'Sex is important but not at the cost of mental peace'
10 July 2013 7:26 PM GMT
I’m in college. I’m deeply in love with a junior. She’s in 1st year. I don’t know how to express my feelings to her.
Rajeev, Hyderabad
Just be brave enough to approach her and express. The age old ritual of a romantic love letter might also do the trick. Whatever way you adopt, I suggest, don’t waste time! Just express. Nothing to lose my dear. Woo her, make her feel special, gift her an orchid, take her out to movies, restaurants and just Bol Daalo! Best of luck!!
I have recently discovered that my younger brother is homosexual. My parents are not aware. I’m very nervous.

See my friend, don’t get nervous! Its fine! I understand, that ‘discovering’ this wasn’t a happy feeling but don’t
create any situation that will lead your brother to take any drastic step or make him awkward. If he’s really young, there could be a chance that this ‘phase’ will pass. But, if it doesn’t, please be mature enough and make him comfortable as this is his ‘preference’ and this is not a crime! Live and let live.
I’m 14 years old. My parents have informed me that they are getting divorced. I have been asked to decide on which parent I choose to stay with. I’m shattered. Help!

I’m really sorry to hear that but Neha, they must be having their reasons. You have to handle yourself with utmost care. Concentrate on activities that make you feel good - sport, friends, books. Think both from your head and heart and decide. Living with one doesn’t mean that you will be completely detached from the other. You can spend time with both parents. You can also opt for a residential school if you want. Cheer up girl, life is beautiful and I’m sure, you will be happy always.
My husband can’t satisfy me sexually. I’ve got involved with his cousin who lives with us. I’m enjoying sex but feel scared. What should I do?

Good to hear that you are ‘enjoying’. But yes! This case of cousin living in the same house is definitely a reason to worry. I suggest, please be extra careful. Nobody should get to know. Temporary joy shouldn’t lead to permanent problems.
Sex is important but not at the cost of your mental peace and long term happiness.
Is masturbation bad for health? Please advise.

Well, you haven’t mentioned details hence I’m sharing a general view.Masturbation is a part of sexual practices. In fact, most doctors also recommend it, not only to improve sex life but to also promote general health. However, like most things in life, too much of a good thing can be bad. Excessive masturbation can lead to symptoms like stress, fatigue, and memory loss.
