Elizabeth Blasco and Chris Tackett
[Dear Abby got nothin' on us]
Amy, junior
My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and the sex is getting old. Any ideas on how to spice things up a bit?
Elizabeth: Communication is key. Talk to him about what you'd like to try. Or you could buy a book that outlines different positions and things to try for a more satisfying sex life.
Chris: It takes two people to have boring sex, so your inaction is just as bad as his lame moves. Take control and lead him into some new positions. And if you let him know you're not getting off, he'll change things up. Unless he's a moron.
The guy I'm dating is too weird sexually. He says really offensive things to me when we're having sex and it really bothers me. He's even called me "a dirty little whore." How do I talk to him about this?
Jill, senior
Elizabeth: Talking dirty is one thing, but degrading name calling is unacceptable. Tell him that you appreciate how passionate he is in the moment, but also explain that under no circumstances will you ever tolerate him speaking to you in an offensive manner.
**Chris:** You have two options: Either tell him to stop or talk dirty, too. But if you're going to talk dirty, too, say things that have nothing to do with sex, like "muddy shoe prints get me so hot!" But you should probably just tell him to stop.
I slept with my best guy friend and now things are really weird between us. What should I do?
Becky, sophomore

Elizabeth: Just give the situation time. Remember that the two of you were friends before and there is no reason why you can't continue being friends. Whether or not you choose to be friends with benefits is totally up to you.
Chris: Remember in Austin Powers 2 when Dr. Evil is talking about sleeping with Frau and he says, "Don't worry, things won't get weird." Well they did. And then Dr. Evil's secret underground lair is destroyed. So, there you go.
