Q.   after we had been married about five years, my husband told me he wanted me to have sex with other men and he wanted to watch. i told him i didn't want to, but he begged and begged me to do this and i finally told him i would. he brought home a ...

A.   30 May 2008: I believe this kind of 'sexual fantasy' is called a "Cuckold". Sure it is weird or 'bad' for some other people to judge, but i kind of know something (i googled it before) about this. The spouse who wants this kind of relationship get... (read in full...)

A.   28 May 2008: jess. coming out to your friends/family is 90% never easy. i guess it will really be your choice if you want to stay in the closet. and it's really hard to live a lie. I have only come out to my 2 closest friends and it felt amazing to be able ... (read in full...)

Why do people get put off more by gay men than women?

Q.   Hi. good day! I just want to hear some opinions/comments from people from different sides of the world. It's just that i observe the general community here and even the world (in general) in how they accept homosexuals. Would people agree wit...

My husband and my brother??

Q.   My husband recently admitted, after 24 years of marriage, that he's been having an affair with my gay brother for the past three years. They've just moved in together, leaving me with three kids (ages 16, 12 and 8) and all the bills to pay. I work...

A.   30 April 2008: This is a hard situation for you. And to handle it all by yourself is brave but at the same time stubborn. I believe your (ex?)husband still has an obligation and responsibility to support you and your 3 kids. He can't and should not just leave ... (read in full...)

Q.   My parents stop me or complain constantly when i do things properly. I play the organ, cycle and run alot and most recently i have taken up karate. I stay active as a way to control my agression. However my parents constantly have a go saying i am c...

A.   27 April 2008: Do you have any idea why they bug you so much about this issue? Maybe because you tend to forget to study or do some other responsibility? But, i believe that is not the case. You just have to ask them plain what do they want or dont want from ... (read in full...)

I have found God and decided against my relations with me. Will this leave me lonely?

Q.   When I was growing up, I was sure that I would turn out gay. My first crush was for a guy who lived down my street, and later, in adolescence, men featured in my fantasies. Then a girl came along who blew my mind. We were together throughout our ...

A.   25 April 2008: I see, I see. Well, the 'woman world' is different than the 'man world' but i believe it's on the same plane. It tends to be hard to understand women at times since they have different wants/needs/priorities compared to us males. But the s... (read in full...)

A.   20 March 2008: Hi again! It's gonna be quite tough not knowing if your guy also likes you or not. You say that he already told you that, "You're someone I've been looking for all my life." Though unsure if there is a deeper feel in that statement, you should tell ... (read in full...)

A.   19 March 2008: This is an amazing opportunity for you to explore your sexuality but you still should put serious thought in it. I guess what we all are concerned about is YOU. If you want to do this with your best friend and his guy you do it becuase you want to. ... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 5 months but I don't think we really have anything in common, my friends fixed us up and I talking 2 them about breaking up with him and they were really mad but I like another guy who my friends hate. ...

A.   29 February 2008: True true! It's your (love) life and they can't decide who you like or don't like. All they can do is to introduce someone they like that maybe you'd also like. Tell them that you can't force yourself into liking or loving someone that you simply ... (read in full...)

I am bi and have fallen for my best mate

Q.   Im bi and i've fallen in love with my best friend. He knows i fancy him but im pretty sure he dosent know im in love with him. I cant just go on pretending and im thinking of making a move. What do i do?...

A.   27 February 2008: i agree with mckenzie. you should first talk with him and ask him if he is honestly straight,gay,bi,or bi-curious. If it is definitely ok with him that you're bi, you should tell him (maybe in time if not now) that you have feelings for him and if ... (read in full...)

A.   26 February 2008: I believe it's the same with issues with being straight. You just kinda have to be sure that he IS gay. I mean, you can't ask him out on a date then find out he was straight and not gay. Confidence can be boosted just by knowing that there is ... (read in full...)

A.   26 February 2008: I kind of get where you're coming from. And it's just that you (and i as well) are afraid of how the world would judge you when you come out of the closet. It's because the world suggests and that of 'normality' states that Adam should go with Eve ... (read in full...)

A.   13 January 2008: Wow. I am amazed. First of all, don't feel guilty for what happened! Besides the point that he is gay, he still made love with you as someone IN love. The simple fact that you let him do it with you, and liked it at the same time means that you also ... (read in full...)

A.   19 November 2007: Well simply, love is never a one way thing. You love him dearly, but you don't feel any on his end. Tell him what you're having now can not really be called a 'relationship' since from you side you're the only one doing for the other. I guess it... (read in full...)

A.   13 November 2007: I guess i can relate since i am sensitive and all as well. I know trusting is a really really big issue. But love is all about taking risks and hoping that by the end of the day you still love her/him in the morning. You just have to discuss ... (read in full...)

A.   13 November 2007: That's a tight situation. You say he has already loved you before, does that mean you knew or he just said it recently when he was already over you? If you knew, then the mistake was on your part since you did not entertain this feeling from him. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Can you actually be gay (and when i say gay i'm not including bi-sexual) and yet fancy or love someone of the opposite sex?...

A.   10 November 2007: I believe you cannot really 'love' someone of the opposite sex without being on any bisexual level, even on a small and partial scale. If love, you mean an intimate relationship where you like that girl, and not like a 'friendly' love... then NO. If ... (read in full...)

Are there any Bi guys out there that can tell me what's going on here?

Q.   hi all! i'm in a bit of a situation. I am a straight woman and have recently gotten even closer to my gay best friend. We hang out all the time, can talk about everything and anything, and when i sleep at his house (sometimes 3-4 times a week) we ...

A.   24 October 2007: hi person. I am bi. i'd like to share something on being bi. Bisexuality does not necessarily mean liking both sides equally. sometimes preference to men is more dominant than liking women (such is my case). But some mainly like women but also... (read in full...)
