Q More than a few times, you have implied that if one’s partner is unwilling to satisfy, the deprived person has a right to seek it elsewhere. My sex life with my wife, despite my best efforts, is infrequent and uninspired. I recently met a married woman who has had a nonexistent sex life for many years. We like each other immensely and are compatible in many ways, including in our sexual desires. Neither of us wants to divorce our spouses, as the other areas of our lives are fine. But we are considering becoming sex buddies.

And for the record: I’ve never “implied” that married people unjustly deprived of sex have a right to seek it elsewhere. I’ve hammered away at that point, year after lonely year. I have no talent for insinuation, LDS. But a married man with a sex buddy on the side is an adulterer, full stop. So get the wife something nice, huh?

QI am dating a divorcee who just turned 60. She told me her first husband required that she thank him after intercourse. She does not find anything unusual about his request or her complying with it. I think it is bizarre. What do you have to say? –Amazed and Really Perplexed

The thought that she had sex with other guys and girls and enjoyed it drives me crazy. I get totally jealous whenever she talks about old sex partners, particularly the one-night stands–a type of encounter I’ve never had–and I don’t know how to deal with it. I need advice. How do you deal with jealousy like this? –Confused and Jealous and Turned On

Q Regarding that letter about a dog licking Nutella off a woman’s pussy. Yes, the letter was a fake, but you left out an important detail: chocolate is poison to dogs! Please note this detail as a warning to any girls or boys who might want to give this a try. It could kill their pet! –Save a Dog
