I’ve been seeing my boyfriend for six months and it’s going well, but I can’t cope with the constant compliments about my sexual performance.

I broke up with my boyfriend six months ago...The trouble is, we keep ending up in bed together.

"I've just started dating a great guy. However, during sex he stares at me, unblinking, really intensely. It's so off-putting. I just shut my eyes, but whenever I open them he's still staring. Do I just have to get used to it? Or avoid missionary position?"

My boyfriend likes to watch porn before (and sometimes during) sex. He’s so considerate and lovely in all other ways that I find it puzzling. I definitely don’t like it. I’d rather he was focusing on the intimate moment between the two of us than the acrobatics on screen.

I’ve started dating a really gorgeous, passionate woman. We haven’t had sex yet and she jokes about how buttoned-up I am. To be honest, I am worried she is right. I really fancy her — I can’t believe my luck. But I’m feeling so intimidated that I have been putting off sex with her.

Non monogamy is more common that you think, writes Rita de Brún. Shows like Wanderlust portray polyamory as a hedonistic trip of infinite highs. Why settle for monogamy, the thinking goes, when there are so many delectables yet to taste?

Sex advice from Suzi Godson.

I started seeing a new woman recently. We took it quite slowly at the beginning, and waited to have sex.

My husband is continually surprised that I don’t feel like having sex very often, despite the fact that he does nothing to turn me on. If we try to talk about it, we end up in a blame game. How can I make it really clear that he needs to make an effort to have a good sex life?
