I really want to share my love of comic books with my girlfriend, but I'm afraid the geek factor will turn her off. What comics — ahem — "graphic novels" would my gal-pal enjoy?
Try some of the more respected comics in the industry that sort of transcend the genre — the utmost being Watchmen — and then some of the more graphic-memoir non-fiction writers like Daniel Clowes, Allison Bechdel — people whose books are not about superheroes.
What's the best way to pick up a Slave Girl Princess Leia at a comic convention?
You have to act as if you don't care that she's dressed up as a Slave Girl Princess Leia.

I want to name my penis after a superhero. What should I call my shaft?
The easiest answer is "Elongated Man," but I'm sure there are a bunch of euphemisms that are not coming in my head right now.
I'm a Batman girl, my boyfriend's a Superman guy. What sort of relationship hurdles can we expect?
Don't date. It's not going to work out.
I'm on a first date with a girl. Things are going swimmingly until she launches into a conversation about previous guys she's screwed. Is she trying to seduce or deter me?
Probably a little bit of both, but if a girl is telling you how easy is she is, she's sending you some sort of message.
I had a drunken one-night stand with my partner's best friend. I plan on confessing, but should I dime out his friend too?
No, one hurt is enough and the double hurt may be too much. There's a certain amount of humanity in not crumbling someone's entire world.

What's the best way to pick up a Slave Girl Princess Leia at a comic convention?
How about wearing a hot Han Solo outfit?
I'm a Batman girl, my boyfriend's a Superman guy. What sort of relationship hurdles can we expect?
My guess is that that would be like two opposing astrological signs. I'm a Taurus who often has really great sexual connections with Leos, but I hate them — I think they're assholes and horrible people. It would be like that — lots of crazy and intense superhero sex, but you'll never agree outside of the bedroom.
I'm on a first date with a girl. Things are going swimmingly until she launches into a conversation about previous guys she's screwed. Is she trying to seduce or deter me?
I don't understand why people do that or how that comes up, but a very good friend of mine says that people talk about exes and their past experiences to let you know they are of the past and that they are presently available. While I do think it's weird, I also think you need to ignore it, because everybody has slept with somebody before you.
I've just become romantically attracted to a long-time fuck-buddy. Should I tell him my feelings and risk losing a sure thing?
Eventually, I find that the fuck-buddy thing runs its course. I've had those expand into relationships, I've had those crash-and-burn. But I find that if you set up time before and after you do your fucking, you can actually expand upon it. I'd say risk it — if you feel that connection, they might feel that connection as well.
My girlfriend confessed that she wants me to choke her in the sack, but the whole idea makes me profoundly uncomfortable. What should I do?
The maneuver that I'm really in favor of — as both someone who has had it done to them and as someone who has done it to others — is if you do a little light pressure with the forearm on the chest and on the lower part of neck, then that can provide you with the sensation without things getting violent and uncomfortable.
I've always dreamed of bringing another gentleman in the bedroom but am unsure of my boyfriend's reaction. How should I propose a threesome without weirding out my guy?
Bring up the topic of what would he think of another woman in the sack and then segue. But as someone who's produced several sex-themed television shows, I will tell you that the threesome is usually the end of your relationship
What's the best way to get your mind off an ex?
Put as many penises between you and them as you can.
