All the Sex Questions You Can't Ask Anyone Else

If I have long nails, is it safe to manually stimulate my girlfriend?

A While I’m sure your talons look incredible, they do pose some not-so-glam risks. ‘There is the chance you cut her internally,’ says Dr Lauren Streicher, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Northwestern University’s medical school. Since you can imagine how that would feel, you probably want to go ahead and trim your nails. But if you do accidentally scratch her, it won’t up her risk of getting an infection, assures Streicher.

Having a threesome has been on my to-do list for years, but now I’m in a relationship I think may lead to marriage with someone who isn’t into it at all. Do I risk my sexual bucket list for love?

A Oof, pitting sex against love – you’re going there. Usually, I’d say if it’s a fantasy you want, you and your partner should work on finding a compromise to get it.
