Q.   So me and my girlfriend are fairly kinky and I know she likes BDSM (since a friend took her to an event last year) so I asked her if she'd like to go to a rope workshop in a couple of weeks.. This tipped over a few more dominoes than expected, s...

A.   10 February 2011: I can tell just by the way you are talking that if you have as much as one threesome your relationship will be over because you arent the type of person to be okay with sharing your lady. I don't blame you. Most people couldn't handle that. You just ... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2011: Honestly nobody should want to just "get out there" and start sleeping with random people, especially someone your age. You feel left out because you arent like the rest of those girls? You should be proud that you ARE NOT like them!! Dont share ... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2011: Well, it sounds to me like she is aggitated with you for some reason and it's probably not because of your "not so great" performance a year ago. It just seems like she is looking for any reason at all to snap on you. What kinds of things are you ... (read in full...)
