Page A3 Dear Deanna! Dear Deanna! I feel like my man lies about sex. When it’s time for inti macy, he rolls over and claims he can’t get it up because he’s impotent. In the morning, he apologizes by saying he thinks about me and wants to have sex but he can’t because of his problem. I’ve danced nude and dressed in Saran Wrap but nothing helps. How can I test him to see if he’s really dead in the pants? -G em ika: Natchez, Miss. I almost went off on a stranger in the grocery store. I was shop ping and looked up and saw my boyfriend’sjacket floating down the canned food aisle. He swore up and down somebody stole his coat. To get a closer look, I walked up and spoke to the lady. She had on his jacket with his name monogrammed exactly the way I bought it along with his picture on a key chain. What do 1 do about this? -T ressie; Milwaukee, Wise. Real People, Real Advice An adricc column known for its fearless approach In reality based subjects.' Dear Gemika: Greet him at the door wearing body lotion, high heels and a smile to see if this will help him park the car in the garage. If the engine’s still dead come together as a couple and visit his physician. The best thing going right now is Viagra. If he really wants to keep his motor running, this little blue miracle coupled with your pa tience and understanding will bring both of you long hard nights with plenty of fireworks. Dear Deanna! Men don’t tell this, but my lady friend has turned into a nym phomaniac and I can ’t handle it. She would rather be in bed instead of the of fice. She would rather be on the kitchen table instead of Dear Tressie: putting food on it. I can ’t get anything done and she’s turned me into a wet noodle. When I complain with fatigue or head ache, she gets violent and I have to have sex under stress. How can I help her? - Anony mous; Pittsburgh Dear Anonymous: Put yourself on a schedule that jives with her momentum. Then purchase a vibrator along with plenty of batteries and attempt to help her understand your con cerns. Let her know that physi cally you’ll accommodate her as much as possible and other times she can get close and personal with her new toy. Even tually, she’ll miss the warmth of intimacy and will slowly adjust back to a decent schedule. You did right by not making a fool of yourself in public. Your boyfriend has another woman and you either confront him head on or keep rolling dumb in the dark. If she proudly flaunts his photo, the encounter wasn’t a one-night stand and it’s serious if she’s wearing hisclothes. Tell your boyfriend what you saw, you want the jacket back imme diately, and the other woman has to go. If he says no, goes into den ial or lies about any thing....give him the boot and keep it moving. Ask Deanna is written by Deanna M. Write Ask Deanna!
