Some people are going to hate what I say. But sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

"Most people live lives of quiet desperation"

My advice is always intended to be harsh, but fair and helpful. I hope you enjoy and that it raises the occasional smile. Now get the hell out of my face. Choose life.

Q.   When my boyfriend tries to finger me it really hurts. (This is the most sexual activity I've paricipated in.) The first time it was OK, but it didnt turn me on at all. And the second time it hurt. I told him to stop, which he did of course. I feel...

A.   2 February 2006: Out there, indeed on this very site, there are guys that are highly sexed, just like you. In fact many of those same sex-guys are with women whose libido is less than theirs, resulting in a mis-match. The ideal scenario would be for those girls to ... (read in full...)
