1) On my second date with a new girl I met she asked if she could "cut me." Apparently she has some type of weird fetish where she gets turned on by doing this. I would be running away as fast as I could if the girl weren't smokin' hot and other than this bizarre craving, a very sweet girl. Have you heard of this before? Should I fear that she's a bit of a loon?

I actually have heard of this fetish before. I don't know where it stems from or if there is any concern of her being a "loon," however. If you do want to continue a relationship with this woman, just make sure that she is aware that you do not want to participate in this fetish and that she is okay with that. Also, be careful. You don't know what other kinds of quirks or fetishes this woman may have, seeing as she wanted to cut you after only two dates.

2) Last night my girlfriend refused to use my toothbrush while staying over at my place. She stated that it was "gross to share toothbrushes." This is the same girl that not 2 hours previous was performing fellatio on me. Isn't a toothbrush much more sanitary than a penis?

Although I completely agree with you, I do see the view from the other side as well. I find it very humorous when couples that participate in oral sex find it disgusting to share toothbrushes (not to mention that her tongue has already been inside of your mouth). I don't mind sharing a toothbrush with my boyfriend at all. That being said, you must also understand that a body part and a toothbrush are completely different things. Your penis is obviously a part of you, which is attractive to her. Your toothbrush is a plastic stick with bristles designed to scrape plaque, food particles and bacteria off of your teeth, which isn't very attractive at all. The disgust of toothbrushes begins at childhood. We all get our own toothbrushes and we are told not to touch anyone else's toothbrush. Why? Because it's gross. Parents instill the message of "sharing toothbrushes is gross" in children from the moment they have teeth to brush.

3) So why is it so tough to tell when we are in love with someone, yet so very clear when it has gone away?

Love is a very confusing emotion, especially when you first start to fall in love with someone. You don't want to scare them away by feeling too strongly too quickly, but you also don't want to confuse what you are feeling for love if it truly isn't love. Then you don't want to fall in love with them in case they don't feel the same way, because you don't want to get hurt again. You feel so many emotions all at one time that you don't even know what you are feeling anymore. We all know when we are truly in love with someone. There are just times when we want to postpone it due to self preservation.

It is very clear when love disappears in a relationship. We may lie to ourselves and pretend that everything is fine, but inside we know. There is nothing worse than the pain caused by love lost. We may be able to push love away to postpone its affects in order to protect ourselves, but there is no way to postpone the affects of love lost. It is so clear when love has gone away because its affects are immediate.

4) I recently read that men are very aroused by the smell of pumpkin pie (as well as other pies). Supposedly this reminds them of their youth and innocent times. Delving deeper, I couldn't help but think that since their Moms were making that pie, does it mean that men have a secret and sensual attraction to their mothers?

I'm sure every man reading this is cringing at the thought of being attracted to his mother. I truly don't know enough about the inner workings of the male psyche to answer this. I'm sure most of you have heard of the Oedipus Complex. About a century ago, Sigmund Freud developed the theory that during adolescence male children have an incestuous love for their mother, along with seeing their father as an adversary and competitor for their mother's love. The complex is not supposed to continue into adulthood, however. Although this has been an ongoing theory (developed by a male), I am quite content to believe that my boyfriend does not have the hots for his mother.

5) My girlfriend's trainer at her gym is a guy. A good looking guy. A good looking guy with a much better body than mine. A good looking guy with a much better looking body than mine who drives a Porsche. How worried should I be?

These gyms purposely get attractive trainers with amazing bodies. You do not want someone with a beer belly telling you how to get rid of your love handles. If your girlfriend has been faithful to you and has given you no reason to worry, then don't. Questioning her about her trainer or making her feel bad or untrusted because her trainer is attractive is only going to cause problems.

6) My girlfriend has been begging to fulfill a fantasy of hers. She wants to make love in a public place. I'm scared to death that we'll be caught. Where can we go that's "safe"?

If you are uncomfortable, but would like to fulfill her fantasy start somewhere small. It will give her a taste as well as help you overcome the discomfort. If you have a privacy fence, or a lot of space between you and your neighbors, or woods in the backyard (preferably not around hunting season) take a blanket outside. If those options aren't available try a small park at night. I've also heard from several friends that they have had sex in a dressing room without getting caught. Just start small and work your way up slowly. If you aren't comfortable with a situation, then don't do it. There is no use risking getting caught if you two won't enjoy yourselves because you are about to have a stroke.
