Should my ex-boyfriend and I remain friends?

A.   18 May 2012: lol I have no problem with it being hardcore, it's rather that it is usually just a bit dull or cheesy. It's more laughable than sexy to me :) I would prefer it if it was darker and more hardcore/erotic, but its usually 1)suck cock, 2)fuck in a ... (read in full...)

A.   15 May 2012: If you are having these thoughts, then it is essentially not fair to be with your current girlfriend. If you do not believe that you will ever get over your ex wife and love your girlfriend more than her, then you are wasting your gf's time. Unless ... (read in full...)

My girlfriend has no interest in sex whatsoever, is it wrong to consider breaking up with her?

Q.   We've been together for 3 years, but this isn't the sort of thing where she gradually became less and less interested in sex... She's just always been pretty non-sexual, at least with me, anyway. We broke up for awhile about a year ago, and she had ...

A.   8 May 2012: I think its pheramones. I've noticed I get more male interest just before or start of my period. It's odd and annoying. Perhaps it like when female dogs are "in heat" and the male dogs sense this through smell. It's like we give off a subconscious ... (read in full...)
