Is it normal for me to feel turned off by my bfs porn use? The porn is always portrayed with younger women

Q.   Is it normal for me to feel turned off by my bfs porn use? Knowing that he is watching and getting off to younger women who nearly always look perfect seems to affect my sex drive with him and I can't seem to feel sexy . I am a healthy woman in...

A.   4 May 2015: You have no obligation to put up with porn use in your relationship. Porn affects a relationship much more than we imagine. Read "Pornland" by Gail Dines to see what I mean. If he knows that you don't approve of porn use and that it affects you, but ... (read in full...)

The smell of smokers is a turn-off for me. Was it wrong of me to reject her? What else could I do?

Q.   I am a guy who doesn't seem to have problems attracting girls. I can't stand girls when they are drunk or smokers, also both because of the smell. The drunk ones are not an issue, as I tell them that when we meet, she should refrain from drinkin...

A.   4 May 2015: I'm a smoker myself but I understand that a lot of people don't like the smell of smoke. It's just a choice you have to make. Do you like her enough to be with her in spite of the cigarette smell or is the intolerance to the smell more of an issue? ... (read in full...)

A.   3 May 2015: If you think that you have it in you to forgive her and try to re-build the relationship, then give a chance. Otherwise, walk away.... (read in full...)

Has "nice guy" become a derogatory term?

Q.   It seems like when you call someone a "nice guy" it seems as if it has some sort of negative connotation to it as if it is synonymous with loser, wimp, geek/nerd, pushover etc. basically anything that would be viewed as unattractive to the opposite ...

A.   3 May 2014: Agree entirely with person12345. A genuinely nice guy is nice because he is that way and not because he thinks that will help him get something from someone. And being nice is never out of fashion. Everyone appreciates genuine niceness. ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me and has no reason for doing so

A.   3 May 2014: I agree with the female anon too. I also think that he's inconsiderate about your feelings and you might want to think whether you really want him back. People don't do this to people they love, you know. But anyway, don't show the fact that you're ... (read in full...)

Help for giving a second chance?

Q.   So, my ex and I have decided to give things a second chance after being apart for about 7 months. We both recognise we made mistakes and both still feel strong for each other, even if it's not quite how it was when we first got together. We both ...

A.   11 February 2014: You know what, the success or failure of this depends on the reasons why you broke up in the first place. If infidelity was involved, it will be very difficult for it to work out this time. So it's hard to tell unless we know why you moved away from ... (read in full...)

I went to the movies with a male friend. Was that cheating on my boyfriend?

Q.   I've been friends with this guy for 2 years and 2 weeks ago he told me he's never had a gf before and that I was the first girl that got close to him and he developed feelings for me, I reminded him I have a boyfriend that I love, he said he was ...

A.   2 January 2014: I don't think you've cheated on your boyfriend but you should have told him for sure. It's very important to keep all channels of communication open. And please don't encourage this friend of yours who clearly wants you for himself. I know it's very ... (read in full...)

Q.   A little background of my situation. I have been married for almost 6 years. After about a year of happy marriage I found my husband talking with and exchanging nude pictures online. I confronted him and he apologized and promised it would never ...

A.   2 January 2014: Your husband is not only bisexual/homosexual, he's also a cheat. Do you want to be with someone who repeatedly cheats on you? Do you think he values you enough? If I were in your shoes, I'd end it, no matter how painful. I couldn't live my life ... (read in full...)

A.   2 January 2014: Yes, you will eventually get over him. We have all been in your position, trust me. It will be painful, heart-breaking, you'll wet your pillow for nights...and in the end, time has a way of mending things. All you can do is wait for time to work its ... (read in full...)

Troubled relationship with my daughter leaves me feeling very blue

Q.   I have what most Mum's would regard as a great relationship with my daughter. She lives a five hour train journey away, visits maybe twice a year. For financial and other reasons I've not been able to visit her this year, but usually I would and ...

A.   1 January 2014: I'm afraid my response won't be of much help because I'm probably closer to your daughter's age and it would be difficult for me to place myself in your shoes. What you wrote made me very angry and desperately sad at the same time. I think you're a ... (read in full...)

A.   22 December 2013: I think he might be a porn addict. He's basically using you as an object to jerk off. He doesn't know what it is to make love. I think this portends an awful relationship ahead with selfishness, coldness and possibly, porn addiction as a regular ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have no idea what to do or dont do. I made a few promises to my girlfriend and two of them are to never do anything sexual to her (including kissing) and never masterbate. Since my girlfriend thinks sex is gross and painful, I respected her ...

A.   22 December 2013: Is your girlfriend asexual? Sounds like it. Maybe a victim of sexual abuse? The point is, are you unhappy? What do you feel about the way you've modified your life in accordance with her wishes? Do you think you could live like this? ... (read in full...)

I'm considering changing my personality to become a jerk in order to date!

Q.   So, I've recently, after the same bullshit of "I see you more as a friend", decided to change myself into the complete opposite of what I am now, knowing that it will take a long time. Today I behave like a Gentlemen when dating, red roses as a ...

A.   10 December 2013: No, I don't agree that women like jerks. Everyone wants and likes a genuine person, a true gentleman/lady and don't let silly generalisations make you think otherwise. You cannot change your personality. Either you're a genuine gentleman or you're a ... (read in full...)

A.   10 December 2013: Do you really care about such immature conduct? He's either upto some silly game involving other women or he's just an idiot. Either way, he doesn't deserve your attention. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I've been with my bf for 3 years. We're both in our 30's. We don't live together. Anyway, sometimes I feel he's a pervert. lol. I know this sounds silly, and especially at my age, but almost every thing we watch together has T and A in it. He also ...

A.   3 December 2013: He doesn't seem to care that this weird, immature habit of his bothers you. That is what bothers me because if you've told him that it bothers you, it's only natural for someone who loves you to address the issue and at least try not to ... (read in full...)

What am I doing wrong?

Q.   I think I am doing something wrong when it comes to dating. Every time I am with a girl I seem to screw it up or the circumstance won't let me advance further. For example, the other day I was in a party and I was hanging with a girl who seemed to ...

A.   3 December 2013: Yes, you're certainly doing something wrong. You firstly need to begin respecting women instead of "making a move" or trying to "pick up". Your language itself betrays your disrespectful stance and women probably sense it and lose interest in you. ... (read in full...)

Why do many people find atheism offensive?

Q.   Why do many people find atheism offensive? When I'm asked about my religion, I say that I'm not religious. When I'm asked further, I simply state that I'm atheist. If the asker is religious then they seem put off. Yet they asked. It's not something ...

A.   2 December 2013: If your atheism offends someone, that's a clear sign that they're close-minded, narrow and probably stupid. Great way of finding out how people really are, isn't it? Unfortunately, society tolerates much religious nonsense but has little patience ... (read in full...)

A.   2 May 2013: The stereotype that men want and desire sex all the time and women don't is rubbish...plain and simple. You're a normal, healthy girl with hormones playing their games. Enjoy this phase but don't do anything rash, don't sleep with just anyone unless ... (read in full...)

A.   1 May 2013: You're not overreacting. He obviously wants to keep his options open and that means she's more important to him than you are. He's broken a promise made to you. Now he's contacting her on the sly. All this doesn't bode well for your relationship. I ... (read in full...)

My girlfriend's reluctance to add me to Facebook has made me suspicious

Q.   I never thought I would be writing to DearCupid about this kind of question. Usually when I see questions about facebook, my advice is to just get over it because it's just facebook. Relationsips shouldn't be based on what he/she liked on someone ...

A.   9 March 2013: I personally fail to understand her reluctance unless it's something to do with sporting a different persona online, possibly a flirtatious one. Some people like attention on the internet and hate revealing that they're not single. That seems the ... (read in full...)

A.   25 November 2012: Maybe she just doesn't want to have sex all the time? Thought about that? No one is always in the mood. So when you don't want to have sex, she shouldn't get angry and vice versa. Play a game of scrabble instead, or just cuddle and go off to sleep. ... (read in full...)

A.   25 November 2012: I think it is selfish when a man wants a woman to mess with her hormones for his pleasure. A condom is a physical contraceptive device, it doesn't go inside his system, but pills do. I don't ever take pills and if a guy doesn't like using condoms, I ... (read in full...)

A.   18 October 2012: Things are different in developed countries, I suppose. In my country, a two hour commute each way isn't really a big deal, to be honest. I do it myself. Many people commute 3-4 hours each way when they come into the city to work and return to their ... (read in full...)

A.   18 October 2012: Don't put the whole darn thing inside your mouth, just the head of the penis. Porn isn't a good guide for these kind of things, you know. And never let the guy push deeper. It's your mouth. Gagging is NOT a part of oral sex. Do it the way YOU feel ... (read in full...)

A.   16 October 2012: I wouldn't assume that she's a gold-digger simply because she's a lot younger than you are. And whatever she may be, it's none of your family's business really. You have to take a firm stand and tell them to stop humiliating your girlfriend in ... (read in full...)
