Tracey Jane Cox (born 1 November 1961) is an English non-fiction author and columnist who specializes in books on dating, sex and relationships. Cox appeared as a relationship expert on Jo Whiley's show on BBC Radio 1. Her television career has included co-presenting programmes like ''Would Like To Meet'' on BBC2 and ''The Sex Inspectors'' for Channel 4 in Britain. She is also a columnist for newspapers and magazines, currently writing weekly for Closer magazine in Britain and the Mail Online. Cox was born in Britain but spent many years in Australia where she edited ''Cosmopolitan'' magazine and had her own radio show. Although not much information is known about Cox herself, a great deal can be learnt about her from her books as they contain snippets from her own personal experiences. ''Hot Relationships'' was written after her divorce. ==Personal life== She lived in Britain until she was 10 when her father moved the family to escape a 10-year affair. Her father has since left her mother to be with his mistress. Cox claims her career choice is thanks to her older sister, who was a family-planning nurse. Cox says she "grew up surrounded by condoms". At 15 she was obsessed with losing her virginity. She had decided it had to happen when she turned 16. So on the eve of her birthday, she made her boyfriend at the time wait until the clock struck 12. She says she knew all about the engineering of sex but not about the logistics – and had no idea that people actually moved during it. She hated it and dumped the boyfriend and did not have sex again until she was 19. She studied journalism and psychology at Queensland University and first "learned the ropes" about journalism at the Nundah Express, then became Associate Editor of Australian ''Cosmo''. Cox was diagnosed with cancer of the cervix at the age of 30. The surgery was successful but it left her cervix so damaged that doctors said she would probably never have a baby. She was married at the age of 30 to a younger, Canadian professional sportsman. They lived happily together for four years but something changed when they got married. She left three years into the marriage. She says, "It was heart-breaking but it was the right thing to do." She was pregnant in 2004 and was very surprised because she thought it was impossible because of the cancer treatment, but had a miscarriage. She is currently living in Notting Hill, London, writes books and has her own product range, distributed by Lovehoney.co.uk. She has been happily living with her partner, Miles Bellerby, for nearly three years (they met in 2012). His daughter Sofia Bellerby lives with them part-time. Cox described Sofia in a magazine article as 'the daughter she wished she'd had', proclaiming her 'just perfect in every way'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tracey Cox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
