Q&As
Q: I haven't dated in a while, much less had sex. I'm in my early 30s. I don't want to spend the rest of my life without a relationship and sex. Any suggestions?
Q: My partner and I have different views on sex because of our different backgrounds. How can help my partner feel more comfortable discussing topics considered taboo?
Q: Sex was absolutely a forbidden topic when I was growing up. I'm still not comfortable with it. I'm single and in my late 40s. Anything I can do to be more open to sex when I'm dating?
Q: I haven't dated in many years because I am insecure sexually. I have never felt my G spot (if I have one). I have clitoral orgasms (although not as intense now) by myself, but not with a man. I'm afraid my partners will tell others I'm bad in bed or humiliate me in some other way. Help!
Q: I am 35 years old and think I may have a sex addiction. I continue to act out sexually (e.g., having sex with strangers often) even though I have promised myself I will stop. How do I end this compulsive behavior?

Q: I am a lesbian and my partner and I are having sexual problems. Are there therapists who specialize in same-sex relationships?

He says that he has found "peace within" and no longer feels the need for sex. I really love him, but I feel abandoned, unloved and insecure. He does not want us to seek counseling. What can I do?

Q&As
Q: My periods are getting longer and heavier and are really interfering with my sex life. How can I get some relief?
Q: What does an orgasm feel like? I'm 30, sexually active, and I don't think I've ever had one. Could something be wrong with me?
Q: I'm beginning to suspect that my diabetes is affecting my interest in sex. Is this possible?
Q: Does sexual desire change after a hysterectomy? I'm scheduled for one in about a month and I'd like to know.
Q: I had a vaginal delivery. Will sex be the same for my husband and me?
Q: I'm 25 years old, and sex isn't fun for me at all. It hurts. What's wrong with me?
Q: My husband is having trouble with sex. He can't have an erection. This has never happened before. Can I do anything to help him?
Q: I had a hysterectomy several years ago and since then have not had any sexual urge whatsoever. It's tearing me apart. My doctor gave me a prescription for testosterone cream but it's done nothing for me. Please help!
Q: My husband was recently diagnosed with Peyronie's Disease. What suggestions can you tell me to continue to have sex? It is very frustrating for him and me.
Q: I am 41 and had a hysterectomy one year ago. I would like to know if that is why I can't have an orgasm when I have sex with my boyfriend. Aside from the lack of orgasm, the sex is quite good.
Q: My partner and I both have diabetes and high blood pressure. I often don't feel sexually aroused (and certainly cannot climax), and he cannot hold an erection long enough to please me. Is there some type of sexual act or position that we can explore that will please us both?
Q: Two to seven days after I have sex (which is sometimes painful) with my male companion, I begin to bleed. Could this be a result of the blood thinner I take?
Q: I'm 37 and breastfeeding my 10-month-old baby. I have no sex drive and am wondering if the breastfeeding could be the cause.
Q: It was discovered through an ultrasound that I have a retroverted uterus. My doctor told me that it may cause painful sex. Now I'm worried. I'm 19, a virgin and feeling depressed that sex may always be painful for me. I have always had very painful periods. What can I do to reduce the pain involved with sex?
Q: I have been sexually inactive for about a year now, but prior to that I had no problem achieving one or more orgasms. When I went for my annual gynecological exam, my doctor said I had vaginal thinning. Are there other health concerns associated with vaginal thinning or should I not worry about it unless it affects my ability to have pleasurable sex?
Q: My periods are getting longer and heavier and are really interfering with my sex life. How can I get some relief? Can something besides a hysterectomy help me?
Q: My question regards ejaculation upon having an orgasm. I am a 46-year-old woman who in the last two years seems to expel a good amount of "fluid" when approaching and/or reaching orgasm. What is this fluid? It has no odor. Is there anything that can be done to control it?
