My boyfriend is uncircumcised and has never had any problems with this, despite the fact his foreskin doesn't fully retract, something I am assured is unusual. My current lover, on the other hand, is circumcised, and suspects that this could be why he can't reach orgasm during sex (something about desensitisation).

'My hair is shiny. How's your hair?'

Picture 1 - I want that red-headed kid's hair colour. So. Much. I feel a scalping coming on...

@queenhobart: My mother once read the inside of a birthday card that I left in my bedroom by accident - it was from a guy I'm sleeping with as part of the open relationship I have with my boyfriend of 2 years, who my mother would never tolerate my cheating on, even if it has been sanctioned by him. I had to tell her…

I live with my parents and, at the moment, my boyfriend has full custody of all my sex toys, racy books, pornography, contraceptives (apart from my pill) and novelty items (including a stress penis and a book of jokes about oral sex) - despite the fact that many of these things were bought by me, or jointly by us, or…

Cool, I'm a 'homie hopper'. Thanks, the internet.

Every comment appears to cry bullshit, but I didn't gain weight when I went on the pill. So who's right, bullshit-criers?

What, no Bulldog? The number of times that was banned when I was at school, and it was really just a game of tag played within an organised space.

@lucysnowe: Yeah, but I would've thought that the best people to take all of that stuff into account and make a decision based on reason and experience would've been impartial faculty members who may have encountered similar situations before - not a bunch of students who are probably going to be a biased and stupid…

I've read through a few of the comments and I still can't understand why he sent this e-mail to her classmates. If he'd just sent it to other faculty members because he was confused about the protocol (perhaps there was no precedent, which is unlikely but possible, I suppose), I'd get that - but her CLASSMATES?

Heh, I like how the assumption is that one's child is not going to be someone else's slutty friend...no, no, it'll be her friends who are the slutty sidekicks. Of course!

My boyfriend and I have an open relationship and are a-ok about one of us doing it (with other people, that is) in the bed we share when I stay at his - but rather sweetly, our 'special friends' find it bizarre and would rather pursue our liaisons at their homes, even if it's less convenient.

This could also be titled 'A List of Things that Terrify MySandwich's Parents'.

By the looks of that dog's eyes, it'll be returning from its home planet any day now.

Finally, Patti, we agree on a few things.

My driving instructor once said he wished he'd not lived with his wife before they married, because it meant that they had no new plans to look forward to after the honeymoon, so it was a bit of an anti-climax.

TBH, I assumed being 'in the closet' was about telling people you're NOT gay when you privately believe you are. He's never chosen to confirm or deny in public, and everyone should have the right to do that without repercussions from society.

I find that if I'm getting anxious about being able to talk to someone easily, a good remedy is to think about what an interesting, multifaceted person they are and brainstorm what you would love to find out about them. E.g. if you know what they do, think about what you know about that profession and ask about things…

Well, she sounds awesome to me. I hope she finds what she's looking for.

In my experience (of British GPs), doctors make the effort to deal with environmental/situation causes of sexual complaints and I doubt many would immediately hop on the drug treatment bandwagon before exploring other options.
