Ask the Sexpert: Kids and compromises

Hi Shanna,

I’ve recently moved in with my girlfriend of four years, and I’m not sure what to do about having sex on the weeks that she has custody of her two kids, ages 5 and 7. She usually has an open–door policy with them, which is great, but I want some adult time too. What should we do?

Ask the Sexpert: Beyond 50

I’m a lesbian in my late 50s, and have already gone through’ the change’ (that’s menopause, for those not in the know). I noticed that there are some differences both physically and with my sex drive, and was wondering if you had any advice on how to re-set my ‘on’ button.

I always assumed that people went into porn, and even as far as going ‘gay for pay’ because of the money.

Ask the Sexpert: The grand finale (or not)

Hi Shanna,

I’m kind of new to the whole ‘having sex’ thing, and want to know how I can tell when my partner is faking an orgasm. What are the signs?

Ask the Sexpert: Don’t let the music die

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?
