Black look

5:04pm Monday 1st December 2008

I was very alarmed when I went to the loo this morning and saw my motions had turned black.

What a waist

My waistline has recently gone up to 39 inches.

No smoking

I took my little girl to the doctor’s with a cough, and she asked me if my husband smokes. Is this really relevant?

Who's boss?

5:05pm Monday 1st December 2008

I recently met a nice guy in Hove. We had a couple of dates, and things went really well. But when I went to his place to spend the night, something odd happened. He wanted me to yell at him and order him about in bed. In fact, he asked me to call him a “useless lover”, and he got really excited. I am wondering if our relationship has a future.

Is she protected?

I have had four children. Is it true this will protect me against breast cancer?

Getting the point

My boyfriend has found a new “tanning injection” available on the internet. He wants me to try it, as I’ve always had difficulty getting brown. But can I be sure it it’s safe?

In good voice

My new boyfriend is very shocked by the fact I shriek loudly when I orgasm. He says this embarrasses him, because he’s “not used to that type of thing”. Am I abnormal?

Sex with ex

3:15pm Wednesday 19th November 2008

I am in the process of getting divorced, and will remarry next year. What is puzzling me is the split-up with my husband seems to have made me feel incredibly sexy. In fact, one night he came round with some papers for me to sign, and we ended up going to bed together. Obviously, I have not told the man who I am going to marry. Is there something wrong with me? Quite often, the process of divorce does seem to make people feel randy. Probably it’s the drama of it all that stimulates the hormones. However, a good basic rule is this: “Never have sex with your ex”. Doing so only creates emotional confusion. If you’re really sure you want to go ahead with this divorce, I suggest you steer well clear of your husband for some time.

No problem?

My husband and I have a pair of tickets for a rugby international in Dublin at the end of February. However, he has now found that, because of a business conference, he won’t be able to go. He has suggested his best friend, who is rugby-mad, should accompany me instead. However, the package would mean we’d have to share a room. Both men assure me this wouldn’t cause any problems.

Spinal tip

3:18pm Wednesday 19th November 2008

My job involves lifting and as a result I have had a bad back for five months. My GP’s pills are not curing me, but he won’t let me go to an osteopath privately. What should I do?
