On the fag hag fantasy.

I’m a girl, I fancy my best mate, a guy.

Problem: He’s gay.

He’s not been in a relationship in over two years, but when he talks about other guys he likes, I get super jealous.

I really want to get into his pants.

Persuade me he’s a dickhead or tell me rohypnol is OK.

He’s not the dickhead. You are.

Come on, a fag hag who lusts after her gay best friend? You’re a fucked out sitcom cliche. Please go find a heterosexual male to fool around with before you ruin a perfectly good friendship.

On actually breaking it off.

My boyfriend of ~ 2 years told me he couldn’t marry me and we broke up. But now he still wants to talk to me everyday and still stop by my house. I know too that we were not a right match, but part of me just wants to cut him off so he understands what he is missing. Petty?

Not petty. Necessary.

He doesn’t get to break up with you and still creep around at his convenience. Fuck that. Tell him to lose your number and forget where you live.

This isn’t about him understanding what he’s missing. Don’t make it about him. This is about you moving on and enjoying whatever’s coming next.

On planning a delicious mistake.

I want nothing more than to fuck a friend of mine. Sometimes, I swear that my body is full of electricity when I think about the idea!

The problem here is this: she’s a girl, I’m a girl and I’m not openly bisexual. I haven’t come to terms with this, it’s not an issue, but I’ve never felt this compelled to throw caution to the wind. I’m at odds with what to do because I believe in patiently waiting on what the endurance of a crush really is. Most of the time, it’s just fizzled out sparks.

She and I hang out often, which is something I’m trying not to do as much anymore. She texts me all the time; when she wakes up, with random little things, etc. We can also go for hours texting back and forth with messages that if read, someone would definitely think there was some kind of relationship going. Her flirtation definitely borders on intrusion and in public I can undeniably say we’ve made a lot people uncomfortable. When we drink, our threat level becomes orange because she loves to dance on me. She’ll typically grind on me and it drives me crazy (she does this sober as well) and just taking it is all I can do as to not tear her apart right then and there. Most recently, I think we went a little too far in front of friends. I was drunk, she was high, and I kept feeling up on her butt. This was only because she wanted me to rearrange what she had in her back pockets. I kept rearranging at her beck, but it just looked like I was fondling her and admiring, sort of the way a man holds a woman by her ass and looks down at her. That same night, she wasn’t reluctant to touch my lips with her fingers just to get me to talk after a moment of being silent. That sent a straight up electric shock through me. Her touching my lips is something I don’t want to foolishly over-analyze but what I’m really thinking is, who does that??

When we’re alone, though, it’s different. We’re friends and we giggle about stupid boy stuff, her ex-boyfriend situation, our “moments” and everything else in between. When I made a comment about our borderline flirting to our group of friends, they just returned with “that’s just how Jane Doe is!” And when I confided in another friend about how often Jane Doe wants to hang out, she noted how someone had actually thought Jane Doe had been “on my ass” lately.

If I had none of this to add on to the fact that she broke up with her boyfriend a few months ago and is definitely trying to live it up, then I could easily say that she’s not interested.

I don’t want to ruin what can definitely thrive as a friendship. I don’t want to ruin the dynamic I’ve got with my friends and I don’t want to complicate anything in my life at the moment by making a stupid mistake as in believing this girl is into me when really it might just be that I’m seeing what I want to see. But she can go very far in what she says to me and if she wants to fuck, I really want to fuck her too.

Damn. Now I want to fuck her too. You paint a vivid picture, sweetie.

Here’s the thing. Odds are, she wants to experiment, even if it’s just once. If you want it to be with you, the trick is to make her feel safe and let her know that it won’t affect the friendship.

You’re both girls, but to pull this off you’re gonna have to man up. She’s a flirt, a tease. She’s the type who likes it when guys take control. Well, now that guy is you. You have to make the first move. It has to be firm. No hesitation.

Pick an evening where it’s just the two of you. Set the mood. Plan it out in your mind. Hell, this weekend is Valentine’s Day. You’re both broken up. It’s a perfect opportunity to playfully be each others valentines. Make it a girls night and don’t take it too seriously. Once you’re back at your place and both slightly toasted, pin her up against the wall and kiss her like you’ve always wanted to.

Keep going. Whatever you do, don’t stop. Don’t start talking, and don’t get all giggly. Just get lost in the moment, and you’ll be naked together in no time.

Afterwards, you can both blame it on Valentine.

Or, you can fuck each other again.

Best of luck.

On having it both ways.

i want to kiss the scruffy faces of ruggedly handsome men and the ass-soft cheeks of beautifully feminine girls

why does the world seem to think i’m such a bad person because of that?

The world doesn’t think you’re a bad person. A few ignorant, close-minded people who’ve been poisoned by religion think that.

If you also happen to be good looking, you can be sure to add a few good old fashioned haters to the list. Those miserable jealous fucks don’t need religion. Haters gonna hate.

In either case, ignore them. Pity them. Better yet, taunt them.

Whatever you do, don’t start thinking the world gives a fuck.

On pre-life crisis.

I’m sixteen years old and in my second semester of college, which makes people think that I’m super smart and talented and that I’m going places. Ha. Right. Really, I’m just here because I needed to get out of high school ASAP and, at the time, college seemed like the best option.

The thing is, now I feel trapped. My parents are paying loads of money to send me here, and I can’t help them out because no one wants to hire a sixteen-year-old chick that can’t drive and has no job experience. Plus, I have absolutely no clue what I want to do with my life. Right now, I’m focusing on neuroscience and psychology, but neuropsychology isn’t exactly a field you should enter without being damn sure it’s what you want to do with your life, and I’m just not.

Don’t get me wrong: neuropsychology is a ridiculously fascinating subject. I could literally go on about all the different disorders for ages upon ages. It’s just, I’m scared that I’m never going to visit Egypt and England and Japan, or publish a hilariously bad romance novel, or do any of the things that I told myself I would when I was a little kid. I’m stuck being this girl that people think is smarter than she actually is, trying to live up to their expectations, and, fuck, isn’t sixteen too young to be having a mid-life crisis?

Whoa. Chill the fuck out, kid.

You’re not trapped. You’re just in a bubble, and you have no sense of scale. At your age, you could go off and have an entire career in neuropsychology, decide to change paths, and still be young enough to qualify as a cast member for MTV’s Real World.

Also, your parents want to pay for you education. It’s a point of personal pride for them. The work-study wage you can’t earn yet is a drop in the fucking bucket anyways, so stop feeling guilty and start taking advantage of the situation.

The only expectations you have to live up to are your own, and I’m guessing that you know damn well what you’re capable of doing. Hell, you could have a fucking PhD and still need a fake ID to buy beer.

Life is long, kiddo. Knock college out like you did high school, and then go off and do something cool. When you’re done, go do something else. After that, write a shitty book or go to Egypt.

You’ve got plenty of fucking time.

On what to believe.

If you say coke is harmless (use not abuse) then why is everyone telling me it IS harmful? I’m asking because I don’t know what to believe right now, not because I’m against drugs or anything.

I didn’t say coke is harmless. It has its risks. So do french fries and asian drivers, but hey, that’s life in the big city.

Good for you, by the way. Not knowing what to believe is an excellent first step. Keep questioning authority. Learn to spot political agendas. Recognize when you’re being sold.

Believe whatever you want, kid. Just remember — belief isn’t knowledge, and knowledge sure as hell isn’t wisdom.

On starting out bisexual.

I suspect I may be bisexual. Problem is, I have limited sexual experience in general. This has led to an awful catch-22.

My “new” (or newly accepted) interest in my own gender means lately I’ve been less interested in pursuing the opposite gender. But my lack of experience with the opposite gender makes me absolutely terrified of pursuing or even talking about my new interest… with anyone except a random girl on the internet.

So, two questions. One, is it possible to realize something like this about yourself when you don’t have that much experience? It’s not like I have a lot for comparison here. Two, what the fuck should I do in general Coke Talk?

You don’t need sexual experience to recognize your own sexual orientation, but recognizing it and being comfortable with it are two different things. Being comfortable with your bisexuality does take experience. Relax. It’ll come.

Oh, and yes. If you suspect that you might be bisexual, it’s because you are. No big deal. So is everybody else. Really. It’s all just a matter of degree. Stop worrying about the label.

One day, you’re gonna start fucking — girls, guys, whatever — you’ll eventually get to swapping some bodily fluids. Until you do, you’re going to be a bundle of nerves. It’s perfectly normal to be freaked out by sex when it’s right in front of you the first few times. Enjoy the thrill.

Look ‘em in the eye and take it like a man — or give it like a woman — I honestly have no idea what your gender is, nor does it matter. Whatever turns you on, just be safe and go with it. If you’re lucky, the people you want to fuck will want to fuck you back.

Go knock it out and have some fun.

On stripping.

I just started out stripping 3 days ago and when i ask any customers for a lap dance they always say they don’t have any money, but i see them walk off and get 600$ dances from other girls.

i’m a very attractive girl and i have a good body, can your give me tips on how to talk these men into getting a lap dance from me?

ps. girls usually get most of their money from lap dances.

Yes, my dear. I am quite aware of the cash flow model of the average strip club, but it was very sweet of you to point out what you learned in your first few hours on the job. (The dollar sign goes in front of the number, by the way.)

Now, as for your problem. You need to shift your thinking a bit. Being a very attractive girl and having a great body is all it takes to get male attention outside the strip club walls, but once you’re inside the rules are temporarily suspended.

Gender roles are reversed. Women become the aggressors while men sit back and soak up female attention. It’s what they’re really paying for, and it’s all bullshit. You know it. They know it. The trick is to get them to temporarily forget that it’s all a lie. That’s how you make the big bucks.

They don’t pay you because they find you attractive. They pay you because you find them attractive. It’s called hustling, and it’s a hell of a lot harder than just standing around looking pretty.

Unless you want more than the occasional free drink and a few dollar bills at the pole, I suggest you start letting those men know how irresistibly sexy they are.

Good luck meaning it.


(Also, I highly recommend you follow both The Dame and Kat’s Blog. The Dame is a pole dancing bad ass who gives great advice, and Kat is a smirking genius whose blog is basically the Huffington Post of strip club culture.)

On hurting the first time.

I am nineteen. I am dating a super guy. He is twenty-eight, but the age difference isn’t the thing. I feel like we both know what the age difference means and doesn’t mean, and are ok with it. I’ve only had one serious boyfriend before this, and he was really hung up on sex before marriage being wrong. I don’t feel that way at all: I really love making out and have always been comfortable enjoying sexual things. I assumed that I would love actual sex (as in vaginal penetration) but the one time we sort of half-heartedly (on his part) tried, the penis wouldn’t go in. I don’t think he really tried, as he was in the throes of Raging Erection vs. Angry Jehovah, but it definitely didn’t work and sort of hurt.

The current boyfriend is more experienced than I am, and things have been really great (hey, he knows where the clitoris is! etc.) but we haven’t actually had sex. We take baths together and make out and bring each other to orgasm, all of which is fantastic, but actual vaginal penetration has only kind of taken place. I think. We tried actual sex about two months ago, and it really hurt me, so we stopped. I decided I was just being a wimp, and so a week or so later, I said I wanted to try again, and this time I felt him inside me a little bit but OH MY HOLY GOD IT HURT SO MUCH. I broke my jaw in a bike accident a year ago, and I would rather break it again than feel that again. I mean it REALLY FUCKING HURT. I couldn’t help whimpering a bit and he asked if he should keep going. I said yes because I just wanted to get it over with now that we’d started, but he stopped like a minute later because he could tell it was really hurting.

It hurt for like a week, so much that I couldn’t sit cross legged or even poop. I was afraid it would get infected too, and it still feels like when you scrape your elbow and it gets sort of tender to touch. It bled a bit, but not a whole lot, which makes me think maybe we didn’t get it the whole way. We tried again about a week later, and it *really* hurt then, I think because it was tender from being torn and healing back together.

I tried talking to a nurse that the university had come and talk about sexual health, but she seemed to think the boyfriend was pressuring me and told me I should wait until I was ready to have sex. I was pretty mad over how sexist this was- assuming that I didn’t really want to have sex. Boyfriend is NOT pressuring me. He’s been really sweet and patient and says that although vaginal sex would be nice he is satisfied right now too. It’s just that I *want* to have actual sex, and am nervous now that this may never actually happen unless I get like, passed out drunk or something. I’m worried that it’s not supposed to hurt like this, and seriously, if it hurts like this I am afraid I’ll eventually give up on vaginal sex forever. Which would be sad. I was so looking forward to this!

Most of the women I know are really religious/conservative, and I can’t really ask them, but the two girls I have asked have said it didn’t hurt at all for them their first time. I know it normally hurts a little, but I don’t think I’m a wimp, and this was excruciating. Like if that’s the only way, I don’t think I can do that.

I am 5’2” and pretty small, and boyfriend is pretty well endowed (from my research), so I don’t know if that is it. Also, I orgasm from grinding on things, not penetration (so far, anyway) and it hurts when I even try to penetrate myself with my fingers, if I go in very far at all. I tried going into the local Planned Parenthood clinic a few months ago for contraception, and they weren’t very friendly. I don’t know how I would even start to ask them this sort of thing. Also, I am a student, so I am typically pretty broke, and I wouldn’t want to sacrifice a week’s gas money to go to the doctor just so he/she can tell me “It’s normal. Wait until you’re ready.”

Is this normal? Am I being a wimp? This is just really excruciating and not enjoyable at all.

Afraid that I may remain technically a virgin forever,

You sound like a good kid. I’m really sorry that you’re surrounded by crazy christians. Those bible thumping, vagina hating bastards really know how to shame, confuse, and miseducate a young girl. They are fundamentally wrong and woefully unreliable about pretty much everything, but especially sex.

Based on your description of the situation, my best guess is you’ve got a hymen like a Jersey Shore bouncer. Breaking the seal is notoriously unpleasant, and it sounds like you’ve got it worse than most. Thing is, I’m not a doctor, and I haven’t dealt with this situation since hammer pants were in fashion.

Everything you’re saying makes sense up to a point, but then you start talking about things “healing back together” and that you’re walking around with pain for a week. That makes me nervous. It think you need to check in with a medical professional on this, and I don’t mean some university lecture circuit nurse with a political agenda.

I want you to find a real doctor, preferably a female gynecologist with no crosses on the wall. Get a full pelvic exam. Tell her everything in detail, and ask her what’s going on. Hopefully, she’ll tell you that everything is fine, and she’ll give you some Astroglide and a stick to bite down on until the pain goes away and sex starts feeling good.

Best of luck, sweetie. I promise, it gets much, much better.

* I got a note from a well-informed reader who suggests that you may have a condition called Vaginismus. All the more reason to go to a gynecologist.
