Dear Mistress,

Shortly after I met my boyfriend of three months, he decided to become a vegetarian for health and ethical reasons. I’m a hard-core carnivore with a ravenous love of rare meat (I’ve even killed and cooked my own deer and turkey). I wasn’t sure how we’d get on, but we’ve proven to be a good match outside the kitchen. My issue is with his breath. All of a sudden, every meal he eats contains onions — “for flavor,” he says. He brushes his teeth, but the pungent smell of ramps, red onion and garlic persist. ... Read more

Dear Mistress,

What’s the gentlest way to suggest to my girlfriend that she tidy up her pubic hair — at least enough to fit it all into her bathing suit?

Dear Ambushed,

You’re in a hairy situation, literally and figuratively. Personal grooming can be a sensitive topic, so avoid razor burn by approaching with caution. ... Read more

Dear Mistress,

I was recently dating a guy and we really seemed to like each other. On our third date, things were getting hot and heavy, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to have sex. He told me it was fine and expressed how much he was looking forward to our next date. I was charmed by his patience and ended up having sex with him. It was pretty hot, and he spent the night. He texted the next day to ask if I wanted to go out the following Saturday. All good, right? Wrong. ... Read more

Dear Mistress,

I am 23-year-old woman who started having sex in high school. I’ve had boyfriends (nothing too serious, though), and I think they’ve all been happy with me sexually. The problem is, I don’t orgasm. Guys have fingered and gone down on me. I’ve had sex for what seems like hours, but I’ve never had one of those magical orgasms I read about.

I would just like to know what it feels like to come.... Read more

Dear Mistress,

My boyfriend and I are thinking about hooking up with another couple. Neither of us has ever done the “swinging” thing, but we’re curious to see what it’s about. Problem is, I’m really in love with him, and I worry that we’ll feel insecure or jealous. I think I’d be OK, but I guess you never know. And I don’t want him to think I would ever cheat on him (unless, of course, we’re all in the same room). ... Read more

Dear Mistress Maeve,

Last week was Steak and Blow Job Day (you know, the “holiday” where romantic boyfriends get repaid for their good Valentine’s Day deeds), and it got me thinking: I would really like to give my boyfriend a mind-blowing blowie, but my damned gag reflex always stops me from going “whole hog.” How do I get rid of my gag reflex?

Signed,
Trying
