How do I get my bf to try anal with me?

Q.   Straight to the point, how do I get my bf to try anal with me? I’ve brought it up a couple of times and I’ve done it before with other bf’s but my bf now is the most respectful guy that even when we have sex he asks if he can do certain things which ...

A.   11 July 2019: My opinion is that you should ask him DURING sex, right before he's about to put it in. Tell him where you want him to put it. If he can resist that I don't know what to tell you!... (read in full...)

A troubling situation is arising my dad is becoming a creep

Q.   Firstly,my dad has never abused or molested me growing up and he was actually very protective of me and my sister. Now even as an adult my father will do anything for me and he has expressed that I'm his favorite child. I never felt weird around my ...

A.   29 May 2019: I don't want this to come off as defending your dad, but I think he may not realize how upsetting his behavior is to you. Make it very clear. Don't allow any chance of a misunderstanding. It'll be an awkward conversation, but it's better than bei... (read in full...)

My boyfriend is very casual about his daughters' privacy and I find it very very odd

A.   19 May 2019: I see my daughters (9 and 11) naked on occasion and neither I nor they feel it's a big deal. To be honest I think by making it a big deal people are being kind of weird. I have absolutely no sexual attraction/desire for my daughters in any way, and ... (read in full...)

A.   23 April 2019: Talk is cheap; if you don't just want a one night stand, don't give them a one night stand. He can say whatever he wants but if this is the kind of thing you want to avoid, then you'll need to make them prove themselves to you. This doesn't take one ... (read in full...)

A.   24 March 2019: What you really need to do is find out if he's still living with her. If seperated means "we live together but don't get along", that is just cheating. But if he lives in his own place it's not uncommon for people to remain married for years af... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend of five years ordered an unborn pedigree puppy for a female friend. She walks his dog when he is at work. During the time he sought out, and checked out breeders, I told him that I found this to be a highly inappropriate gift. During ...

Q.   Hello Aunts and Uncles! My friend recently started asking me seriously (up until now it was purely rhetorical) why she can't find a partner. Should I tell her what I think? It's just an opinion, I'm not a shrink. I'm afraid that she migh...

A.   22 December 2018: The first answer by female anonymous is a great one. And as someone else said, your input will probably not help. But maybe if you tell her what female anonymous said it will be less your opinion and more "science". Maybe with some luck a light bu... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend said I don't deserve to be talked at with respect because I'm not glam. Why do I attract abusive men both my last two boyfriend's have been that way. Verbally and physically....

A.   6 November 2018: I'd guess that you are probably attracted to the type of guy that turns out to be abusive. There's a chance that something about you attracts them too, but the odds seem better the other way. Ideally you could learn what it is and start rejecting ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, I'm needing help on what to do next in my situation . OK, so I checked his phone. But I had to. He's been acting strange lately. I saw a phone number that called him this morning. And the call lasted 23 minutes so he had a conversation...

A.   2 November 2018: You should be able to look up his call history on your cell phone company's website... If you see that number multiple times you know that he's lying, end of story. I woulda try that before calling the number and introducing yourself. If it's the... (read in full...)

Men never notice me, it makes me feel bad.

Q.   I am 23 and I never get hit on, catcalled, approached, or asked out. I've never even had a boyfriend before. My friends seem to get hit on and catcalled and it starts making me feel like I am unattractive. I never thought I was ugly but not getting ...

A.   26 October 2018: Don't judge your looks by the attention you receive... Multiple times I've seen two women together, one gets ignored and the other hit on a few times (at bars or clubs). The ones that get hot on are generally not more attractive, sometime... (read in full...)

Does him not being able to stay hard with me prove he isn’t attracted to me physically?

A.   7 September 2018: Move on and save some money. Don't let her try to talk you out of it, she will likely be manipulative considering she needs your money. Talking care of someone like her is not your job anymore, she's an adult.... (read in full...)

Is she worth pursuing?

Q.   I'm in a really low place right now. I've been dating a girl for the past 4 months ( I'm 30 she's 26) and during the past month she's grown incredibly distant. She only texts me when I text her now, sometimes it takes her days to reply, she never ...

A.   7 September 2018: I don't see a point in persuing her further since this is how it makes you feel to pursue her. Talking doesn't seem to help. It's either not the right time or she's not the right person, but you're obviously barking up the wrong tree. Her words may ... (read in full...)

A.   4 September 2018: Who cares about your ridiculous marriage... Let your child see his dad for God's sake! I've never heard such a poor excuse to withhold visitation (he's "confused")!!! It sounds like you're using your son to manipulate your husband. It needs to... (read in full...)

A.   29 June 2018: Unless I missed it, you didn't ask a question, so I'm not sure how to answer. That being said what they did is inconsiderate but it's also their right as free human beings. Maybe you should find new friends.... (read in full...)

Is a B-cup too small?

Q.   Is B-cup too small? Everyone in my family has A-cup boobs, but I am a B-cup. I am not growing anymore, and all my friends and family make fun of me and call me flat. It hurts me a lot. So, on legitimate average? When is a boob size too small, or too ...

A.   8 February 2018: Don't overthink it, he's an asshole, and the two of you are not meant to be. Trying to wonder what happened or where things went wrong is as useful as arguing with a crazy person. It's also better to find out now than after you get married. Good ... (read in full...)

My girlfriend wants a break, what chance is there for us?

Q.   So my girlfriend said she needs space to work out what she wants. Now I know that this isn’t a good thing but is it necessarily a bad thing? Obviously I have agreed to give her space for one week. Two points though do I text her at all to make sure ...
