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...)

A.   9 February 2013: A lot of people have sex with their partners to keep them happy, I think as long as you enjoy it 80% of the time it's kind of ok. It can be hard to reduce the amount you have sex without annoying your bf. but if he truly cares he should unde... (read in full...)

Can anyone please explain to me how it's possible to be too sweet?

Q.   Can anyone please explain to me how it's possible to be too sweet? Last weekend when I went out with a girl I've known a few years, we got a little drunk and totally unexpected she kissed me, I've liked this girl since the moment I met her but be...

A.   9 February 2013: Drunken kisses don't mean the same thing as sober kisses. After enough drink I'll kiss all sorts of people! Doesn't mean I like them or want a relationship with them. She is just giving you an excuse as to why you aren't her type. Doesn't mean other ... (read in full...)

Could we still be friends when I want to rip off his shirt?

Q.   Dear cupids, There's this guy that I dated for a couple months, until I broke it off with him. I've never really had a relationship and I've never been in love, and I just suddenly got scared that it was moving too fast, so I chickened out. H...

A.   9 February 2013: You'll end up feeling used, which isn't nice and really isn't worth it. The problem is most of us follow our heart and not our head. Sounds like he is leading you on, he doesn't want a relationship with you, but it sounds like you do want a rela... (read in full...)

A.   3 February 2013: Well I'm 31 and despite some failed relationships I refuse to believe I will be single forever!! The problem with settling for men is it never works out long term. You will meet the right one whether its today or in 5 years time. And when it happens ... (read in full...)

A.   3 February 2013: Men enjoy pleasuring women so don't worry about that! Maybe get him to place his hand on yours and show you how he likes it. Men know their own penises better than anyone so he can show you how to make him cum. Maybe some lube to help? Or try re... (read in full...)

A.   2 February 2013: That's really harsh of him. I know everyone is suggesting you leave but I imagine from the nature of your question that would be hard? You may be concerned about where to go? But if what you want is marriage and he this is not what he wants then ... (read in full...)

A.   2 February 2013: You don't need to have a boyfriend just because everyone thinks its what you should do. It's ok to be single! Maybe your heart is waiting for the right person. I say give yourself a break, if you don't feel ready then you're not ready. When the time ... (read in full...)

A.   2 February 2013: Why would he? I don't know! But I do know I wouldn't want to go out with someone who had the potential to blow hot and cold like that. It would be a lot harder in a relationship! Maybe he has his own issues, let him sort them out himself. ... (read in full...)
