Q: I've been with my boyfriend for just two years and things are slowing down. We don't have sex as much. We don't make-out that often. He doesn't get hard at the mere thought of me like he used to. We just don't seem to have that spark we used to. But, we don't fight. We get along and love each other, it's just that gotten dull and routine.

-Bored in Brooklyn

A: Here's your chemistry lesson for the day: When we embark on a new relationship our brains release endorphins that give us a feeling of being high on love. It's why, when we first hook-up with a new love interest, we want to have sex all the time, get hard or wet at the mere thought of our partners, and our hearts literally skip a beat every time he/she walks in the room. From a biological standpoint, that can't last forever. If you're lucky it'll last around a year, but for most this stage lasts just a few months. Just accept that as fact. The feelings we associate with the first stages of love are merely the result of an endorphin brain bath.

Once the bath runs dry, and this initial stage is over, you'll need to put a little more work in to keep your love life afloat. Instead of wondering why you're not stimulated by the slightest touch or glance, you need to create stimulating situations. It's time to step it up. Maybe he was excited at the sight of you in a tank top and his boxer briefs, but 18 months on that's probably not going to cut it anymore. Try something sexier (lingerie), kinkier (a dominatrix outfit) or go the fantasy route (naughty school girl outfits always do the trick). Put some spontaneity into your bag of tricks. I'm sure he'll get hard if you go down on him while he's driving or offer him a little al fresco fun (though the police may not be so keen on either of these suggestions, a little risk goes a long way). Or try a make-out session in the closet of your home and pretend you're kids playing "7 Minutes in Heaven." Give him a message with a happy ending. Go for a quickie. Do anything new! Mix it up!



Q: My boyfriend cheated on me once early in our relationship. It was technically before we made it exclusive and before we told each other "I love you." I just found out about it now, a year into our relationship. I never mistrusted him before, but now that I found out it's all I can think about. How do I get past this?

-Scorned in San Francisco

A: Technically, you weren't exclusive so it's not cheating. It's as simple as that. Sure, it hurts, but get over it. If you can't forgive him and move on, then get out now. You're going to make yourself and him miserable if you hang onto this forever.



Q: My girlfriend looks like a SuicideGirl and I love her look. She gets dressed up in her sexy little outfits every time we go out and spends hours doing her hair and makeup. But, when it's just her and I, she often wears no makeup and doesn't dress up. It feels like she's putting on a show for everyone else, and doesn't care how she looks around me. Shouldn't she want to impress me too? WTF?

-Pissed in Pomona, Calif.

A: Yeah, I agree to an extent. She should try to look her best for you too. We should never let ourselves go just because we're comfortable in a relationship. That's when bad things happen. But, cut her some slack. Women also want our guys to love us for just us and be okay if we have a day when our hair is in a ponytail and we're in just jeans and a t-shirt. Don't be so superficial, dude! Even glamour girls deserve a day off.



Q: I go to Comic-Con in San Diego in July every year, and every year I dress up. I have a great Spock costume, but this is her first time going and she doesn't want me to dress up. She says she won't go if I dress up. She thinks it's embarrassing. What should I do?

-Cuckoo for Comic-Con in Los Angeles

A: Dump that bitch! How dare she try to take away your fun? It doesn't sound like this girl is a good match for you. Find a girl who will dress up with you and be proud to play Uhura to your Spock.
