Can I be friends with my ex?

Q.   My ex-boyfriend and I started speaking again 5 months ago, after over a year of no contact after we broke up. We're extremely close and neither of us have the desire to get back together (although I wouldn't say those feelings have completely died ...

A.   26 May 2012: I used to think that exes can be friends till I analysed all my 'friendships' with my past boyfriends. They weren't friends. We would say 'hello' if we accidentally bumped into one another or even have a cup of tea together, but that's just ... (read in full...)

Q.   Ok I can't believe I did this i never in the 21 years that I’ve been with my husband cheated on him. People on this page can’t think any worse of me then I think of myself. My husband is the first man I ever been with. I’m 38 now I take very good ...

A.   26 May 2012: Forget this man, forget this ever happened. He's not worth it. Block him out. I know all that they say about honesty but if I were you, I'd not tell my husband and risk losing everything we have built and shared together. Two minutes of betrayal... (read in full...)

Why do so many women want to try having sex with a big penis if size doesn't matter?

Q.   Why do so many women want to try having sex with a big penis (like bigger than they've ever had before) if size doesn't matter? Why did men evolve big penises (length and girth) compared to other primates if size doesn't matter?...

A.   25 May 2012: No fixed rule. Different women like different things. I personally like bigger ones because they make one feel more filled. The small ones don't produce any sensation at all. ... (read in full...)

Why would my b/f be happy if his ex had been pregnant but not me?

Q.   My fiance and I were talking and the topic about babies came up. I would like to have a child soon, but he wants to wait. However, few months back when we were just dating and not engaged, his ex-gf had a prgnancy scare and it would have been his ...

A.   25 May 2012: I don't understand his logic. Does he mean to say that he likes to impregnate women he doesn't respect? That sounds weird to me, really. There has to be something else. Would he have gone back to her had she been pregnant or would he just be a long ... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2012: You're probably bisexual. I'd say, go for it! Tell him how you feel. You'll never know what exactly it is for you and whether you can 'adjust' to men unless you actually do it. Tell him the truth about your sexuality and explain how you're a... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2012: He has far too much baggage. And he obviously doesn't care about your feelings. You have to be more assertive and tell him what's acceptable and what's clearly not. If her persists, you will have got the message...that he doesn't care. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear Cupid, basically i'm really confused at the moment. I am taking this girl who I've liked for a long time to my end of year prom and was really looking forward to it. However I have always been wary whether the feelings were mutual and just ...

A.   21 May 2012: People update their relationship status for various reasons, apart from the obvious one. 1) To attract attention and make friends say, "Who is it?" 2) To make someone jealous. 3) To ward off unwanted attention. 4) When they are under the mistak... (read in full...)

A.   17 May 2012: I don't think this is a good idea at all. His mother is being unreasonable about the whole thing but deceiving her is not the solution to your friend's problems. You can't keep up the act all your lives and besides, if he's the sort who is obviously ... (read in full...)

A.   15 May 2012: I know that moving out is a big thing in Indian families. It's not as simple and taking a lease on a house and walking out. It usually signifies a complete severance of all ties. I wouldn't ask you to do that. But what you definitely need to do is ... (read in full...)

A.   15 May 2012: I wish I had an answer. I too don't want children and that's almost a crime in my culture! It's as if I'm this horrible, heartless woman who hates children (which I don't). My sympathies are with you, though. I just don't have a solution.... (read in full...)

A bit of innocent cuddling? Or could this lead to something more?

A.   15 May 2012: I really didn't know that "only friends" engage in cuddling, holding hands or spooning. It's not common, really. This sounds more like an FWB situation to me, just that you haven't had full-fledged sex. Do you want to have sex with him? Or are you ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend wants to have sex with a shemale.

Q.   I don't know if I should worry or not. My boyfriend and I have been together for 10months. He is 20 almost 21 years old. And well... My boyfriend wants to have sex with a shemale. The other day I found out that he's on craigslist looking to have sex...

A.   15 May 2012: I think he watches too much porn. This entire shemale sex thing is an invention of the porn industry which has to come up with bizarre new notions to keep people hooked, irrespective of how much psychological damage this causes. Your boyfriend is ... (read in full...)

Am I in the wrong here?

Q.   Hi there I need to know whether I am in the wrong here?? I was seeing a guy last november and it probably lasted a few months, until he was offered a job abroad (new zealand) on a contract for a year and a half. We had been friends before for a ...

A.   15 May 2012: It's obvious that he's not serious about you. Add to that the fact that he's emotionally cold, up for only 'fun' (that's a huge red flag), thoroughly unreliable, inconsistent, disrespectful and probably has something to hide. I wouldn't put it past ... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2012: A guy who likes 'easy' girls is 'easy' himself. Not surprisingly, no one ever uses that term to describe men. This man is not the one you want to be with, trust me. Do you really want to be with a man who would have sexual relations with just about ... (read in full...)

I'm a 20 year old virgin...is that a turn off?

Q.   I'm 20 years old and I'm in college. I've never had sex because I've never had a boyfriend and never wanted to sleep with random guys. No one ever believes me when I tell them I've never had sex mainly because I go out/party/drink a lot and ...

A.   14 May 2012: Not in the least. Be honest about your past and never pretend to be experienced when you're not. This isn't an issue at all. People have sex when they want to, not because they feel they have to. Have sex only when you feel you want it, not because ... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2012: I can't help observing how blame seems to have been heaped upon you (and as usual, only the woman is blamed) whereas HE was the one who was married, not you. HE was supposed to stay faithful, HE had taken vows with her, NOT YOU. HE cheated on his ... (read in full...)
