As a redhead, I feel it’s my duty to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day with the best of them. After all, I love beer, I look good in green, and I never turn down a one-nighter with a cute ginger. Whether your pot of gold involves green beer or corned beef (or both), I hope you grab a bit of luck this Saint Patrick’s Day. If you see me out, say hello…particularly if you’re a ginger with a yen for green beer and big-boned redheads.
Dear Ruthie,
Gay men seem to have the market on flirting and being sexy and fun, so I’m hoping you and your readers can help me.
I’m a straight woman trying like heck to turn on my husband. After 23 years of marriage, it ain’t easy! I’ve tried everything from sexy lingerie to role playing to massage to watching porn, and nothing! Nothing seems to turn him on anymore. Do you have any hints or ideas on how I can rev my man’s engine?
Sincerely,
Horny Harriet
Dear Horn Dog,
You have been married a long time, and it can be hard (no pun intended) to keep that fire hot. If your sex life isn’t where you’d like it to be, communicate your concerns with your hubby. If that doesn’t seem to work, you may want to see a couples therapist. While not as sexy, a therapist could help solve issues in the bedroom … including some you may not even be aware of. Give it a try, honey, and let me know how it goes.
