I am a groomsman in a wedding this upcoming Saturday (January 5). I am also a die hard Redskins fan. When the groom told me the date of the wedding, I prefaced my participation by telling him I knew that weekend was the beginning of the playoffs and I would have to make arrangements if the Redskins were playing. Well the big day is upon us and the Redskins playoff game starts at 4:30pm; his wedding starts at 4pm with a reception until about 9pm.

My question is: am I wrong to purchase a radio with small headphones to listen to the game during the reception? The bride is not ok with this plan (so consequently neither is the groom…I think the bride is completely overbearing and terrible match for the groom but that’s a different story). I won’t be disrespectful meaning I’m not going to listen during the ceremony, pictures or other big events but I think the reception is fair game.

Is this a reasonable compromise or is there another solution? I can't tape it (no Tivo or working VCR).

My wife and I have been married for 1 and half years, dating for almost 8. I have been faithful to her and she has been faithful to me throughout our whole relationship. Our sex life has diminished over the years and we may have sex a couple times a month. I would like to have sex more than that (it has been discussed and is a work in process).

One of the problems I cannot get over is that she insists that I wear a condom every time we have sex. It is a birth control issue for her. Neither of us want children at this time but she is on the pill. She take it pretty regularly (she may take it late couple times a month). She is paranoid about getting pregnant so she makes me use a condom on top of the pill.

Truthfully, every once in a while I would not have a problem doing it but every time is too much for me. Any one have any advice on how to talk her into letting me go bareback?

I was having this discussion with one of my friends the other day and would like to get some input from the women readers?

Sexually speaking, which type of guy would you rather have in the sack?

a.) a man who has good sexual control and can last 30 minutes easily, but once he has come he loses his erection. In other words, he has a long refractory period and cannot get another erection for at least an hour.

b.) a man who does not have as good sexual control and lasts for for about 10 minutes, but has little to no refractory period. He will come but he either does not lose his erection or can get one in a couple minutes and is ready to go again. He is capable of this at about 3 times.

My wife and I have extremely different sex drives (mine is very high, hers very low). I have been speaking with an ex in the same situation (except hers is high and her hubby's is low). I have been friends with the ex for a while. If my ex and I would get together and mutually masturbate (not touching each other, just in front of each other) would it be considered cheating?

I am not really consider doing this but I thought it posed an interesting question and would like others opinions.

A good male friend of my wife and I is in love with another good female friend of ours. This female friend is recently divorced, but he has liked/loved her for several years. Whenever she is not married/dating, she treats him like a surrogate bf minus the sex. Recently she has started dating another guy and our friend is having difficulties being around the two of them (we have frequent outings together including other friends besides them).

We have a few weekend trips coming up and would like all of our friends to attend, but he will be sullen and withdrawn when her and her new bf are around. We do not want to exclude either one of them because of his feelings. How can we keep the peace without excluding one of them from our activities?
