Dear Madame X, I have been with my boyfriend for two years and a problem has entered our relationship. He has always been into fantasy. He has pictures of dragons all over his apartment and has friends over to play Dungeons and Dragons. This has been slightly embarrassing in the past, but has not been ...

The Porn Industry is about fantasy. Most of the women act and look far differently than those you would find in the real world. The men have larger than average penis size. And no one uses condoms. The fantasy aspect is a big part of the appeal. Because of this, many members of the porn ...

How much sex is in sexting? We should also reflect on the danger of minors taking and sending ...

Dear Madame X, My boyfriend really likes handcuffs, whips and the whole deal. He thinks I’m sexy in leather. He keeps asking me to be rougher in bed, which I don’t really like. He asked me several times to try dying my hair red and even bought me some dye from a pharmacy! I always ...

When you think of the Middle Ages, feminism and gender equality rarely come to mind. Men are kings, knights and lords while women are silent and submissive. The setting of George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones is just as sexist: whore houses abound, marriages are arranged at a startlingly young age, and rape is ...

Dear Madame X, I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I have a lover I see whenever I want and a career that fulfills me. Everything is going along perfectly but it doesn’t feel like enough. I refuse to cheat, but lately the idea has developed some appeal. I want to bring another man into the ...
