			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I am struggling with something. I consider myself a straight male. I only ever catch myself looking at women, and quite frequently at that. I find, though, that I have a hard time keeping hard in regular sex. I didn&#8217;t really have successful sex until about three years ago, partially due to confidence but I also think that there is a part of me that just isn&#8217;t quite as intrigued by regular vaginal sex. I have watched porn for a long time and have gravitated to anal and transsexual porn. I only want to watch beautiful women, whether they be actual women or trannys, and like to see the men give it and take it from them. I also have secretly enjoyed dressing as a woman when I masturbate. It&#8217;s a purely sexual thing, I don&#8217;t identify as a woman at all. I&#8217;m okay with this for the most part. </p>
<p>Eventually I might share all this with my wife/girlfriend but there in lies the problem. I am a good looking guy and I get a fair amount of attention from women, and I really want to take advantage of it. I want to be able to frivolously have sex with a woman without having to do her in the ass, have her do me in the ass, or have me dressed as a woman. I want to be able to turn myself on more by traditional penis in vagina sex. I fear this is going to impede my hunt for finding the right girl for me as I have to have this giant disclaimer first. I am seriously fine with having these desires stored in me and will use them when I feel comfortable with bringing them out, but what I want most is to be able to just date and have sex with regular women and still feel satisfied. Any help would be great.<br />
<span id="more-304"></span><br />
<strong>A:</strong> Here are a few suggestions: </p>
<p>- Find some penis-vagina porn that turns you on and excites you.  If you do this, you could save this in your memory bank to use for masturbation or while having sex and it can be exciting rather than just that thing that doesn&#8217;t turn you on.</p>
<p>- Do not masturbate a few days prior to having sex. This can help you maintain an erection for a longer period of time.  Using a cock-ring  could work too since it restricts blood flow to the penis and keeps the erection harder longer.  We recommend one made of rubber, velcro or one that snaps so that it is easy to remove if you need to. </p>
<p>- Try using a different method for penis-vagina sex by giving a hand-job, blow-job or using a sex toy.  </p>
<p>- Find like-minded people on websites, like<a href="http://www.alt.com"> alt.com</a> or <a href="http://www.okcupid.com">okcupid.com</a>, who are interested in anal sex, even anal and transsexual porn.</p>
<p>Sometimes sex is just about having sex.  It doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean having perfect sex all the time.  Every sexual experience does not need to be a perfect 10. If you walk into a potential sexual experience knowing that it can be good, but not necessarily great, it might help you to feel more comfortable and aroused by the activities that you do end up having. You can definitely be OK and satisfied with having &#8220;regular&#8221; sex, but it is something that might not ever be equally enjoyable to you as some of the other activities you engage in.  </p>
<p>Some women are into anal sex too.  Other women may not be into penis-vagina sex at all.  There are all sorts of potential partners out there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> How do I communicate with my partner about spanking? I want to try it with him, but I don&#8217;t know how to bring up BDSM topics with sexual partners. </p>
<p><strong>A: </strong> There are several ways you can bring up the topic. For instance, it might be helpful to playfully bring up the subject during a neutral conversation moment so not to put pressure on him during your time being sexual. You could say something like, &#8220;Sweetie, let&#8217;s talk about sex and ways we can maybe spice things up.&#8221; Or, you could ask him if he has any sexual fantasies that he would be willing to share with you to get a sense of whether this might be something he is interested in and hasn&#8217;t known how to bring it up with you. Even if he doesn&#8217;t have that specific fantasy, it would be a good lead in for you to share about having a fantasy about spanking. </p>
<p>As another alternative, you could rent a movie containing the subject (&#8221;<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274812/">The Secretary</a>&#8221; is a good Hollywood movie) and have a discussion about it afterwards, asking your partner what he thought, and if he might want to try something like that.</p>
<p>There are also plenty of rentable adult films that deal with spanking. You can look online at places like bluedoor.com (kind of like a Netflix for porn). And there are instructional type videos such as &#8220;Nina Hartley&#8217;s Guide to Spanking,&#8221; and other DVDs on Amazon.com (search for &#8220;spanking DVDs&#8221;).<br />
<span id="more-293"></span><br />
In looking around on the web, here&#8217;s an <a href="http://www.spankingblog.com/"> interesting blog</a> about spanking. Perhaps you can share some of this with him, or make it a topic of discussion.</p>
<p>There is <a href="http://www.askmen.com/dating/vanessa_100/124_love_secrets.html">another article</a> about men spanking women written by Dr. Victoria Zdrok that you might show him if you are interested in him spanking you. If you are interested in spanking him, you might want to both check out <a href="http://www.womenwhospankmen.com/FreeArticles/SpankYourMan.html">Spank Your Man</a>.</p>
<p>If he is interested in the spanking, you might want to take it slowly with the spanker spanking the spankee&#8217;s bottom and the spankee saying a number between 1 and 10 to communicate intensity. That way, the spanker can get a sense of connecting how s/he swats with the spankee&#8217;s experience.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I have a spanking fetish, and I desperately want to overcome it.  I am not entirely sure what the fetish is caused by, but I have always fantasized about it for as long as I can remember &#8211; probably since I was about three years old.  (Seriously.)  I am a self-confident person, but this is my Achilles heel, a secret that makes me feel shameful and repressed.</p>
<p>Of course I want to act upon my desire, but my desire to be wholly normal &#8211; and confident in my sexuality, I think &#8211; is stronger.  I am white, and I&#8217;ve noticed that my fetish is really only common in other white people.  My boyfriend is not white and not kinky.  I love him and I don&#8217;t want to make him feel estranged.</p>
<p>Please do not try to reassure me that my fetish is normal or okay.  I really want it gone. I would greatly appreciate any advice or insight you can give me.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Thank you for your very interesting question. As you have specifically requested, we will not reassure you that your fetish is normal or okay, as it obviously is not for you. We can say that it is very normal not to be comfortable or okay with your fetishes. In fact, a big part of the attraction to most fetishes is that they are taboo in the first place and that adds to the excitement of acting them out.</p>
<p>As a source of information related to sex we are often asked questions about all varieties of fetishes but usually we are asked for resources for the questioner who wants to delve deeper into their particular fetish. In your case there is not much that we can tell you unless you want to learn more about the fetish of spanking to see what it is about this fetish that you find troubling.</p>
<p>If on the other hand you simply want to overcome this fetish that would be a task we would defer to professional counselors or therapist who specialize in CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) or other therapies that are designed to help people overcome behaviors or aspects of their characters they wish to change.</p>
<p>In case you want take this route and would like some referrals we suggest you might try AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists) at <a href="http://www.aasect.org">www.aasect.org</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I have a question about an unusual, taboo sex act and I wasn&#8217;t sure who to ask. I have not engaged in this practice, but am curious about it. Is blood drinking considered a high risk sexual activity? I read somewhere that it is actually quite difficult to contract HIV that way because the acid in your stomach kills the virus, and that the only danger would be if one had open cuts or sores in the mouth. Is that true? Do piercings (i.e. Tongue, lip) count as an &#8220;open wound&#8221;? And if you can&#8217;t get HIV, can you get other diseases? Basically in a nutshell I am asking whether this would be classified as a high risk activity or if it is relatively safe? </p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> We know that some people drink blood directly from the body and some people drink blood that has been previously drawn. The risk of each may vary.</p>
<p>If it is your own blood there is no risk.  However, if it is someone else&#8217;s blood than there is a risk and, if you are unsure of their status, that risk is higher.</p>
<p>The diseases that are of most concern would be HIV and Hepatitis B &#038; C and there are lesser but varying risks for other STDs.</p>
<p>HIV is known as a dangerous virus but it is also a fairly fragile virus.  If the blood was directly from the person it would be a higher risk if you have small cuts in your mouth, possibly from brushing or flossing your teeth, that you may be unaware of.  It may also get into small cuts that are on your lips or hands if the blood gets in contact with those areas. If the blood was previously drawn and exposed to air for a period of time or stored refrigerated the risk would be reduced as the HIV virus would be less likely to survive in either environment.  In addition the HIV virus does not survive long when it comes in contact with either saliva or the digestive acids in the stomach</p>
<p>The Hepatitis virus however is much more resilient and can survive much longer than the HIV virus. For this reason there is a high risk of contracting Hepatitis if you were exposed to and drink blood that was contaminated. There are vaccines for Hepatitis A &#038; B you can get for protection.</p>
<p>Piercings, if they have healed, are not considered open wounds. They do however provide an area that is at increased risk for irritations and those irritations may allow a virus or disease to enter the body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I like to watch porn.  Not most of it (I&#8217;m pretty picky) and not obsessively. As you can see I feel the need to defend my porn watching even to you!  I do get decent doses of smut and I&#8217;m happy with that.  My question is, does consistent porn consumption lead to the need for progressively more hardcore/shocking stuff?  I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ve heard this theory supported in main stream media and my first instinct is to be skeptical, but you know, I have no data either way so I&#8217;m not really sure.  What prompted this was my visit to Kink.com&#8217;s new site PublicDisgrace.com. I liked what I saw, but then my nervous worrier side took over and made me wonder whether this wasn&#8217;t a bad sign for how my porn habits might be trending. </p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> There is no proof of an increase need for shock or hardcore porn with continued viewing. It is true that some people enjoy a new angle or theme to their porn over time. However, many people keep watching the same basic stuff over and over and never look for something different. It really is a matter of personal preference. We can&#8217;t say if you are in a trend. You may have finally found your ideal porn and be happy watching the PublicDisgrace.com stuff as it comes out. Only you can know for sure.</p>
<p>What does your worrier side worry about, specifically? That you have a porn addiction? That you will have a desire to act out fantasies in real life? If you feel that it is actually becoming a problem for you we suggest seeing a sex therapist. Please <a href="http://sfsi.org/wiki/E-Mail_Us">email us</a> for references or if you have more questions about this topic. But if your concern is that porn viewing is a &#8220;slippery-slope&#8221; towards hardcore kink you can stop worrying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I am a lesbian in my late-20s. It&#8217;s been 12 years since I was introduced to the first fetish of my life i.e Ass Play. Gradually I&#8217;ve got more nasty and dirty. I feel weird when I say am into shit play but it gives me immense pleasure and a heavy orgasm. Am only into rubbing and watching it come out in the mirror nothing else. Do you think am sick? Or is it normal? I rub it only on my breasts and ass but one thought really excites me, is it safe if i rub it on my pussy?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> While shit play (a.k.a. copraphilia) may not be the most common fetish, there are certainly other people who enjoy it, and there is nothing wrong with it as long as you are being safe, sane, and consensual if you play with any partners.</p>
<p>However, we recommend that you don&#8217;t rub it on your pussy.  Fecal matter contains many different types of bacteria and microorganisms which cause vaginal infections. You might consider using some type of protective barrier, such as a dental dam or saran wrap.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I&#8217;m a married man in my 20s and I love my wife very deeply. I have a strange fetish that I have some questions about though. Before we have sex I like for my wife to talk to me about her past sexual experiences.  I love my wife and wouldn&#8217;t give her up for anything in the world, but there is something about picturing her being pleased by another man that just drives me wild. Is this normal? Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Enjoying this activity with your wife is a completely normal thing to do.  Many have often asked, and having this fantasy is completely normal.  We&#8217;re sure there are many men who think about their girlfriend/wives having sex with other men while they watch.  There is nothing wrong with it.  People like fantasies and there&#8217;s nothing wrong with fantasies and imagination during sex.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I would like to know if you could help me overcome an unusual fetish that I have.</p>
<p>My fetish&#8217;s accepted name is been Wet and Messy fetish. It is featured on sex websites that I&#8217;ve been visiting since I got the Internet at age 13. Now I&#8217;ve been to many sites seeing how I can stop this fetish of mine. It&#8217;s one that I no longer want to practice with my partners because I feel it damages the relationship a bit. Personally, I cannot stop watching videos containing females getting, slimed, pied, food fights and so on. I feel maybe it seemed from the extensive amounts of Nickelodeon that I watched as a kid. Regardless that is not helping me solve the problem&#8230; </p>
<p>Recently, I&#8217;ve been visiting pay sites and various videos on YouTube, not necessarily sexually related, just ones featuring women. I watch them any chance I can get. As far as the pay sites, I have spent over 300 dollars on videos that I&#8217;ve in turn deleted in hopes of curtailing by viewing.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, I have had partners that have partaken and enjoyed this with me, however I feel it is costly and I&#8217;m starting to have to conserve food as it is because expenses are getting tight.</p>
<p>Can you help?<br />
<span id="more-63"></span><br />
<strong>A: </strong>It sounds like your fetish is a lovely interest that is causing you some discomfort in your life, via financial matters. We can certainly suggest some strategies for you to approach your situation, although we cannot help you to overcome it per se. </p>
<p>It seems like you are ok with the fetish itself, but worried about how much money or time it is taking out to engage in it. Perhaps you are also worried about the lack of control or obsession that is taking over your life. So, you would like to scale down on your fascination with your fetish.</p>
<p>Of course, the first thing we can recommend is &#8211; try to minimize your spending and video watching. Learn what your triggers are, learn how to cope with your obsessions and impulsive behavior.  Change your routine or dedicate only certain hours of the day, or certain days, to engage in your fetish, thus adding an element of structure to the affair.</p>
<p>If you have troubles withdrawing by yourself, you can try to attend <a href="http://www.slaafws.org">Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous </a>, or other support groups, to learn how other people cope with their addictive behaviors. The plus of going to a 12 step group is that it&#8217;s a non judgmental supportive community, and it is a common thing for people to call each other when they feel triggered to engage in the behavior that they try to reduce.</p>
<p>You could also try to find an affordable therapist who specializes in sex education. <a href="http://www.aasect.org ">AASECT</a> is a national association of sex therapists who might give you a referral for a practitioner in your area.</p>
<p>There is a high chance that if you try to place personal ads on www.craigslist.org or personal papers there will be a willing soul or two to engage in your fetish with you. This will reduce your spending on videos, and will also take it outside the context of long term relationships.</p>
<p>We hope that these suggestions are helpful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I have a question about &#8220;normal&#8221; sex fantasies.  I am married happily (10 years).  During that time I have had the recurring fantasy during sex and masturbation about watching my wife have sex with another man. Variety of places, positions, etc, and no one specific.  I have told her about this and she wondered why. I don&#8217;t know what to tell her, but we did get the Ethical Slut book for more info about this sort of stuff.  My first question is why do I want this to happen?  During sex we talk about this and it gets hot, but why?</p>
<p>Recently my wife met a guy that she is apparently attracted to. She told me that if she were to fuck someone in front of me, it would be him. Is this just cheating on her part?  Can couples have this sort of relationship (I am not interested in having other women)?  Is there a name for this?  If we go ahead and she does make love with this other guy, are there any ways to deal with jealousy that may pop up?</p>
<p><strong>A: </strong>Many people enjoy bringing another person into their relationship for a variety of reasons. It&#8217;s definitely best to be honest about your feelings on the subject together and work out some agreements around how this might happen for you. A discussion of capabilities, fantasies, and boundaries along the lines of what is suggested in The Ethical Slut would be a great idea!</p>
<p>Like you, some folks start out initially only wanting sex, and then this may or may not develop into an emotional connection. The danger here of course, is that while you, for example, may want it to remain purely sexual, your wife may develop feelings for her friend, and this difference in desires could cause tension in your marriage.</p>
<p>As for the reasons behind your fantasy, there are some theories from evolutionary psychology and human anthropology which suggest that perceived competition increases desire amongst both men and women. For example, sperm count increases dramatically for men who are away from their spouse for a few days.</p>
<p>While many married couples find it fun to play with this dynamic with another man, the risk is of course that the play may turn into a very real competition over your wife. It might be best to seek out men who have had successful experiences as &#8220;secondary&#8221; partners and are specifically not interested in challenging the primacy of your marriage.</p>
<p>Some couples find that after developing a sexual relationship with a third partner, they develop feeling for this person and move into wanting to incorporate this third person into their lives in a more comprehensive way. Others prefer to keep it in the purely sexual realm. Time and experience will reveal what the three of you truly desire together.</p>
<p>Be prepared to shop around for the right guy. As with any kind of dating, you might have to interview or even date several potential partners before finding the right fit.</p>
<p>For a discussion of topics such as these, especially regarding your question about handling jealousy in polyamorous relationships, you might go looking for a community locally or online. There are many Polyamory resources to be found on the Internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q:</strong> I am looking for Ageplay munches and parties in the Bay Area. I am looking for a female partner in diapers.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> As far as we know, there are no specific munches for age play only, but there are lots of munches in the Bay Area catering to kinky and other sexual folks.</p>
<p>A great place to find a list of these in the Bay Area is at the <a href="http://www.soj.org">Society of Janus website</a> calendar. </p>
<p>There is also a group that has roots in the Bay Area called <a href="http://www.dpf.com">Diaper Pail Friends</a>. They have a website full of information, and there are personals and party announcements. In a quick glance, we found a good number of activities based in the Bay Area. </p>
<p>Another online resource that might have groups would be <a href="http://www.tribe.net">tribe.net</a>. A good number of the members are in the Bay Area (it was started here) and in a quick search, we found 37 groups, although not all of them were adult. </p>
<p>Finally, <a href="http://www.craigslist.org">Craigslist.org</a> is a direct resource for looking for folks into age play. Look under the &#8220;Casual encounters&#8221; for a start. Or even &#8220;Men looking for women.&#8221;</p>
