1) Is there any appropriate answer (other than the obvious) for when a girl asks "Do I look fat?"

Asked by Paul R. from Boston, MA

The only appropriate answer is "No!". You can add any compliment to the "No!", but always make sure you tell her she doesn't look fat. If the word "no" does not leave your mouth she will think that you are trying to avoid answering the question. Also, make sure you do not hesitate when you answer. Women are so self-conscious of our bodies that we sometimes need reassurance. Any pause before an answer or not getting a direct "no" plays on our insecurities.

2) Is it a safe assumption that all of my girlfriend's friends will know every detail about my penis?

Asked by Kwame P. from Hybart, AL

There are a small percentage of women who feel it necessary to share every intimate detail about their sex lives, including any and all information regarding your penis. I have found that most women have more respect than that. Yes, we do tend to share some of the juicy details of our last sexual encounter. When it comes to details about your penis, however, some things are better left between the two of you.

3) Should men practice "Manscaping"?

Asked by Peter P. from Waycross, GA

Manscaping is actually a personal preference for men. Women aren't picky about pubic hair like men are. It doesn't matter whether you are natural, trimmed or shaved as long as you are comfortable. The only benefit that I have heard about "manscaping" from male friends is that it is easier to get your genital area clean, and you feel cleaner throughout the day. Cleanliness is the only requirement when it comes to your pubic region.

4) Do "ribbed" condoms really feel any better than regular ones? Should a man always pick lubricated condoms?

Asked by Jim S. from St. Paul, MN

Ribbed condoms feel different, but I wouldn't say that they feel better. It can be a nice change to switch to a ribbed condom every now and then, but overall the regular condoms are preferred. Men and women think completely differently when it comes to sex. A woman in a relationship is looking for a connection rather than just to have an orgasm. When we have sex we want to feel you. Ribbed condoms can sometimes feel too foreign. Also, if you have the choice between lubricated and non-lubricated I would choose the lubricated condom.

5) Is it cool for a guy to cry in front of his girl at a movie.......or any other time?

Asked by Pete D. from Las Vegas, NV

It's okay for men to cry in front of their girlfriends. The only people who have a problem with men crying are the men themselves. Of course we don't want men that cry more than we do, but having a man that expresses his feelings is appreciated. Women actually think it's sweet when we look over at our boyfriends while watching a movie and see tears in his eyes.

My boyfriend recently lost an uncle whom he was very close with. When his uncle was alive he was into poetry and music. Over Christmas, my boyfriend's cousin made T-shirts for a couple people in the family with one of his uncle's poems on the back. When my boyfriend opened it up he was completely shocked, gave his cousin a hug, and started crying. He is a man that never cries, and seeing him like that made me melt. It was very sweet and showed me the vulnerable side of him.

6) Should we ever give the honest answer to our girlfriends regarding how many girls we've slept with?

Asked by Leo M. from Brooklyn, NY

Asked by Peter P. from Waycross, GA

One of the most forgotten erogenous zones would be the hands. Our hands have so many nerve endings, and they are more sensitive when we are aroused. Kissing a woman's palms and fingers are a sure turn on. Another area to try is the back of her shoulders. There is so much focus and attention devoted to our front side that our backs frequently get overlooked. The next time you are behind your girlfriend/wife sensually kiss the back of her shoulders and I have no doubt it will give her goose bumps.
