A.   11 November 2010: Wax it yourself. You can buy really good wax strips from the supermarket. I heartily recommend Veet. Then you get a really nice smooth finish which lasts for a long time. Remember to exfoliate and moisturise afterwards though. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have ugly breasts. They're small for my body (I have huge hips) and they have big areolas. I also don't like their shape much, it's a very common shape but it's not round and nice. If they were rounder and had small areolas I wouldn't mind the ...

A.   10 November 2010: I always think that womens' preoccupation with breast size is analogous to the male obsession with penis size. I also think that the same answer applies. If you are attracted to a man, is the first/only/overriding factor that you take into acc... (read in full...)

A.   5 November 2010: Your bf sounds extremely selfish. I think it is natural for him to fall asleep, which is why he needs to make an effort in pleasuring you before he climaxes. You need to point out to him how selfish he is being. If I were in your shoes I would te... (read in full...)
