Will I ever feel attracted to her sexually like I used to?

Q.   Hello. This is actually a question my boyfriend wanted me to ask. He says : " Ever since my girlfriend had a baby , I do not feel sexually attracted to her at all. She has lost all her baby weight but I just dont see her the same anymore. Sh...

A.   7 October 2009: Ok, I'm not a guy, but in his defense it is possible that he is acting this way because now you are a different person to him, and the entire situation is different. Maybe because now you are not "young girlfriend" anymore, now youre "mother of his ... (read in full...)

A.   7 October 2009: Yeah, in this particular case I think you may have over reacted, because you did say the he recently bumped into both of them. Now, if this repeats and becomes a pattern, then I would start to become concerned. But just the one time I don't think ... (read in full...)

Is she making lame excuses?

Q.   My long distance gf doesn't call me the way she used to. I thought she is having problem. I wait and being there for her to talk to. Months passed. Things get worse. If she missed my call, she doesn't call back. The last time she called, is a mon...

A.   7 October 2009: Yes, not having a calling card does sound like a lame excuse. And if she doesn't even email or chat with you, then she is probably losing interest. Unless her computer access is suddenly gone. And if that was the case, she should have been ... (read in full...)

A.   7 October 2009: If he likes to watch porn, I don't think he will ever stop. You need to either accept that, or move on. Watching pornography is not like cheating, which is why he will probably continue to do it behind your back, as long as you don't find out. A ... (read in full...)

A.   7 October 2009: Your issue is not whether he will look at nudie magazines while away from you. Your real issue is whether or not you want to stay in a marriage where you barely ever get to see your husband, and your husband is not willing to give up the job that ... (read in full...)

A.   6 October 2009: No, I don't think it would be weird to like being fat, if by "fat" you mean heavier than before but still a normal weight. If you were a stick before, and have gained a lot of weight it is very possible that now you are curvy and attractive. ... (read in full...)

A.   5 October 2009: My two cents is that as long as he is not cheating on you, let him have his thing whatever that is! However, if it is interfering with your sex life together, then he needs curb how much he does it. One thing that does make me wonder, though, is ... (read in full...)

A.   5 October 2009: Don't ruin your friendship. Don't tell him anything now. But, since he is your best friend, you should ask him for advice on how to attract a certain guy that you are interested in! :) This accomplishes two things. One, if he has any feelings ... (read in full...)

A.   5 October 2009: So did this guy actually do or say anything to make you feel like he's not into you anymore? Or are you just afraid that he isn't? And let me put it to you in another way... if ten pounds of weight is what stands between him and you, then good ... (read in full...)

A.   5 October 2009: Hmmm... that doesn't sound right, for a woman to not even be able to masturbate successfully. Regardless of how young she is, (I am assuming she is at least 18). The first thing that she needs to work on then, in this case, is to successfully ... (read in full...)
