Contrary to popular belief, women can be sex addicts, too. In fact, up to 12 percent of people seeking treatment for this addiction are women (not to mention the ones who aren’t reported). Surprised?

Dear Madame X, I told a couple of little white lies to my girlfriend to avoid some fights and now she thinks I can’t be trusted. Specifically, I didn’t tell her about going to a strip joint, or about chatting with a female friend on Facebook who happens to be my ex. I have never ...
Dear Madame X, I have been in recovery from anorexia for about three years and my health is almost back to normal. I am still very uncomfortable showing my body to people, even my mother. I have had sex before after a few drinks but I turn the lights off and just move my underwear ...

Dear Madame X, I have recently married a lovely man. He is a very kind and caring man from a religious family, but not at all religious himself. However, he often insists on having anal sex and does not seem comfortable with vaginal sex or with me facing him during sex. I think he may ...
Dear Madame X, My girlfriend has a very narrow vagina and I often hurt her during sex. For some reason she will not tell me when she is hurting and silently endures it. I am very unhappy with this, but do not know what to do either about her silence or about hurting her in ...
Dear Madame X, I am a man who fakes orgasms. Lately I have found it very difficult to come with my wife. I get hard enough to get inside of her, but then it just dies. I have to pretend I’ve orgasmed because otherwise it would be devastating for her. At first it was only ...
As a sexologist my friends often tell me all kinds of juicy details about their sex lives that they probably wouldn’t share with anyone else. I think this is a privilege as I love talking about sex! I want to share my knowledge with the world to help people have the best sex lives possible. Please ...
