High infidelity
Three weeks ago I discovered that my husband was having a string of affairs...
Date Rape
I'm a 26-year-old woman and up until recently I've been denying to myself that my first two sexual experiences were very traumatic. The first time I had sex I was date raped, which I completely ignored until a year ago. The second time I was having sex with a friend who video taped us one night and shared it with his friends. I've began realize the impact of these two experiences on my relationships i.e. trust/commitment issues. I need to deal with it but I'm not sure where to start-can you help me? Thanks for your time.
Matriphony
Both my husband and I were students in your Human Sexuality class at KU. I've been desperately trying to come to terms with a secret I recently learned about my husband and was thrilled to discover that you sometimes answer questions about relationships on lawrence.com. My situation is two-fold...
Only fools rush in
My boyfriend and I have been together for two years now and we haven't had sex, but we've recently started talking about it. We already have a very sexual relationship and our communication and closeness grows with time. We are deeply committed to each other and are planning to marry in a year or so after graduation. Could you give us some guidance?
Getting out
...I'm still with him and coping with his bad moods, tantrums, hoping eventually he'll wake up and realize what he's doing. I need help to think straight to be able to get out of this relationship. I'm losing myself and I need HELP...
Jealousy and fear
One does not "get over" jealousy. What one does is work on one or more of the issues that precipitate the fear, which triggers the angry reactions that we call jealousy.
Cheating, cheater
I am curious to hear your opinion on cheating. My partner and I have been discussing what we feel encourages people to cheat. Both of us are intrigued by cheating and as rational human beings were trying to understand what prompts it. We pretty much agree that it has a lot to do with insecurity and/or a need to challenge social constructs or to engage in deviant behaviors. Do you have any other explanation for this behavior?Heather
Tides of desire
ust before my birthday this year I started to feel VERY good. I was no longer depressed - I felt almost too good. I couldn't seem to control the intensity of my desire - I wanted to have sex many times a day.
Moving too fast
I'm involved with someone that seems to be compatible with me. This compatibility has a good range, and I feel like we have a fairly open line of communication. We respect each other. I feel like we want the same things in life. I feel like I could share a future with this person, possibly even committing to something like marriage...
Sex, drugs and rocky family life
When I first started dating my boyfriend, he had a few problems with drugs. He had stopped doing them to my knowledge, but one night I found out he was on drugs and I freaked out because he promised me that he would rather have me than the drugs. I was so upset and out pf anger and stupidity I cheated on him with my ex.
The boyfriend and the fam
My boyfriend of almost a year does not get along very well with my parents and my brother (who I am very close with). Recently, my brother and my boyfriend had a fight which led to hitting and punching from both parties and a police report by my boyfriend. I love my family and boyfriend very much and don't want to lose any of them, but I feel like they all broke my heart and I'm completely caught in the middle because I'm either someone's daughter, sister, or girlfriend. Where can it go from here? I need some help.
"Touch" tone
Phone sex is a lot about fantasy, so the more creative and bold you are in your fantasies the better the experience is likely to be for you.
Jumping the fence
I need some advice. My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year. She and I have already had the sex talk, and she doesn't want to have sex until she's married. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me, is she in completely un-sexual...
Advice that's easy to swallow
I have a quick question - can one swallow too much semen?
23 years and no sex
I need some advice. I'm a middle-aged heterosexual male, and have trouble meeting and dating women. There's a serious issue of wanting sexual relations and not "getting any" for many, many years. In fact, and this is extremely embarrassing to me, I'm in my 40s and have had one sexual encounter in my lifetime, 23 years ago. And that happened only because I was drunk and it was the woman doing all the seducing. Also, I have a non-debilitating depression and anxiety issues.
Different strokes for different folks
I was watching Oprah and the subject matter was "suburban swingers." I was wondering what you think about this lifestyle. Do you think this is going to become more common and socially accepted? I still think it seems strange, but the people on the show were saying it really strengthens their marriage. What do you think?
Welcome to the challenge of INTIMATE relationships
I'm currently seeing a man so wonderful in so many ways it's amazing. We have a great friendship, but he doesn't seem comfortable telling me know how much I mean to him. We're both shy, which complicates things. I enjoy our relationship now, but I just want to know what kind of future we have, if any. What's the best way to go about that without saying something that could make him bolt?
Me love you long time
What do you have to say about the theory that sexual desire decreases over time with long-term association? Does sexual desire naturally decrease within long-term commitment?
Porn v. Erotica or 'I know it when I see it'
Dr. Dailey, I wanted to get your professional opinion on pornography. I am a male and have no real problem with it and enjoy it every once in a while. I have a female friend of mine that is extremely against pornography mainly because its portrayal of women and the act of watching other people have sex. This surprises me because she is a sexually active and open person. I wanted to see what your take on pornography is, can it be alright to enjoy alone or with your significant other?
Infidelity on the Internet
Why do men and women get involved in online dating services and explicit erotic internet sites? Well, the motivations vary, but almost all of these folks who are experiencing difficulties as a result of their online activities are seeking external affirmation that they are OK.
