If you've had a platonic relationship between a woman and a man how did you manage to do it?
Q. I'm a 25 year old married woman who has trouble making friends. I don't relate to other women well, so I turn to men for friendship. It isn't a case of just having more in common with men, either. There is something I can't put my finger on bet...
A. 23 July 2014: Men do like to have female friends as they can often be themselves more in female company. Single men might more easily fall in love with you and non-single men might often have jealous partners. I think it's important to send out the platonic... (read in full...)
Newlyweds and embarrassment of dealing with hair "down there"
Q. How do newlyweds deal with hair "down there"? I mean, doesn't it get uncomfortable with the roughness of hair growing back or the embarrassment of ingrown hairs? I'm getting married soon and have never been intimate with anyone before. I'm anxious ...
A. 20 July 2014: If you have strong hair it will be very uncomfortable to constantly remove it and if you get ingrown hairs perhaps you should not do this.
The hair will be softer and smoother if it is slightly longer (just over one centimetre more or less). T... (read in full...)
Why does this keep happening? It's not fair!
Q. Lately I've been frustrated and annoyed because I'm tired of careless friends and acquaintances standing me up. Why do people do this? One of my male friends agreed to go out with me and see a band in the city last weekend (he lives near the ...
A. 10 July 2014: You need to make these people aware about how they've inconvenienced you.
In the first example you could have said "If I'd known you weren't that keen on coming I would have asked someone else: now it's too late" - if his reaction to this was... (read in full...)
Attracted to women 98% of the time. Am I bi-sexual for other 2% of the time? Implications to consider?
Q. OK, so I'm 24 and this question's about sexuality. I'm attracted to women, would say about 95-98% probably, but for me it would take a mostly exceptional man in terms of personality, looks etc. for me to go out with him, but would this make me bisex...
A. 3 July 2014: A lot of people don't understand sexuality and simply categorise it into straight / gay / bisexual when in reality it's more fluid than that.
Marriage or 'wedlock' (considered by many to be incompatible with the modern lifestyle) insists that we ... (read in full...)
How is it possible to have an attraction to someone who doesn't attract you physically & mentally?

A. 3 July 2014: It seems that you are attracted to him on a human level - you feel there's something that might complement your personality.

My husband is masturbating ALL the time!
Q. My husband is masturbating ALL the time. He does it 3-4 times a day during the work week and more on weekends. We will just be sitting there enjoying a movie and I'll look over and he's doing it. We have sex regularly. We've had it four times this ...
A. 14 June 2014: Most young men masturbate about once a day if they can't have sex. It's not normal to masturbate this often and it has certainly become a problem because it's interfering with his normal life. He seems to be anxious and finds release in this ... (read in full...)
What should I ask for as an entry level salary?
Q. I'm graduating from college soon and applying to starting positions like Sales Coordinator, Executive Assistant, etc. I don't mind my first job not being ideal; I just want to gain experience and look better on paper. I have only worked in food ...
A. 12 June 2014: I don't know where you live so it's difficult to know what salary you should be asking for. A good starting point is to look at similar positions advertised on job websites and then suggest an average salary for your role. You could call a few ... (read in full...)

How to say goodbye to my best friend of 7 years?
Q. Hello everyone, My best friend of over 7 years is going to leave the country and go live in the states to pursue the career that she has always wanted. She leaves in exactly 3 weeks. I want to do something special for her before she leave...
A. 4 June 2014: If she's leaving the country she won't really have space to take gift items. Perhaps there are places near where you live which have chocolate tasting or chocolate making sessions? Otherwise, you could take her for afternoon tea at a five star h... (read in full...)
Nothing turns me on
Q. Why can't I get turned on by anything? I have a bullet vibrator and I don't get any reaction. I watch some porn of different varieties and I don't get turned on. I haven't been turned on masturbating or with any of my boyfriends. The doctors say ...
A. 21 May 2014: This advice probably won't have much practical value, but I think you should stop trying. It might be that the stress of how you should or shouldn't be feeling is affecting your natural reactions. Or it might be that you're just going through a ... (read in full...)
Can we move from FWB to something more?
Q. This question is probably directed more towards the guys. I am pretty sure I already know my answer but I need a second opinion. Here it goes. I've known this guy for about 3 years now. We have been more of a friends with benefits situation since ...
A. 21 May 2014: We can't help falling in love and it's very difficult to change our feelings. You might want to schedule some time away together. If it goes well you could say something like "we should do this kind of thing more often". Give it some time to see if ... (read in full...)
