A.   2 April 2014: His life sounds like one huge slow motion train wreck. Some women find train wrecks attractive. If you observe the situation over a longer period of time, I'm willing to bet that almost no one involved in the train wreck will find lasting ... (read in full...)

A.   2 April 2014: In my estimation, he wouldn't have put your hand on his crotch if he was gay. He might be extremely inexperienced with women and feels anxiety when you touch him. I had this issue when I was younger, but it went away after I'd been with a few wo... (read in full...)

A.   6 September 2011: I can see why it would bother him somewhat not to have sex, but waiting this long to say anything about it is odd (if it really did bother him that much). Just for the sake of context, did you have sex before you were married? If not, I can unde... (read in full...)

A.   24 August 2011: I agree with everything Yos said. He is probably one of the most knowledgable and helpful "aunts" on topics such as this. I don't think having answers to your questions would give you peace of mind, even if it were possible to get precise answers.... (read in full...)

Will my strange body movements during an orgasm turn off a guy?

Q.   This is kind of an embarrassing question for me. I haven't had sex in my relationships yet, but when I'm on my own (meaning masturbating) I feel that when I orgasm I squirm too much up until when I arch my back becoming stiff, and my lower body ...

A.   11 April 2011: Oh, I forgot to mention that your body movements don't sound "strange" at all to me from the way you've described them. Worrying about things like this will take the enjoyment out of sex.... (read in full...)

A.   11 April 2011: Bring on the extreme! Please! I've never been bothered by a woman having too much reaction during an orgasm. But, I've been somewhat dissappointed at times if a woman has almost no outward signs of orgasm. I guess it's possible there might be a... (read in full...)

A.   12 March 2011: It's difficult to know what is on his mind, how he feels. I'm sure you have enough experience to know that relationships are often not black and white, love or hate. My best guess is that he is experiencing a mixture of emotions. He obviousl... (read in full...)

A.   5 March 2011: I had many mad crushes on girls when I was in my teens, but none of those are anything other than a reminder of how immature I was at that age. My first real love is very important in some ways. I will always be grateful to her for understanding me ... (read in full...)

A.   5 March 2011: I highly doubt your girlfriend is acting just to make you feel better. What she is saying sounds very believable to me. Perhaps a woman could correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been told that even a tampon is quite a tight fit for women who've nev... (read in full...)

Q.   I am in my early thirties. My girlfriend is in her late twenties. She is my first real girlfriend. Sad I know but I just hadn't been in the right places at the right time to meet that somebody special until last year. Basically I am not exactly Mr ...

A.   5 March 2011: I can understand where you're coming from because I've been in a somewhat similar situation, and I've had similar thoughts. I decided not to act on these thoughts, and I don't regret it for a second. Take some time to think about what is really i... (read in full...)

A.   23 February 2011: I certainly agree that people can choose to cheat or not, but that's not an answer to the question. It also begs the question: why do people with a specific gene mutation choose to cheat at twice the rate of people who do not have this mutation? ... (read in full...)

A.   2 February 2011: To my mind, you are being reasonable. But, what is "reasonable" is purely subjective, so there is no "right" answer. The real question is whether or not you can be happy being married to someone who is still friends with her exes and men she had ... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2011: I can understand your concern. Given how widespread this concern is amoung men, I can't see how it represents some sort of abnormal preoccupation. Having said that, your size is probably not much of an issue to your girlfiend. According to a doc... (read in full...)

Do women really prefer more 'masculine' men for sex but less 'masculine' men for relationships?
