talked about that in the book (Able),” Alcott said. “She called it breadcrumbing, she put up a little thing on her Instagram saying, ‘Dylan Alcott talks about sex and disability!’

“I replied and said, ‘Where did you go?’

“She was overseas and we didn’t see each other for a while but as soon as we caught up, I’m not going to lie, I fell in laugh with her the moment I saw her and she says the same thing.”

The dating world can be tough to navigate as a disabled person, but mainly it’s other people’s perceptions that require clearing up, as Alcott explained.

“I was in Thailand with my first girlfriend, Chelsea, and this guy was hitting on her, and he tried to kiss her,” he said.

“And he was like, ‘Oh, I thought that was just your sister or your carer’. Like, how could a guy in a wheelchair have a good-looking, able-bodied girlfriend?”

Otten was on hand for Alcott’s Australian Open triumph in January and also watched him win his maiden Wimbledon crown last year.

The tennis star gets asked plenty of questions about how sex works when you live your life in a wheelchair, and while Otten was nervous before the couple got intimate for the first time, she’s enjoying the best sex of her life with the 10-time grand slam champion.

Speaking to Angus O’Loughlin on the ListenABLE podcast earlier this year, Otten said: “I’ve never felt butterflies like that before. Wow, I was so nervous (before the first time), but so excited at the same time to see how it would work, what was going to be different.

“You (Alcott), luckily, have a really erotic mind like my own, so we’ve been able to work on that really well together.

“This is the healthiest and most pleasurable sex that I’ve ever had, because it is just so expansive, and it is so erotic, and it is so much beyond the mainstream view of what sexuality is supposed to be.”
