*usan Strict's profile:

Writer and publisher of fiction, including books for children and young adults, science fiction, horror, mystery, and some strictly adult fantasy novels.

Married with three children, living south of London in the UK.

And what qualifies me to help people? Many things, I guess, but not least because I had many tempestuous (I like that word) relationships before I finally settled with my permanent partner and realised how fulfilling a long-term relationship can be.

Q.   Me and my gf had sex for the 1st time 2days ago and my balls have been hurting since is this normal? if so how long will it last? and can sti's be passed on to our kids when we have them if we have an sti?...

A.   19 May 2008: Right. It's not likely to be any sort of sti. The symptoms have appeared too quickly. If the pain has not lessened after two days, then you need to go see a doctor. What could it be? Well, there are several possibilities. One is that the pain... (read in full...)

I felt bad for not indulging his anal fantasies and that he also has erection problems

Q.   Okay, here's the thing...he has NO problems getting it up the first time. Actually, it's great sex. The second time, a while later...it's really hard to get him...well, hard. The only things that seem to turn him on is 69 or the idea of him doin...

A.   19 May 2008: There are lots of reasons why anal isn't a good idea - at least, not on a regular basis. Your back passage isn't designed for having things rammed up it. There is a greater risk of infections for both of you - and I'm not talking about the usua... (read in full...)

Can you explain sex?

Q.   I am wondering besides humping what is sex? I am only 11 years old so, do not make your answers that detailed or gross. Thanks if you answer nicely....

A.   18 May 2008: "The birds and the bees"? "The facts of life"? Sex has many names, and few of them come close to describing it. Neither, unfortunately, does most of the "sex education" at school or the explanations from many parents. There may be great deb... (read in full...)

We've been together for more than 10 years but I'm determined not to forgive his infidelity, what do you think?

Q.   I found out my husband had an affair a year and a half ago. The only reason it's over now is because the other woman ended it. The whole thing lasted about a month. He was angry that she hurt him, not sure if he tried to win her back or anyt...

A.   18 May 2008: There's only one question: was the relationship you had with him before you knew all of this worth having and worth fighting for? If so, then fight to regain it. If not, then let it go. Either way, move on and don't let it make the rest of ... (read in full...)

An advice please onow to cope from people who had casual encounters they later regretted?

Q.   OK I feel as though I need to explain myself or apologise before I even start as I dont want people to misjudge me. My bf and I are both models and even though our world is full of superficial people, I pride the fact that neither of us are like ...

A.   17 May 2008: As you say, we all make mistakes. The only real way out is to explain to the person involved that you are very sorry you made a mistake and there's no possibility of a future relationship. As you really want to avoid hurting her, this might be o... (read in full...)

Hay! This is a bit off-saddle for this site, but I need to stirrup some horse fans!

Q.   Hey I know this is a bit off topic for this site, but I need help on something. Does anyone on here horse ride?! Yes, it sounds weird to ask that, I know. But I started back in february and have just began to canter. Finding it awful! I just ge...

Are there no mature women interested in young guys?

Q.   I love mature women but I am young (16). Its hard when you know you probably can't have sex with an older woman at a young age. I just don't know what to do....

A.   17 May 2008: Wait a couple of years. There are plenty of more mature women who would be only too pleased to have a young lover. But there are a couple of things you really should consider: First, sex outside a loving and long-term relationship will NEVER b... (read in full...)

My friend likes a 30 year old... am I blind or is this not wrong?

Q.   I'm 17 and my friend is 16. We met this guy through an online game, he's 30 years old. I was the one that introduced him to her, little did I no that it would ever result in some sort of gross relationship. First of all, my friend is the most ...

A.   16 May 2008: Yes, you are overreacting. No, it's not wrong. So what's actually happened? You tell me that your friend has made a friend who happens to be much older than her. So what? Of course anyone needs to be careful when meeting someone for the ... (read in full...)

I'm in a hole and can't see which way to go!!

A.   16 May 2008: I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. Your problem is that you need him to see that, but from your reply I would guess that the problems are more deeply rooted than simply the hours he works and the job he is doing. As I see it, it's... (read in full...)

A.   16 May 2008: You need to sort out what is most important in your lives. If he is working those sort of hours, then his job must be important to him - and maybe to you too if it is paying the money you both need. You say you are considering movi... (read in full...)

Am I in love or should I just move on?

Q.   How do you know when your in love with someone? I am 16 and I've liked this guy for ages, about a year at least. He used to like me but we were both shy and weren't sure who should make the first step. He was really nice to me and I couldn't stop ...

A.   15 May 2008: Move on. Not because you don't love him, but because he didn't treat you with the respect you deserve - the respect that any girl or any woman deserves. Love is complex. There are few people who only ever have one love in their lives. Yo... (read in full...)

A.   15 May 2008: No you're not too old to have a crush, and you shouldn't feel guilty about it - not as long as you recognise it for what it is. Like Emivia says, it's lust. A year is quite a long time for something like that to last, but maybe that's because ... (read in full...)

A.   15 May 2008: You've been together 5 years so you knew he smoked when you started. He won't see it as reasonable for you to insist that he stops now - and anyway, no one gives up smoking unless they really want to. To have you pushing him to do it when it's not ... (read in full...)

If I want to look at porn, I have a right, right?

Q.   My girlfriend found porn on the computer yesterday that we share. I accidentally left the history up and she looked through it and saw what I had been looking at. I told her I was bored and those websites were in the magazine I was reading so I ...

A.   15 May 2008: The deal is that firstly you lied to her and then you broke your promise to her. Are you surprised she's annoyed with you? Porn, and erotica, is about sex. It's as simple as that. And sex is an intimate thing between loving partners. I don't ... (read in full...)

I got married twice but I never got divorced

Q.   I have made a terrible mistake. I got married in Jamaica 18 years ago. We broke up about 6 months later and neither of us bothered getting divorced because it was in a foreign country and we thought we'd never get found out. I met a new man and we ...

A.   15 May 2008: You probably need a new lawyer who specialises in this. Check out the Law Society's web site and then phone a few of them. Bigamy is criminal, although prosecutions are rare. Whether or not your second marriage was legal, you are entitled... (read in full...)

A.   15 May 2008: It's "as fast as you both find comfortable". But do consider carefully how far you really want to go. Sex and physical intimacy, is very, very much better between two people to know each other well and love each other deeply. I don't think th... (read in full...)

Everything about my boyfriend annoys me, but I still really care about him.

Q.   I've been dating this guy for about 2 months now, and lately it seems like everything he does annoys me. I get annoyed by the way he drives, when he doesn't listen to me, when he lies to me, and even when we are cuddling he annoys me. I really like ...

A.   14 May 2008: Ask yourself whether he has changed or whether it's your attitude to him that has changed. The first few months (sometimes longer) of physical and emotional attraction in a relationship very often make you blind to the reality. Now the flame is... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2008: Perfectly normal. It's often far easier to visualise sex that way. I'm most definitely heterosexual, but I can see the sexiness of other women and imagine it were me being that sexy, if you see what I mean (it's difficult to describe, and I do... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2008: Very judgmental, Jitter Cakes? You should start by asking her about the writing. If she has an over-active imagination, like me, then writing may be a wonderful way to get it out of her system without being unfaithful. What does she do with the ... (read in full...)
