Then he gets me something that I asked for...no surprises. How can I get him to surprise me, with something I would like? Answer: Well, as a husband myself, I can tell you, nothing is more nerve-racking than trying to find the perfect gift for your spouse. Yep, I said perfect gift. Why?

A lot of you want to turn your guy on. But, not everyone wants to talk about big, throbbing organs and things you'd only hear in a porn flick. You want it to be sensual as much as sexual.

So, what do you say to drive a man wild without sounding cheesy, or like a sailor on shore leave? And how? Whisper. You know why they call 'em "sweet nothings"? Because you ... Read More ...

When you get to your mid-20's, a funny thing starts to happen. Your friends start to change. They stop saying "I" and start saying "we." You get invited over on Sundays for brunch instead of for football. And they're buying artwork instead of posters. Yeah. They all start getting married. It's like a cult. Instead of handing out flowers at the airport, they're handing out florists' business cards and pictures of their receptions. You've rented more tuxedos or bought more bridesmaid dresses in the past year than you have in the past 10. Every weekend from Memorial Day to Halloween ... Read More ...

So, women ask me all the time: "What are guys looking for in a woman?" Well, not really. But they're asking somebody. And I feel compelled to answer. Now, I'm not speaking for all guys, just the ones who are like me - the North American Average Joe. It's no mystery, ladies. I mean, you don't have to be Indiana Jones to find the answers. We're pretty simple creatures, often confused by complicated things like "feelings." Some will say guys want a hot bod. Others will say we're all looking for a mother figure. And another group subscribes to the ... Read More ...

Love...well, it's exciting and new. Come aboard, we're expecting you! OOPS. Sorry. That's the Love BOAT. Nevermind. What do I think of love? Hmmm. Love is the most powerful force on the planet. People have fought and died for love. People have given up everything for love. They write songs about it, movies, TV shows, books and poems. For crying out loud, it's the only emotion with its own holiday. Love can make you higher than any drug, but can also make you feel like you got kicked in the gut. Love can make you do some pretty stupid things, ... Read More ...

Question I am a female and I love my boyfriend very much, but when we kiss I feel like I've been slobbered on by a huge dog. What should I do and how should I go about telling him to stop drooling all over me? Thank you. ~ Joy Kwame's Answer: Joy, I hear ya. It's great when your boyfriend is drooling all over you, but it's not cool when he's doing it literally. Sloppy kisses defeat the whole purpose of the kiss, whether you're trying to be loving, passionate, or sexy. It ruins the mood. Besides, in general no ... Read More ...
