*rs. Mom's profile:

I'm a 51-year-old mom of two. I've been married for 18 years and lived with my boyfriend (now husband) for seven years before that. We've been through a lot together, including a near-breakup and a seriously ill child.

I think love and relationships make life worth living, even though they're very tricky at times.

He fingered me..am I still a virgin?

Q.   My boyfriend fingered me and I think he broke my hymen. Am I still a virgin?...

A.   22 February 2009: As far as I'm concerned, you're a virgin until a penis goes in there. Don't let him finger you unless you really want it, okay? And if being a virgin is important to you, then maybe you should cool it with the sexual activity. You have lots of ... (read in full...)

A.   22 February 2009: First, you have to be in a safe place where you won't be raped anymore. Do you have that? If not, call child protective services in your county and have them arrange for you to live someplace else. Next, if you are physically safe, I recommen... (read in full...)

A.   22 February 2009: Try getting a book about reproduction. You might get some good answers! I have heard that if you have sex frequently, the quality of the semen decreases: that is, each orgasm results in fewer sperm, because the man's ejaculating faster than his... (read in full...)

A.   22 February 2009: I think the cutting sex off is very manipulative. Maybe not controlling per se, but a very unhealthy way of handling a relationship. Why would he deliberately do something you told him had hurt you in the past? It's very troubling, but I have to ... (read in full...)

The antidepressants and alcohol problem are taking a toll on our sex life.

Q.   My gf and I have been together for 7 years, and our sex life has been a problem for me most of that time. When we met, we were both very sexual people, which was one of the things I was attracted to about her. Over the years she has taken ...

A.   22 February 2009: I'm glad she's not still drinking. Antidepressants can have a negative effect on the sex drive. I'm a little concerned about pushing hard with someone who may still be fragile, but I really think that this needs to be discussed between you and ... (read in full...)

A.   20 February 2009: I suggest you attend Al-anon meetings in order to learn how to live with alcoholism. Alcoholics put their drinking ahead of anything else, so I think you'll have a tough time convincing your girlfriend to give up her drinking for the sake of your ... (read in full...)

A.   20 February 2009: Of course you can not be with him. If you're going to deal with things like cheating, you have to try to be realistic about your own strengths and weaknesses and those of your mate, so don't start out with unrealistic statements like "I can't not be ... (read in full...)

If he's ever single again what should I do???

Q.   Okay, so here goes. There is this guy, we'll call him bob. Bob claims to be straight, but he has also told me that he loves me. Bob and I are very good friends, and I think he means love in the friend way. He has come out before as "Bi" but take...

A.   17 February 2009: That's a hard one. His coming out as bi and taking it back and saying he loves you but not the same way you love him makes it sound like he's using you as a way to explore his own sexuality. That could end up being really bad for you, in lots of ... (read in full...)

Q.   I asked a question on this site awhile ago about my ex and if i should give him a letter and what not. I have another question about him and I. Lately,I have been having these reoccuring dreams about him and I getting back together and him...

A.   17 February 2009: Dreams are not about other people; they are about ourselves. In your dream, your ex represents something you would like to have in your life. It could be him, though I don't understand why you would want a cheating boyfriend back. More likely, in ... (read in full...)

Is excessive masturbation the cause of his lack of love-making?

Q.   Hi, I have a sex problem. My boyfriend of five months is unable to have sex with me. We get to the stage, past all the foreplay, and then he loses his erection. Sometimes he fails to get one at all. I hate to sound sex mad but the lack of "action"...

A.   17 February 2009: It's possible that his masturbation is the cause, though if he's in the same range as you, it wouldn't be at all unusual for him to masturbate every day. The fact that he loses his erection after foreplay (implying that he had one earlier)... (read in full...)

I'm contemplating an affair because my marriage is unfulfilling!

A.   17 February 2009: My answer is still to focus on working on things with your husband. Make that your goal rather than the decision about your colleague. You sound really vulnerable, so I think it would be best to keep it very casual with the colleague. Good ... (read in full...)

I'm contemplating an affair because my marriage is unfulfilling!

A.   17 February 2009: I think you know the answer. Having an affair with this man would seriously undermine your marriage and possibly hurt your children. I don't think that's what you want, from what you've written. People do sometimes have affairs in response... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: I'm not sure what you mean by "for the record," and it's impossible to tell what his motives are. It's possible he wants to make up for your sad past. That's fine, but if you're not ready for him to move in with you, then say so. Be honest a... (read in full...)

Does he like receiving oral if he doesn't orgasm from it?

Q.   My boyfriend said he has never come from a blow job before. I want to give him oral during times when I'm on my period, but usually after a while he would stop me and say it's okay. He never asks me to finish him with my hands and he never finishes ...

A.   17 February 2009: It's possible he enjoys it even if he can't have orgasm from it. But the best way to know is to ask him! Plus you'll get the side benefit of starting out being frank about sex early instead of getting to age 50 and still being shy about it, like me ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: It's time for you to back out from between them. Telling Michael something so hurtful that Paige obviously didn't want him to know should be the signal to you that you were way out of your depth. You're young, and this is your first experien... (read in full...)

Do men call to message parlours for a verbal thrill?

Q.   Do men ever just call on "questionable" independent massage parlors for a verbal thrill? I am dating someone who makes frequent calls to these places from raunchy Backpage websites, but says he never actually goes to them. Sometimes the "masseuse" ...

A.   17 February 2009: I never knew one who did. Sounds like a slightly unsavory hobby. If you suspect he does more, find out more, and stop having sex with him until you're sure. I wouldn't want to risk catching an STD.... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: At seventeen, you're lucky he lasts 20 minutes! That's a long time, especially for a young guy. With most guys, there is a recovery period before they can achieve erection again (or for even being interested). It's just nature's way! If you ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: I don't think it's about rights, or who was guiltier of cheating. Your feelings of insecurity and jealousy matter, but they're not necessarily his responsibility. It sounds like he was honest with you about his feelings for his ex-girlf... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: People come to take each other for granted in every relationship. If you're in a long-term relationship, you're bound to lose the excitment of the pursuit. Ideally, your partner should trust you and trust that you won't cheat on him; so really, ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: He sounds like he has some emotional problems, and he does sound controlling. He's definitely playing emotional games with you. I say have a serious talk with him. Tell him he either has to trust you, or it's over. By the way, cutting the sex ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: I don't know the answer of whether sex is so important that you should leave your husband even if other parts of your marriage are satisfactory. Only you can answer that. I think you should sit down with your husband and explain to him sincerel... (read in full...)

A.   13 February 2009: I don't think you can. I think he has to do it. All you can do is persevere. I have to tell you it doesn't sound very appealing to me--waiting around until he gets over the fact that you've had sex in the past. I think it's a mark of immaturi... (read in full...)
