Keeping healthy and positive beliefs about ourselves and our surroundings helps us get up every day ready to engage with our lives – but some clichés keep us from searching for things that make us successful and happy. Be careful about using these as an excuse for not getting off your butt and improving your life. Remember, words have an impact on us whether spoken or thought.
The ridicule comes from the old stereotype that bisexual men and women are either ultimately confused, or closeted homosexuals, afraid of making the full jump.
Dear Shanna,
Can using too much lube at one time wind up being dangerous? If so, what is the appropriate amount of lube to use?

They say three’s a charm. And I have the triple nipples to prove it. But when it comes to the bedroom, the dream of a ménage a trois becomes a Lucky Pierre nightmare for so many. I just don’t get i
I think there are three areas where gay ideals could set straight people up to be more holistically healthy, honest and introspective.
I normally didn’t do the ‘risky sex in public’ thing. But I also didn’t normally come across guys who looked like him. It was Vegas; I needed to gamble. I stepped into his stall and he immediately pressed me to the wall, kissing passionately. We tried to make as little noise as possible. Limited by not having a condom, we did everything else.
Dear Shanna,
I’ve been out for almost a decade now, but my girlfriend is a newly-out baby dyke and isn’t out to her family yet. I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her, but having her family think we’re “just” roommates is bothering me. What should I do?

For the first time in my life, I felt that I was in a city surrounded by my tribe. Each trip to San Francisco impacted me in different ways: The first time I had a breakdown at the airport returning home and semi-frequently for the following few weeks after returning to “normal” life. For a long while, I toyed around with moving there or to another city that provided more of a central gay population, a wider social life and the opportunity to exist in a unified gay commune.
This might sound slightly weird, but I think that when I get horny, I tend to sneeze a lot more. Is this a thing, or am I imagining it? If it helps, I am a transgender guy, and I do take testosterone shots.
I have an anxiety disorder and have a prescription for a medicine I take if I’m having a panic attack. My boyfriend doesn’t have anxiety but sometimes likes to take my pills for fun, always asking me for some, or sometimes just popping them when I’m not around. He’s not addicted or taking whole bottles, and I don’t think abusing this medication is much worse than using marijuana or for an underage person to drink alcohol. I just hate how he treats my disorder like a fun chance to get high, because I treat it very seriously. I don’t want to seem stingy or conservative. How should I handle the situation?
