"Is it true -- now I think we've seen this, especially in the '70s... women trying to sleep with the tennis pro. Is this a real thing?" host Jimmy Kimmel asked The Bachelor star.
"Yes," Joey confirmed.

"I have not done that, but what I usually say is that when it starts out, you teach the kids and then their mom watches a lesson and is like, 'Oh, I want a lesson!' And it takes about a week before the husband shows up and checks in, like, 'Who is this guy?' That's usually how it goes."
Joey claimed that once these husbands meet him and learn it's "not [his] intention" to sleep with anybody, the awkwardness or tension "goes away."
Jimmy, however, asked, "How do you convince them that that's not your intention?"
"I don't know. I just try to be me. That's all I can do," Joey replied.
"So you never made love to any of your tennis students?" Jimmy bluntly asked.

"No I have not!" Joey stressed, overly enunciating each word. "Make that known -- no!"
Jimmy asked Joey if that's against the rules, and Joey quickly responded, "It's against my rules!"
"Tennis is also teaching them that forehand," Jimmy said, suggesting the instructor/student interactions may be flirtatious. "You get behind them, and then all of a sudden, sparks start to fly."
Joey insisted, "Let's just say I was warned by multiple tennis pros that that's just a big no, no. and you don't want to [do that]."
"People really don't do this? Can you still charge them if you're sleeping with them?" Jimmy pushed.

"I wouldn't know, Jimmy!" Joey playfully yelled with a smile on his face.
"But your friends -- who warned you -- do they know?" Jimmy questioned.
"I didn't ask those questions. I just listened to the important part, which is, 'Don't sleep with them,'" Joey concluded.

"There's just this honest chemistry and connection that we have," Joey shared of Kelsey A. "There is something about Kelsey that is very striking to me. Little Joey, you just met a very pretty girl!"
