You have been separated from your significant other for six months. An attractive, attentive neighbor has paid you flattering attention. It is obvious he/she wishes to take the relationship further. Do you:
Dismiss him/her, you’re in a committed relationship.
Continue to flirt, but go no further.
Fantasize about him/her, but take care of your sexual needs solo.
Let the affair become physical.
Answer: Although I’m not religious, I believe in the sanctity of marriage. An abusive relationship or one in which your significant other cheats is one thing, but if you find yourself falling out of love for no reason after getting married, you may never have even been in love with that person. I wouldn’t have married my late husband Bill if I hadn’t loved him. Like any couple, we had our bumps in the road, but we worked them out because we loved each other. Our relationship never got to the separation stage until he passed.
A male co-worker whom you have heard is great in bed and very well endowed has been flirting with you a lot. He obviously wishes to start a relationship. Do you:
(This question is for women AND men).
Make it clear to him you’re not interested.
Flirt with him but go no further
Mentally undress him and wonder what he’d be like in bed.
Let the relationship become sexual.
Answer: This would depend on if I had any feelings for the guy. If not, I would tell him so politely but firmly. If he persisted, I would file a sexual harassment complaint.
Your significant other is impotent most of the time, showing little interest in you and little interest in being sexual. Do you:
Resign yourself to no sex.
Satisfy your needs with masturbation
Find someone who can satisfy you sexually but remain with your significant other
Leave him or her
Answer: Bill actually was impotent, but that didn’t matter. I was in my forties, and he was nineteen years older. We weren’t interested in having children, so sex wasn’t necessary. We had a wonderful seven-year relationship before he passed.
The last time you and your mate had sex, were you:
Concentrating mostly on him/her, and you didn’t even orgasm
Thinking about your pleasure and theirs.
Concentrating mainly on your own pleasure.
Used his/her body as a tool to reach your own orgasm.
Answer: The first and only time Bill and I tried intercourse, it didn’t work. But as I said earlier, it didn’t matter. I strongly believe that you don’t need sex to have a good marriage, and my relationship with Bill is living proof.
What kind of partner do you prefer while making love or having sex?
Tender, loving, slow and sweet
I don’t care, just do me; it’s been a while
Tough, take-charge, I like it a little rough
Any lovin’ is good lovin’
Answer: I doubt I’ll be making love or having sex anytime soon. But if I do, I would probably prefer tender, slow, and sweet because that’s the way Bill was. Then again, I’m not sure I ever want to be with another man.
