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.

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.
