| Water surprise | | 2:44pm Tuesday 29th April 2008 | | I want to get some excess hair removed from
my face. However, I was surprised to be told
that because I am on “water tablets” I should
definitely not have laser treatment. |
| Her time will come | | 2:43pm Tuesday 29th April 2008 | | I am 19 and have had sex four times with
my boyfriend. Yet there has been absolutely
no sign of an orgasm from me. What’s
wrong with me? |
| Tender behind | | 2:41pm Tuesday 29th April 2008 | | All my adult life I have suffered from an
embarrassing problem. I keep getting an itchy
place just near my bottom. |
| Cheekie chappie | | 3:22pm Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | I have been astonished to discover my new GP
insists on addressing me by my first name, which is Mary. |
| Gay daughter | | 3:20pm Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | I'm terribly worried about my daughter, aged 21,
who has just declared herself to be a lesbian. |
| Fat chance | | 3:16pm Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | My cholesterol is fractionally above normal.
Could I reduce it by taking up regular exercise? |
| Grease not the word | | 3:11pm Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | The nurse at our doctor’s told me not to use
Vaseline as a sex lubricant. Why? |
| Brittle bones | | 3:07pm Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | I am really worried about myself because my mum
has developed “brittle bone disease”. As a result, she has got quite stooped over and has had several fractures. |
| Moon and the menses | | 3:04pm Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | How far apart should periods come? And are they
really governed by the moon, as my friend says?
Mine are sometimes three weeks apart and
sometimes five weeks. |
| No-touch technique | | 3:00pm Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | My fiance refuses to touch my clitoris. He’s
absolutely convinced females should reach orgasm
as a result of intercourse alone. I say this is
nonsense. Who’s right? |
