While they can’t offer a paternity or lie detector test, they can offer advice, compassionate nodding and the occasional Kyle-esque outburst. If you have a sex & relationships problem, contact agony-aunt-contessa@hotmail.com, and we’ll give you your solution. Probably. Or just make it worse.

Sex on the brain?

I'm dating this guy at the moment who's all about the sex. He talks about it constantly and always wants to do it! I haven't yet, because I've only been on two dates with him and haven't really known him for long enough. Yes, I sort of want to because I really like him and he is gorgeous, but I feel it's way too early. I also find it really off-putting how he talks about it openly with me! He's discussed previous partners and he's even told me about what he's done with a couple of them - is he trying to suggest he wants me to do these things? I just get the impression he's only in this for one thing, but he is buying me dinner and treating me well! What do I do??

Please help! Katie, York.

  • Hi Katie,

Has this guy not heard of being a gentleman? He's clearly buying you dinner and treating you well so you think he's kind and sweet and therefore feel obliged to give something back. Well don't! We shouldn't feel obliged to do anything, and that's definitely what he's making you feel like, because you're feeling guilty for not putting out. You've been on two dates with this guy and he's already discussing previous sexual antics?! He doesn't sound like boyfriend material to me and he's certainly not a gentleman if he's talking about his sexual partners to someone he barely knows - do you want that to be you? If you do just want fun then he sounds like the perfect man, but honestly I'd throw him away, along with his phone number!

  • Hi Katie,

What are you, 12? Men and sex are two things that are very easy to control, and you have the upper hand here. Lead him on as much as you can, squeeze as many diamond rings and lunches at Betty’s out of him as possible, then leave him tied up naked and blindfolded, with whipped cream on his belly and an apple in his mouth, claiming that it turns you on. Then leave him there for his housemates to find or take a picture and forward it to his gran.

Alternatively, tell him you love to get chickens involved in the bedroom and he’ll be out of your hair in no time.

Vanessa, X
