Dear Dr. Jane, I’m a 47-year-old man who’s been divorced from my wife for two years. Our 20-year marriage was pretty much sexless for the last five years. My problem now is sexual confidence. I want to date, but after so much sexual rejection, my self-esteem is shot. During the marriage, I had some problems […]

Understanding Intimacy: Faking It
I have an embarrassing question for you. I’ve heard that a lot of women fake orgasm. I don’t think anyone has ever done that with me, but I guess you never really know. My wife and I have been together for about five years now. We have an 18-month-old son and I think our relationship […]
When Mama Ain’t Happy, Ain’t Nobody Happy
Dear Dr. Jane, My wife and I have been married for 12 years. We’ve got two kids โ boys 2 and 4. They’re great but they’re a handful. I’m an involved husband and father. I do daycare pick up and drop off, pack the snacks, walk the dog and scoop the litter box. I work […]
Understanding Intimacy
Dear Dr. Jane, I’m a 35-year-old guy who’s been trying to date in Bend โ which as you likely know isn’t an easy task. Lately I’ve been seeing a new woman who I met on one of the apps. It’s gone a whole lot better than any connection I’ve had dating here in the past. […]
Understanding Intimacy
Dear Dr. Jane I’m in love with my wife. We’ve been together for over 11 years, are best friends and have two great kids. The problem is that when we’re home and the kids are anywhere near us โ even in their rooms on the other side of the house โ she won’t have anything […]

Dear Dr. Jane, Valentine’s Day is coming up and I have to admit that I’m not looking forward to it. I love my boyfriend. He’s a great guy and we’re best friends. I think he even has a ring for me. He’s thoughtful and romantic โ gives me a dozen red roses every year on […]
Understanding Intimacy
I hate to say this, but I’m bored with sex. Not all sex, just the sex that I’ve been having with my wife. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not having an affair. I’m just ready for something really new with her. I have a beautiful wife, but sometimes when she offers to do it, I […]
Understanding Intimacy
My wife is really into the holidays. We celebrate Christmas in a very big way. She says she loves the whole thing – the decorating, shopping, wrapping, even getting boxes ready to ship. I try to believe her, but she seems incredibly stressed from Thanksgiving til Christmas. This means that she doesn’t have any energy […]
Understanding Intimacy
I‘m in the middle of a breakup with my boyfriend of three years. We’ve been having problems all year, but this happened after a sex fight. We never discussed it afterwards and didn’t get closure. I wanted to talk about what happened, how we feel and how we’re going to relate to each other now. […]
Understanding Intimacy
My wife and I have a good enough relationship, but we’d like to spice things up a little. She was talking with a friend about intimacy the other day and her friend mentioned sex toys. She thinks that we should get a vibrator. I’m all for making things better in the bedroom, but I wonder […]
