Brent gives advice to someone in a new relationship, who isn’t so thrilled that his boyfriend stays in touch with old flames.
Dear Brent,
I used to love online socializing, but I’m concerned now that it has become the new norm in the gay scene.
I worry that we are all so disconnected and have lost the ability to connect on any organic level. I also worry for bars, clubs, and other gay establishments because people aren’t going out as much. Is human contact going to be reduced to one hour of chatting online, 15 minutes of sex, and then back to solitude?
My 10-year lesbian partner and I have always had amazing sex. My sex drive has always been on the high side, but as we’ve progressed in our relationship, the amount has diminished, as seems to usually be the case. There have been been many disappointing times I thought we’d be intimate but it never occurred. I’m frustrated at not ever being able to decide if or when we have sex. Do you have any suggestions?
I am happily in a long term, monogamous relationship, but my partner is in the military and is deployed. I don’t believe in masturbation – any suggestions on how to relieve the tension?
Brent, A few weeks ago I was diagnosed HIV-positive. It was a total shock.
Dear Cycle Sluts,
My best friend, who is also an ex, has a new boyfriend that is a real jerk! Is there any way to talk to my friend about this without sounding like I’m catty?
