A.   18 March 2010: There have been a lot of good answers already. I think we watch it because it is easy and pleasurable, because men like watching women have sex, because it relieves pent up sexual needs (and younger men can easily have such needs, even if they have ... (read in full...)

What do girls really mean when they say "size doesn't matter"?

Q.   For just about the majority of my life, I've heard all about that "bigger is better" stuff. Well I'm pretty much 18 now and I'm convinced that I won't be growing down there anymore since it's been that way since I was 12. Mine is 4.5 inches lon...

A.   1 March 2010: From a guy: What they really mean is that its what you do that counts. If your technique is good, you will be able to satisfy women with 4.5" just fine. The average is maybe 5" anyhow -- believe me, the half inch isn't going to make you or break ... (read in full...)

A.   1 March 2010: I would have mixed feelings. Sure, I can see why he might feel he needs to protect himself. At the same time, I'd worry that prenuptial agreements reduce the incentive to make the marriage work out, and bespeak a certain unwillingness to commit. ... (read in full...)

A.   20 February 2010: Horrible is stretching it, but teenagers don't (statistically speaking, every individual case is different) make the greatest decisions. My guess is that the worry of most parents isn't that you will have sex, it is that you will get pregnant, get ... (read in full...)

A.   15 February 2010: Sleeping with people does not repair relationships. Boy, would that be a simple answer! Doesn't work though. Whatever was going on, personality-wise, will still be going on... plus the extra pressure of a sexual relationship. You will end up feeling ... (read in full...)

A.   15 February 2010: There isn't any way to look positively at cheating on a pregnant wife. He's lying to someone with whom he made a serious commitment. She BROUGHT A CHILD INTO THIS WORLD FOR HIM, and all he can think about is his own needs. He's a skunk. And you are ... (read in full...)

A.   15 February 2010: My take: He's not at all in love with you. Like most guys, that doesn't prevent him from wanting sex -- but he's not a jerk and wouldn't want to hurt you. Since you told him your virginity is special, he doesn't want you to lose it with him. In ... (read in full...)

A.   12 February 2010: You can't get pregnant without getting sperm in the vagina. I suppose that could happen without direct penetration, although it seems pretty unlikely. But if he didn't ejaculate while you were around, it's impossible. If you are really freaked ... (read in full...)

Q.   Do guys care as much about weight as girls imagine them to? Or do girls simply create this belief that most guys like slim girls? I'm in a fairly new relationship and i'm really happy with my boyfriend but i'm extremely insecure and am completel...

A.   11 February 2010: They care -- guys are exposed to the same ideals as everyone else -- but not as much as most women think. Women who are 10 or even 20 lbs over weight generally still look fine to the guys who love them. 150lbs is another story... Perso... (read in full...)
