Bitch moan Another school year, another barrage of questions from frustrated, confused, bewildered students absolutely confounded by the world of sex. Never Fear. Bitch & Moan returns - albeit with a new writer to save you from your own blissful ignorance. This semester, Brian Bratichak fills the void left by Chris Tackett and joins up with veteran Jessi Crowder to field all of your relationship and sexual queries. So the first question, of course, has to be: "Who are you guys?" Jessica: As much as we'll all'miss Chris, I'm sure you'll be enthralled by what Brian has to say about your questions concerning sex, relationships and college life in general. I've been lucky to know Brian prior to writing with him, so we already have a nice dynamic worked out between us. Brian has some really unique qualities that most men struggle with. Not only is he a heartfelt romantic, but his sensuality allows him to be completely comfortable with both himself and other people. Basically, he's a stud muffin with great insight into both the male and female psyche. Brian: The beautiful Jessi is a veteran at giving advice. She is deeply intrigued by sex, relationships and all forms of intimacy. While reading this column, she may come across as a complete sex-a-holic. But deep down, she is a true romantic and very willing to share her vast knowledge with all of us. Each and every one of us should feel fortunate that we are taking advice from a future Dr. Ruth. After' my girlfriend and I fool around she complains of an aching feeling down there, but it only happens if she doesn't come. Should we be worried? - Dylan, Sophomore Jessica: You just described the female version of blue balls. There's a common misconception that women don't have this problem. But trust me, some of us do! Just like guys, if you get us all riled up with no big O, we're going to feel the uncomfortable after-effect. Finish her off or let her do it herself. Good luck! Brian: The only thing you two have to worry about is why someone isn't getting his job done. I'm sure you've found from personal experience that when you don't orgasm, you feel some pain for quite some time. The same thing is happening to your girlfriend. The best way to fix this would be for you to work harder to ensure that she is receiving as much pleasure as you are. The happier the girl is with the sexual experience, the more likely she is to enhance your experience At the end of last school year this girl and I decided to take a break over the summer since we live so far apart. Now we want to see if things can work out again this school year. Any tips for making things work this time around? -Mike, Senior Brian: The first thing that you need to do is to find out what her wants and needs are. Don't assume that what you had last school year is going to smoothly continue into this upcoming semester. She's going to want to know what, (and who), you've been doing this summer. Be sure that you are completely honest with her and be understanding and respectful of her decision. Maybe things won't work out for a romantic relationship between you, but there still might be a great friendship in the making. Jessica: I commend you both for being mature and realistic about summer and its consequences. Tips: be prepared for her to have become attached to any summer flings or old boyfriends she may have reunited with in your absence. Know that things change and she may have changed her mind about seeing you again. Who knows? Maybe she lost her hotness or a leg or maybe she's grown quite fond of her old best friend Sam... antha. Just brace yourself for anything she might throw your way. Kit Leffler/ Jayplay photographer Usually when our friends take our love lives into their own hands, nothing comes of it but embarrassment. But Allison Traylor, Overland Park, senior, has some matchmaking friends who led her straight to love. Last August, Allison and a few friends went for some cocktails at On The Border, where J.D. Nighswonger, Overland Park, senior, served as their waiter. The two ogled each other all night. So when they went to pay, Allison's friends handed J.D. a napkin with her name and number scribbled on it. A text message and a year later, the two remain happily coupled. When asked who wears the pants in the relationship, Allison and J.D. each smile and reply, "We both do." Ah, a match made in Tex Mex. -Katie Moyer Love source Men don't fear the tigress I don't mind being a bitch. I did at first. But then I realized there's nothing wrong being an assertive woman who speaks her mind. That's why the book Why Men Love Bitches by Sherry Argov is so perfect. Learn why men actually prefer a strong woman opposed to the woman who just agrees with with him everything, which in turn, sacrifices herself. This book gives you straight answers and tells women that it is actually OK to be yourself. You can pick up this guide at any bookstore or www.amazon.com for about $15. -Ashley Doyle
