Q.   Okay, a very tricky question here. About a year ago my 24 years old my daughter suddenly developed diabetes type 1 - yes, type 1 where you have to take insulin - and ever since then she has to take insulin shots 4 times a day. We have no history ...

A.   29 October 2012: I have found that people are very gracious and accommodating when it comes to other people's illnesses/diseases/disabilities. It's just insulin and diabetes is fairly common; most people know what it is and will not be disgusted or offended to see ... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2012: Honeypie is right. He definitely should have given you a heads up though I wonder why he felt the need to lie to you about this to begin with. Do you usually stop him from seeing female friends or get easily jealous? Just give him a little tal... (read in full...)

A.   31 October 2011: I strongly suggest you tell him because it's his child too, and you are in a long-term relationship which means that if you went through with the abortion behind his back, you would have to keep this hidden from him for the rest of your life and ... (read in full...)

A.   12 October 2011: I think you should talk to her and just try to get her to explain why sad songs bother her so much. I mean, most people sing songs just because they like the lyrics or the tune and not necessarily because they are in that mood at the time. Maybe... (read in full...)

Was he doing it to really hurt himself? Do people do that? I know why most men do that and its not this reason, but instead for sexual pleasure.

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now. As far as many things go, our life together has been great. Since I met him, I just knew he was my soul mate and things were just so perfect with him. I cannot begin to tell you how great ...

A.   7 July 2011: Yes, honestly, I would believe that he was doing it to hurt himself as opposed to doing it for sexual pleasure. I have a friend who is bi-polar, depression and borderline multiple personality disorder. He is a straight male, but one of the thing... (read in full...)

A.   7 July 2011: Honey... There's really no such thing as pain "down south" that only sex can relieve. If he's got blue balls, he can jerk it and if he doesn't like doing that, it's his own issue. Like everyone else has been saying, it's one of the OLDEST lines guys ... (read in full...)

Q.   Do you think it's okay for a fuck buddy to flirt with your friends? Also, should you talk to him about it?...

A.   1 February 2011: I agree with The Realist. He IS allowed to be single but its kind of classless to flirt (most likely with the intention of hooking up) with your friends. I mean, playful flirting is probably no biggie, as long as that's the level it stays at. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, I'm a 17 year old female who is suffering from hair on my butt, not my cheeks, it's inside of my cheeks around my hole. ( I apologize for graphis terms). I've been dating my boyfriend for 7 months, and we haven't really gotten to the sexual area ...

A.   7 February 2010: It's pretty normal. Chances are that, unless you're doing anal, he's not going to see any hair in your butt-crack/hole but if it bothers you, I would recommend waxing. It lasts longer and is probably easier and safer than sticking a sharp object in ... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm quite daunted by the idea of first time sex. I'm almost 22 and still a virgin. Not to mention I hear that women prefer men with experience and are quite turned off of having to 'teach' someone at all. I know there may be 'some' that don't mind, ...

Hollywood ex: Do? or don't?
