HOLIDAY SEX

Dr. Jenni Skyler of the Intimacy Institute

Dear Dr. Jenni

I’m bringing my girlfriend home for the holidays. We’ve been together for eight months and have been having sex nearly the whole time, but my parents don’t know this. How do I negotiate the sleeping arrangements when we go home?

Please Help!

 

Well my friend,

Unless you were brought up in a belief system of no sex before marriage, my guess is that your parents have a pretty good idea that you are having sex. If you want your own room to share with your girlfriend, then I suggest asking for it. And if it feels too embarrassing to do so, then perhaps you should reconsider your readiness to be having sex.

Then again, it might be fun to sleep in separate bedrooms to build the sexual tension. You can steal kisses in the hallway, and caresses under the table. You can rise in the middle of the night and have a quick bout of oral sex in the backseat of the car. Overall, you should take advantage of the forced separation to foster the sexual anticipation.

-Dr. Jenni
