Re: horrible kissing, I like the three strikes method. My current long-term partner is a guy who used to kiss like a statue, lips pulled tight with anxiety, no motion, etc. So I kinda had to coach him on it. I hope your partner is open to learning; if not, yeah, there needs to be a serious talk.

Kissing is the gateway to sex, if you ask me. If I meet a guy who is a great kisser, my panties are coming off for sure!

Just went and saw an ex a few days ago and while we still feel for each other I finally decided that we should go nuclear on our communications.

She was real fun and could geek/nerd out as much as dress up and go out for a night on the town which was exactly what I want. But where we are in our lives, me being older…

Strike three means that make-outs come to a screeching halt and it's time to have a come-to-Jesus talk about his kissing style. Because frankly, if he's not listened when you've tried to guide him gently - twice - then it's time to give him a session with the Chair Leg of Truth and his feelings will have to look after…

the last letter was super true. Also I wish my spouse would kiss me more. Biting or not

On the one hand, there's absolutely nothing wrong with spending your life sans a significant other. That's me. I have zero interest in it anymore (I believe the term is aromantic). However, I've chosen that because I'm happier this way. It almost sounds like the second letter writer is deliberately staying single to…

I've found that kissing could be a lot like dancing, if you find a way to lead, you can actually set the pace, (amount of tongue or biting, etc.). Now, after years in a relationship, finding a way to lead can be difficult, mainly because kissing in a particular way becomes a habit, and you know, old habits die hard.…

I want to know your opinion on this. I don't really have a dilemma, I got this pretty much sorted out for myself. I either end up with her, or a girl I love as much as her (which I find unlikely) or just simply alone (which I'm honestly absolutely fine with). I just wanted to know what's your take on this. Ever…

Is this a reaction to the prominent discussion over on Jez yesterday about how we really, really ought to find an alternative to "spirit animal?" Because I am super into both calling someone a patronus and Dan Savage being the official one for NerdLove.

He's pretty amazing. I spent an entire summer internship reading his back catalogue on thestranger.com in the late 90's and have followed him since. Probably hurt my career prospects, but it has made my romantic relationships infinitely better. You win some, you lose some.

Is it horrible that I heard "obituary editor" and thought "ooh, I wonder what all that entails!"

It's at this point I'd likely argue that just because you're not relating to it that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of people out there that do - is it because you have an issue you want responded to by the doctor or because you think the topics chosen are too extreme to be relevant to a wide audience? I'd say this…

Are you joking? It's a job that no one has ever heard of, highly unique. All sorts of interesting history pops up in those.

Look man, I'm just trying to be a normal guy and FIT IN!

I think it's called, "Oaite."

I've been in that situation, SiS, and let me tell you, it's not easy. I didn't have anywhere to go, and on top of that, my girlfriend was pregnant, so I REALLY didn't want to break up, so we didn't. I stayed in my sexless relationship with a woman that denied and denigrated my sexuality constantly, and inertia…
