Hi, my name is Bethany :)

I enjoy the outdoors, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, camping, horse riding, sky diving.. Anything!

I have very storing ties to family and work hard in my relationships.

Nothing qualifies me to help people, but I have an open heart, I'm not judgemental and enjoy helping when I can and giving someone a fresh way to think of something.

I live in Australia and love my country.

I'm currently in a long term relationship.

Let me know if my answers helped you and give me feedback :) feel free to privately message me if you want to ask anything :)

Q.   I'm struggling with a problem that's destroying me. I'm helplessly in love with my best friend. She's everything I ever wanted in a girl. Unfortunately, she's extremely broken. She was molested on different occasions by her brother and her uncle and ...

A.   26 June 2013: I urge you listen to fishdish. Far as I'm concerned that is the truth. She needs a lot of help from professionals who can help her in the best way she needs. I, myself, was sexually assaulted by a family member (no where near the kind of trauma she ... (read in full...)

Is this really cheating?

Q.   I'm separated for 3 years now. I ran into my high school sweetheart a few weeks ago and made a lunch date. At our lunch we discussed everything. I told her about my cheater wife and she told me about her bad marriage. Long story short, she asked me ...

A.   23 June 2013: It's not water or money or shelter that she NEEDS. She does not need you to step in and have sex with her. You probably know this and have been pushing it to the back of your mind because of desire. She is married. Her child will be affected... (read in full...)

A.   23 June 2013: 6" is actually average size so you're fine :) and remember, the tightness of a girls vagina doesn't determine whether she was a good one night stand or not. Sex in the one night stand context is about positions and angles that push your penis ... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2013: To a certain extent, yes it is normal to form a big crush on the person you lost your virginity to. Yu thought it would be with someone special so maybe your brain is using a crush on him as a coping mechanism? He wasn't special enough so you're ... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2013: As for church, I would simply push that aside and be happy that he may just be introducing someone to faith. But, as for your work situation, if the behaviour continues and becomes stalking or harassing then do something about it. At the moment you ... (read in full...)

So girls, would you rather have a chat and a long cuddle etc from a guy you are attracted to, or better that he not approach you at all, if he can't give you more time?

Q.   Question for girls, I have quite long periods when I don't have time to date girls, due to time restraints of work and being on call there. My job requires me at times to be in the busy nightlife area. I often get signals from girls trying to get me ...

A.   19 May 2013: I would have a chat, as I love to get to know new people, but not a cuddle. I understand that I'm fairly old fashioned in some respects but I am not big on hugging or touching people I don't know so I see it as uncomfortable when someone approaches ... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2013: Porn and mastication is totally normal, especially for men where masturbation isn't a big sensual, romantic ordeal, BUT you can become addicted to pornography. A close friend of mine was for many years but he got past it. It's not something we ever ... (read in full...)

Q.   How does someone get into a relationship when he has no friends? I've tried talking with girls on these social online sites but i find it awkward trying to start a conversation online with a person i've never met. I mean how do people do this?....

A.   11 May 2013: Honestly compliments always go down well and smile and don't cross physical barriers. "Hey how are you?" Or "hi my names John, how are you?" And shake her hand or even enter with a compliment like smile at her and when she smiles back approach... (read in full...)

A.   11 May 2013: Furthermore, you say you believe in "sex before love" and I completely agree. I lost my virginity to my current partner before I loved him and I have had sex but never 'made love' and I feel there is a big difference. I feel that the fact that sex ... (read in full...)

A.   11 May 2013: Your therapist does not sound very professional at all. I personally would not take advice on any subject from someone who thinks sleeping with a prostitute will cure social anxiety. I would not throw away my values for something like this that MIGH... (read in full...)

Why does the girlfriend of my boyfriend's friend act this way? It makes me very uncomfortable!
