My wife is co-sleeping -- sharing our bed -- with our two children. I understand why she sleeps with our baby, who's breast-feeding, but not why my 6-year-old daughter must sleep in our bed. I've quit sharing the "family bed," as I need my rest.

I've been married for over 20 years, and though my wife and I have a very good relationship, she has a low sex drive and never initiates sex. She used to make snide remarks about my sex drive, but I pointed out my options (no sex, self-service, her or someone else). She knew I wouldn't cheat, so rather than let this cause a rift, she said she wanted me to come to her for my sexual needs. We now average two to three times a week. A couple times a month, we have mutually mind-blowing sex, but other times, she does it just for me. I never get the feeling she really wants me, and it's deflating when I sense she'd rather do laundry, watch TV or water the plants. I've tried holding back and waiting for her to make the first move, but that seems like a head game to her and makes her feel something's wrong. Is there a way to get her more interested? Frustrated

I've been engaged to a man for seven years, but we haven't been able to afford to get married. I attend college part time while raising my daughter and working. He treats me well and works hard, but he's unmotivated and undereducated.

I had to talk a guy friend out of showing up on a first date with a rose and a book the woman had casually mentioned she liked.

My fiance's been treating me badly for a while. When I'm at his place, I spend most of my time watching him play video games and drink beer until he's ready for sex or he passes out.

My co-worker was really hung up on a guy. She was convinced he liked her, and she did all the flirty things you advise, but he never made a move.

I'm an African-American gay woman in my mid-20s. I initially had relationships with men, but I'm just not attracted to or compelled by them. Women make me feel alive, exhilarated, connected and challenged, and sex is the bomb. So, I know I truly love women but most lesbians, including my current girlfriend, are crazy.

I'm 25, a singer in a band, and extremely motivated to make a career out of my music. In fact, I'm moving to LA this week for that purpose. I've been casually dating speedily dumping men who've gotten attached (not my fault I make my intentions super-clear). I should be packing now, but I'm a mess.

I met an amazing guy the kind I swore didn't exist: thoughtful, caring, and incredibly secure. He seemed to love me. We were together exactly nine months when he called and suggested we go dancing. Ten minutes after I arrived at the club, he broke up with me. He claimed he didn't know what had happened, but he just couldn't be with me anymore. I left, heartbroken a complete wreck.

Women always insist they're looking for a "nice guy," but they waste no time running past one to get to a jerk/bad boy. It really seems they're drawn to guys who treat them badly. My most egotistical friends score with women like crazy, and I'm a nice guy who's alone.
