Q:
ive been with my boyfriend two years and our sex life is non existant due to me. It was fine before i got pregnant with my son over a year ago but now im never in the mood and i only do it to stop him bothering me.
I love him and prefer cuddles and spending time with him than anything else. He has a very high sex drive and wants it all the time, but he never gets me in the mood and theres no fore play its just sex!
I dont kno how or what to do to get me in the mood or how to get back to the way i was. Please help im only 21.

First of all, stop ..... stop ..... having sex just to please your boyfriend! You come first. The way he's behaving is doing nothing for your self esteem.  His needs do not over shadow yours, my God, you've just nurtured a new life for nine months and have brought it into this world ....you are amazing! Your boyfriend needs to stop thinking he has a God given right to demand sex just because he wants it. Tell him that you do not want sex at the moment, but would love a cuddle. You don't want to get yourself in the mood, that's his job! Tell him you want to be wooed, romanced and turned on!  You are going through what every woman on this planet goes through who has just given birth. Give yourself time, love and lots of pampering.

Good luck sweetie x.
Q:
I wish I had more romance and passion on my relationship. Could a couple last long if there was never romance in it, you know like he actually going after me and trying his hardest to keep me. I think I missed that in my relationship.

I want romance, passion, and intensity. I want him to surprise me, treat me and love me? I feel sometimes like something is missing in our relationship.....I love him deeply but not sure he does, how could i know for sure?
Polly Russell-Furse agony aunt
Unless you are him, my love, you never will know for sure! All you will know is what he wants you to know. Look at the way he behaves around you, why do you think he doesn't love you?  However, some guys are just not the romantic type ....is he a Capricorn, they have real problems with showing their romantic side!  You say you want romance, passion and intensity; you want him to surprise and treat you to prove he loves you; this to me, sounds like you need a good old dose of self-esteem. When two people love each other they shouldn't have to prove anything to the other, they should just be allowed to be themselves ....shouldn't they? Question yourself, why do you need such gestures and go from there. 

Good luck sweetie x.
Q:
My brother is 15 years old and my mum has let my cousin and his wife live with them in his room "for a little bit.” for the second time this year. But it is a 3 bed roomed house, my mum in one of the big rooms. My 18-year-old brother in the small room and My 15 years old brother is in the other big room with my cousin and his wife. That was 4 almost 5 months ago. Its now got to the point where he has started getting moody and sneaking in to my other brothers room and gets very moody or starts a fight if/when he is told to get out by him.

I don’t know what to do I have talked to mum but she says everything is ok.

I'm now thinking of going to social services or the NSPCC and reporting mum, anonymous of course. But know if there’s any think they can do.

HELP PLEASE.

Thanks

All very strange isn't is? Why would you mother put a couple in a 15 year old's room! How bazzar! He is just finding out about himself and now has to share his secrets with this couple, who also have their own needs! You must get your mum to understand the situation... why doesn't she give up her bedroom and sleep on the couch, she sounds quite selfish.  If she doesn't listen to you then speak to your brother and see what he thinks should happen and then sit down and talk to her together. You will have to MAKE her listen! One thing is clear, your brother needs to gain his privcy back right away!
Keep me updated. Good luck sweetie x.

Q:
 
I am a 22 yr old female and have been with my current boyfriend for about three months now; we have known each other for about six though. We have a great relationship that is fun and spontaneous. Our sex life is great and adventerous.

My problem is that I don't seem to have orgasms often. The few other men that I have been with I had the same outcome. And it doesn't seem to be a matter of that it is lousy sex. It is great, great sex. I am certainly having a fabulous time and couldn't really say that there is anything wrong with what he is doing as it always feels really good, I just never seem to hit that 'peak'. Is this normal? I have not told him about this as I feel it would hurt his feelings (and ego).

I feel that this is something that is wrong I my part. I don't know if I have this problem because I've never really 'done it' to myself so perhaps I don't know exactly what I like? I am not sure here. Also, I have orgasmed, but I feel like it should be happening more often. It seems to be that it just feels really, really good and just stays like that. Is there something that I can do to change this?

Welcome to the world of womandom! It's nornal don't worry, our men need to work much harder on us if we are to enjoy the all important orgasm.  I would suggest you have a bit of a girlie lone time, find out what stimulates and arouses the delicate senses of your virgina.  When you find this out, you can then share this with your partner and have some fun!  If he can't be bothered to spend time on you ensuring you reach an orgasm, then don't bring him to one .....it works both ways and would be an excellent wake up call for him!
 
Go, have fun and don't forget the condoms!

Q:
 
I'm a seventeen year old girl, and I consider myself bisexual, even though I've never actually been in a relationship with another girl. Only my closest friends know about my sexuality. I have to tell a little bit of a backstory to get people to understand my POV.
 
Last year around this time of year, I confided in another girl on my basketball team that I was bi, and I had a crush on another girl on the team (I'll call her 'Mary'). Well. A week later, the entire team knew, (because the teammate I confided in blabbed on me... my fault for trusting her) and I had my heart crushed because 'Mary' told me she was straight, and there was nothing she could do to change that. Because of the tension between me and Mary the rest of the season, my basketball team went through a really rough time--tons of drama and things like that. We're okay now... but 'Mary' isn't my problem anymore.

It's a new season, I'm a senior captain, and my team is amazing now, because we have this new girl who just transferred to our school, I'll call her 'Katie'. I've only started talking to Katie a couple weeks ago when our season started. She has the best laugh, and my heart jumps when she passes by me in the halls.... she's really touchy-feeling on the court with me, but maybe I'm just mistaking her aggressiveness for possible flirting... I don't know. I had a dream last night that she kissed me and I was so happy. I wanted it to be real life.... but I have the feeling I've just fallen for another straight girl again.

I can't screw up this season again like last year, just because I've started to like Katie. No one knows about this, because really, I don't have any real friends to talk to about it, which is why I've resorted to asking this question online.

So my question: Do I risk another year of drama and tension for the 0.01% chance Katie could like me back?Polly Russell-Furse agony aunt
 
Well, firstly, you can't make someone like you, they either do or they don't.  Secondly, yes, I would concentrate on this season's game as no point in losing out to both!  'Katie' could just be a tactile person, you should not look on this as flirtation.  I am assuming that the girls in your team this season are some of the same ones that played in your team last season. If so, she might already know that you are bisexual. However, you need to concentrate on the game. After the game, start up a conversation with her. Ask her if she has a boyfriend, if she says no, then tell her that you too are single and that you haven't go a boyfriend or a girlfriend.... that should get the message across to her! Take it from there.

Good luck sweetie x.
