Sex

My boyfriend and I met online to explore our kinks. We’d both been in relationships with kink-shaming people who really screwed with our heads. So since we weren’t thinking it was more that a hookup we put all our baggage on the table early and wound up becoming friends. Eventually we realized we had a […]

My girlfriend have been together for a little over five years. We are very happy together, the sex is great, and we own a home together. For the past year we’ve also been practicing an open relationship. Overall it’s been good for our us, both individually and as a couple. Sure, a few moments of […]

A close female friend was raped by an old acquaintance of mine. (I am male.) I knew this guy when we were tweens, I didn’t really care for him as we got older, so it goes. Turns out a few years ago he raped my friend in a blackout alcohol situation. I don’t know more […]

Healthy straight male here. The problem is twofold: My girlfriend doesn’t like come in her mouth and she feels that doggy-style is objectifying to women. Therefore, we don’t do either. She says she wants to get more comfortable and try these things. But they never seem to happen-and when I bring them up, it turns […]

I’m a straight, poly, kinky male. Having a poly issue I hope you can help with. I have 3 partners, one I have been with for 15 years, another I have been with for 3 years and one I have been with for about 3 months. The latter two make up the crux of my […]

What’s the right way to break up with someone you have been seeing for 1.5 years these days? I was in a six-year relationship, and when I got out of it I was the definition of emotionally unavailable. I have maintained communication about that throughout, but I now find myself having been seeing someone 2-3 […]

I’m a 41-year-old straight-identified woman. I’m SO LONELY and I can’t live like this anymore. I’m shy, awkward, emotionally inhibited, and extremely averse to being vulnerable. Most of my “romantic” life has consisted of one-night stands and casual dating. Until I met “Ryan.” I fell hard for this guy in a way that I didn’t […]

I don’t consider myself a hypersexual person but I do want a sexual relationship. My current boyfriend I have been with for about eight years and I love him deeply. He is my best friend. But he hasn’t been in the mood for any sexual encounters (including just making out) for over a year. It […]

My girlfriend and I are both avid listeners of your podcast. Admittedly, I am always a few episodes behind her because I have a fairly demanding work schedule, but it’s great to hear your thoughts on sex and intimacy issues. I had to email rather than call because she would definitely recognize my voice if […]
