Q.   The subject of my fiancee going to a stag weekend where there they go to a strip club/pole dancing came up (we're together a year). He said he wouldn't think of going twice and what was the big deal. I was shocked at his reaction. He was then ...

A.   10 October 2011: Communication is the key, of course it is. However, some men are unable to articulate their needs/desires. My partner was a porn watcher and I tried to have conversations with him about this but he would just close up. So, I tried to embrace it, ... (read in full...)

Porn: sometimes it's helpful
