My fiance and I are having sex issues and I brought it up to him today. He ejaculates immediately and sex for me is horrid. I try all different positions, but he can literally just touch me and that's it. We do only see each other every two weeks, but the last few times he came to visit I have not even wanted to sleep together. I'm not one for sex-only relationship, but I'm definitely missing out on one. Also, he never masturbates. MICHELLE ANSWERS: Here are my suggestions: KJHK CALLERS ASKS: Given the fact you do live apart from each other, coupled with what sounds to me like your adventurous and passionate spirit for satisfying sex, may be contributing to insecurity with his fast climax. Unfortunately, this insecurity and inability to satisfy you will only maximize the issues and frustrations A satisfying sexual relationship with your partner is vital to a healthy and happy relationship. I understand your desire to encourage one with your partner, so let's make this a positive conversation for the both of you. 1. Since you live apart, try incorporating phone or Skype sex on a regular basis. He will have to masturbate! This way, he can get used to his body, the sensations, and ways to control ejaculation. Also, have him practice Kegel exercises. Strengthening the pelvic muscle can help to control ejaculation as well. 2. Try extended foreplay (sensual massage, bathing, oral sex, mutual masturbation, strip tease). Take your mind off of intercourse and allow for exploration of sexual stimulation through other means!

She studied sexuality psychology and communication studies at KU and The University of Amsterdam. Sex in a marriage can and should be satisfying, but mutual effort is needed. Go in with a positive attitude and I hope he will catch the fever! If he doesn't jump on board with improving your sex life and doesn't allow you to help him get over his insecurities now, I'm afraid he never will. does ejaculate faster than you would like, don't give up and lie in frustration or tension. Rather, encourage a short rest period and try again! During this time, go back to the sexual stimulation techniques listed above. Get his mind off of the quick start and onto ways of stimulating and satisfying you! Oklahoma State/Texas/Texas Tech combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network. My only advice for BYU: Don't unpack your bags. For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member. Sophomore Amy. Wehrs said there is one way to tell her apart from her twin sister Kara.

"I smile all the time," Amy said. "Kara is more of a 'Let's get down to business.' Let's get stuff done' person. I'm just always happy." Kara, a setter, is a starter who sees more playing time than her sister, who is one of on the court "she's extremely capable," Rechard said. "she's a high-level pass and serve. Right now in the system we've got going on, her role hasn't been extensive as far as playing time goes, but I know if she is called upon she will be ready to go." In 'n last Saturday's first game against Valparaiso, Kara helped the team overcome its third five-set contest of the season, with a double-double of 52 assists and 13 dips. She said she can only have a standout performance if her hitters are play- But as they approached their decision, the reality of separation began to weigh on both of them. "We didn't care if we went to different schools?" Kara said. "But as the process got further along, we decided we did want to play together. We've played together our whole lives, so it was kind of important that we went to the same school." Edited by Lindsey Deiter Kara said she knows her sister can play great volleyball when called upon. "Whenever we having a bad day, we're there for each other." Amy said. "Whenever we having a good day, we're there to congratulate each other." "Anyone, who comes off the bench like Amy did is going to have great success Despite the differences in position, playing time and personality, the twins are always there for each other when the going gets tough. and always in a good mood, and Kara is a little more intense."

After the members of the Oklahoma Board of Regents authorized University of Oklahoma President David Boren complete control of the Sooners' conference affiliation, Boren specifically mentioned the Pac-12 as a possible destination for the school. However, Oklahoma's sights now seem to be solely on improving the Big 12. Boren said in a statement issued Tuesday night that even though Oklahoma didn't apply for membership to the Pac-12 this year, Oklahoma's leaders have developed a positive rela- SEE REALIGNMENT | 7
