QMy friend is a gay-identified FTM. He’s hot, he’s cute, and from above the waist you’d never guess what he’s got down below. We love to kiss and cuddle, and from my end, his blow jobs are great. The problem is that I have no idea how to reciprocate. He isn’t into anal (why would he be, without a prostate?), there’s no cock for me to suck, and what he does have down below doesn’t interest either of us.

I agree 100 percent with Buck—what he said, as they say—but rereading your letter, SFTSLAFI, I’m thinking there’s a chance your FTM partner is comfortable with his body but is painfully aware that you’re not. Up to a certain point, that’s understandable: you’re a gay guy, not a bi guy, pussy isn’t your thing, etc. But there’s a point at which your aversion to pussy—his pussy—becomes unacceptable.

What’s really important, though, is convincing your FTM boyfriend that you’re not going to freak out when you see him or touch him.

QI’m a straight girl who hates all the slang terms for vagina. Cunt, twat, pussy—first’s too vulgar, second’s too awful, third’s too cute. And vajayjay? Too stupid. All the best sex-organ slang is reserved for men. It makes me sad. —Sent From My iPod

Can you, as a gay man, tell me anything about the gay male community? I’d be grateful. —Curious About Gay Encounters, Yep

AIf he won’t eat your pussy, MOUTH, make him suck your cock.
