*arris's profile:

I'm 20 year old female, living in the UK, who probably isn't the most experienced sexually or in the world, but have a WIDE range of friends, which has given me the supporting role to all these people.

My friends have always come to me for advice, and I kind of pride myself on my balanced view of most situations. At the end of the day, I just really want to help people. =)

Why is no one interested in taking it beyond 'casual sex' with me?

Q.   Hi, I'm 38 and I haven't had a boyfriend since 2000. I take care of myself -- I'm well-educated, slim, sociable, good job etc -- but no one is interested in taking it beyond the casual sex stage. At one point, I went two years without even the...

A.   4 March 2007: My personal opinion is that you shouldn't have sex with someone that you don't already feel that bond with. Maybe men feel the same way... Therefore when you sleep with them they don't see it as anything more than casual sex, some men might ev... (read in full...)

Q.   how can a man last longer havin sex?...

A.   4 March 2007: Not being a man myself, I can't give any personal experience advice, but from previous partners and friends, I've heard that basically it just takes practice. You learn what really turns you on and then just kinda hold yourself back. Some people j... (read in full...)

A.   4 March 2007: Well, if you & he are having sex like crazy, then it's obvious why he hasn't been with his wife. He gets all his sexual gratification from you. I think you need to step back from the situation and ask yourself why you're with a man who would sl... (read in full...)

My boyfriend hired male strippers for my birthday, but I don't want them!

Q.   I was told by a good friend that my boyfriend had spent £3,000 on hiring male strippers for my birthday. They said they'd got some evidence about it which was too upsetting to reveal. I found the evidence of it at home: loads of bills for male s...

A.   4 March 2007: Be honest. You could either do this directly, by confronting him and telling him that you know what he's done and how you feel about it. Or you could be more delicate about it and try to bring up the topic of strippers in conversation. It's ... (read in full...)

A.   4 March 2007: I'm sorry honey, I don't know what to tell you. Sure, you could argue that this man is still young and could still be unsure of his preference, which is true... But if he has outwardly expressed that he is completely straight then you have to ... (read in full...)

A.   28 February 2007: Tell him to make up his mind. He either wants to be with his wife or he wants to be with you. He can't have both. I know it's difficult, but even if he says he wants you yet won't leave his wife because of the children, you have to walk away. He... (read in full...)

A.   28 February 2007: I don't think that he should GIVE you money. He worked and earned that money for himself, and you don't have the right to take that away from him just because you're dating. On the other hand, I do believe that it's a little mean of him not to o... (read in full...)

A.   28 February 2007: The question is, when you're with him do you have sex or do you make love? The difference in phrasing is tiny, but there are massive differences between them. In this case, your boyfriend probably turned you down, simply because he wasn't in the m... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2007: I think that he's just trying not to make the same mistakes again. His past engagements probably didn't work out because they were moving too fast. If you're not ready to get married, then it's good that he doesn't want to marry you yet, isn't it... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2007: You should talk to your boyfriend, but considering he's going behind your back to "spite" you, I think that the result isn't going to be great. Tell him that you know about him cheating (on your feelings... Obviously don't accuse him with anything... (read in full...)

A.   26 February 2007: I would steer clear of the situation. Because she's your ex, people would just see you meddling and think you're doing it for yourself, rather than your ex. On the other side of the coin though, DO NOT lie about it. If she asks you straight out ... (read in full...)

A.   26 February 2007: I think you should be honest about how many other people you've been with. If somebody judges you on that, it's pretty obvious that they're not meant for you. You should DEFINITELY tell your partner if you've picked up an STD from someone.... (read in full...)

A.   18 January 2007: My personal opinion is that no matter how much you think you love someone, it is NOT ENOUGH if you would ever cheat on them. You shouldn't be with either of these guys, and there isn't a single person involved that won't get hurt by this. Get out ... (read in full...)
