Is this what you would call 'love'?

A.   31 October 2008: I think sometimes people over complicate the word 'love'. Considering you have been with your bf for 3 years suggests to me that there must be something strong there to make it work that long and to keep you both there, and this could be very well ... (read in full...)

A.   31 October 2008: If you arent comfortable making a sex tape, for whatever reason, whether it be fear of someone else seeing, or because you think they are sick and wrong- thats your opinion and you have the right to it. Dont do something you dont feel ok with doing. ... (read in full...)

A.   18 October 2008: My guess is he stops because and withdraws from you because he is about to cum- and the cum is what can get you pregant. However, despite this, there is such a thing as 'pre cum' which comes out from the penis before he actually cums. And this too ... (read in full...)

A.   18 October 2008: No, you won't be scared of sex forever. Everyone is scared of sex at first. Its the fear of the unknown. Its not something that is openly talked about, so its sort of like a mystery. The fact that you are scared, is a huge sign that you are... (read in full...)

Sometimes when we're kissing he has his eyes closed, which is very odd to me.

A.   17 October 2008: I thought it was common to kiss with your eyes shut? And "odd" to kiss with your eyes open?? Have you ever been to an eye doctor and had they tell you to keep your eyes open and look straight at them while they have a magnify glass right up to yo... (read in full...)

A.   17 October 2008: I think your right in being suspicous of him. The only other reason I can think of why he would have a condom under his bed apart from him possibly cheating, is maybe its a really old one? Some people (especially guys) are messy and have rubb... (read in full...)

A.   14 October 2008: I dont think you would have symptoms so soon...but dont take my word on that, im not an expert. It could be just that you are worried, so you are actually 'creating' the sore throat yourself. I know that when I first started having sex, I was so... (read in full...)

Do some women prefer to deal with men at arms length?

Q.   Good morning. I appreciate that all men are different and that all women are different. Could someone explain to me (in a work related context) why a woman would turn down one guy's approach face-to-face by saying 'let's just be friends' whereas she ...

A.   3 October 2008: I think that she must of found the guy who she turned down face to face less intimidating then the guy she turned down by email/via HR. Or maybe she had more respect for the guy who she turned down face to face. Maybe she felt she owed that to him,... (read in full...)
