A.   18 February 2013: Men might love oral but you do need to feel happy doing it. He will love it if you do but shouldn't dump you if you don't. Most men appreciate it can be a bit of a chore for some women. Don't do it till your ready. And if you don't like it, save... (read in full...)

What is the right age to get engaged?

Q.   I know my question seems a little bland and broad, so let me try to rephrase... How old should a couple be when they get engaged for the first time? I am 18, currently and proudly dating a soon-to-be Marine. He hasn't been home for a few months. ...

A.   18 February 2013: The right age to get engaged? Whenever you like! You are over 18 so you don't need anyone's permission and divorce is common these days so its not like it has to be forever. Shame he's a marine though, you must know they have a really bad rep for ... (read in full...)

Why do we hurt the ones we truly love?

How do I put a stop to this flirting with me by a married man?

Q.   Well, here we go again! The married man I posted about before is no longer an issue for me, even though he is still very interested. A situation seems to be developing with this man's co-worker who I see almost as often as I see this aforementio...

A.   17 February 2013: I don't think you have to be hostile just a bit more assertive. Less feminine, more tough. Should gain you respect over sexual interest. I don't think its great, i'd much rather everyone got to be themselves, but the world is the way it is and ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2013: I get where he is coming from, I have friends/family who are vegans and wouldn't appreciate presents from large companies like that. I suppose it makes him feel like you don't really know him as the present isn't ethical and that is what he is ... (read in full...)

The best friend? Or the long distance friend?

Q.   I'm in a dilema between two women: the first is my best friend. I've been in love with her since the day we met. About a year ago, I tried to tell her how I felt, but I really couldn't get the words out the way I wanted to, and it ended up with her ...

A.   17 February 2013: It does sound like your best friend will probably say no, she most likely knows how you feel so if she wanted to be with you like that she would. Maybe you need some space from her as your feelings seem to be preventing you from moving on and ... (read in full...)

Q.   I’m 31 year old man and I’m having a trouble in my marriage. My wife ( she's 32) wants a child, I don’t. We are married for 4 years. We discussed this subject many times before our marriage. I told her I never want to have children and asked whether ...

A.   15 February 2013: She would have thought like most women do that you would change your mind or she could just get pregnant anyway. If she wants to get pregnant she will, what are you going to do, never have sex with her again?! The only way you can be sure is to have ... (read in full...)

Do women date guys they have only met once or twice?

Q.   Is it reasonable to date women if you have only met them once or twice? I ask this because I'm tired of "hanging out" in mixed sex groups and making friends with women instead of pursuing a relationship. I find this form of courtship useles...

A.   15 February 2013: Yeah, if you hang out with them too much first you risk falling into 'friends' rather than something more. Dating is a risky game, you will get rejections but everyone does so it isn't a reflection on you. Be brave ask girls out, if they say no just ... (read in full...)

A.   15 February 2013: I'm assuming this isn't a one off and he quite often plays computer games and expects you to do the housework? Sounds like he's a bit selfish, unfortunately with men and relationships in general you normally can't change someone. So if you really ... (read in full...)

A.   15 February 2013: He is a bastard! Any man who can't respect other people's feelings whether they cared about them or not is not worth it. If I were you I'd avoid places you think he might be at for a while. It's a lot easier to get over someone if you don't see them... (read in full...)

Is this normal for a couple to have a sexual relationship in this way? And am I turning gay?

Q.   HI I have this question that I hope will not be taken the wrong way. My wife and I don't have sex very often but she watches me masturbate myself. It's come to the point that I like to masturbate in front of her rather than have sex. When I'm r...

A.   9 February 2013: Everyone enjoys masturbating as no one knows your body like yourself, but you are losing the intimacy with your wife that sex brings. She is probably fine with it now but give her a few years and she'll be posting on here about lack of sex life! A... (read in full...)
