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 […]
Understanding Intimacy
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 […]
Not So Kinky
My partner has some ideas about sex that just aren’t a fit for me. He recently shared that his kink is being a sexual dominant. He wants me to be his submissive. I guess he’s experienced this in the past with a former lover and really liked it. I get it that it’s hot for […]
Is Sex Therapy for Us?
We’ve been married for a long time โ it’s 30 years this summer. Our relationship has been rocky at times, but it’s pretty good right now โ with one exception. When the kids were little, we saw a couples’ counselor. We learned to communicate better and that was important. Now, even though we communicate well, […]
Understanding Intimacy
Dear Dr. Jane, I love my partner, but our sex life is dull. We do the same thing every single time. I manage to get myself turned on enough to perform, but if I’m honest, I need to do a lot of fantasizing in order to make that happen. Sometimes, I think about what I […]
