A.   20 June 2016: It's ok to want or even ask for oral sex but not to keep pestering someone who has said they don't want to do it. Just because you go down on her doesn't mean she HAS to do it for you either, that's not how sex works. If it's so important to you, ... (read in full...)

Q.   While I was at work, I noticed that a female has taken a shine to me, I don't know if I read into the wrong or she genuinely liked me. I've not asked her out, but I'm thinking of doing and im not sure what to do for the best. While I was making m...

A.   19 June 2016: I think that message is a bit OTT if I'm honest. I'd change it to say something more like 'Hey, thanks for giving me your email. I thought I'd take this opportunity to ask whether you fancied getting together for a coffee sometime? We don't get much ... (read in full...)

Why is my Bf refusing to tell me why he wants a tracking device?

Q.   Hi, first all thanks for reading this. My bf of 2 years suddenly asked me about a gps tracking device that he knows I had in the past. I told him I don't have it with me. It is in my locker ( work locker) and I asked what do you need for that ...

A.   5 June 2016: Could he want to see it because he wants to be sure you're not secretly using it to keep track of HIM? If so then he may be doing/planning to do something shady that he wants to make sure he doesn't get caught for...... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2016: The other answers are all possibilities, but it could also simply be that he struggles to share a bed with someone else. I am a very light sleeper and someone moving a lot or even breathing deeply can wake me up/ keep me awake. Sometimes I ... (read in full...)

Married 4 years and still my husband only wants 'vanilla' sex. What can I do to ease him towards more and liven up?

Q.   I have been married close to 4 years and have always wanted to explore intimately with my husband and he is aware of this desire but seems uninterested with anything beyond "vanilla" sex. Lately I feel incomplete longing for more from him, the desi...

A.   21 May 2016: But OP maybe he doesn't want to - maybe he is happy with the way things are? Some people are perfectly happy with a more tame sex live and it's not ok to try to force or even badger them into doing something they don't want to do. You say you've ... (read in full...)

What happened to 'live and let live' ? Why is 'slut shaming' and misogyny becoming prevalent in society today?

A.   5 May 2016: I think you should tell her not to come over because in my opinion she's being completely out of line. They have invited her to be a guest in their house under terms they are comfortable with and she's acting like a spoiled brat. It's only one night ... (read in full...)
