Dear Diva,

I need advice on talking my man into having a threesome. Every man dreams of being with two women so why does my man cringe every time I bring it up? Do you have any suggestions for me?

One Woman Short

Dear One Woman Short,

*looking around for Ashton and the hidden cameras* Did you just ask me about threesomes? I had to search through my archives to see if I had ever written anything to give the impression that I’m an expert when it comes to threesomes. Hmmmm. Let me think about this one. It seems to me that talking about sex is talking about sex…period. Which leads me to question just how you brought the subject matter up. Because I’m thinking that if you’d write me and have no earthly idea who I even am, then you might not be the best when it comes to TACT. And speaking of tact, how about being respectful? If your man doesn’t want to have sex with another woman then stop riding his back. If YOU want to have sex with another woman then YOU need to be honest and tell him you’re gonna creep off to Club Magic this weekend and see if he’s okay with an open relationship. Stop projecting your desires on your man and get a grip.

Dear Diva,

You’ve said before that it’s okay not to have a lot of friends and that all you need are a few really really good ones. Well I have a “friend” who has a huge sister circle and I often feel like I’m excluded. She has even taken women into her circle that I’ve introduced her to. I often find out after the fact that they’ve gotten together and not invited me and when I ask about it, they just laugh it off and ignore my concerns. Am I just being paranoid?

Feeling Left Out

Dear Feeling Left Out,

If you look around and everyone is hanging without you….all the time….take that as a sign. The problem I have with your situation is 1) a true friend, or hell, even just a decent person, wouldn’t laugh and dismiss your feelings so easily. Now THAT’S rude as hell. 2) I would hope that grown women would be adult enough to say something to you. I’m not sure what they can say but damn. I don’t know you or anything about you, but I try to make it a practice not to give in to hive mentality. Consider it.

Dear Diva,

My boyfriend doesn’t like my cooking and no matter what recipe I try, he refuses to eat it. You talk about cooking a lot and I’m hoping you have some advice for me.

NOT Paula Dean

Dear NOT Paula Dean,

Let me ask you this….does ANYBODY eat your cooking? Seriously. You called your man out like you are a seasoned gourmet chef who wows the entire culinary world. If you offer to make a dish during a family dinner and it’s still there when uncles are propping up their feet and reaching for toothpicks, then it’s not your man….it’s YOU. So here’s what you do. 1) Ask the eldest woman in your family what she thinks of your cooking. She’s the one that has the most experience and will most likely give it to you straight with no chaser. If she says what I think she’s going to say, which is that you’re trying to serve your man swamp water dressed up with dirty rice, then 2) go to Google and search for cooking classes in your area. When you find one….TAKE IT no matter what the cost is.

Ladies I’ve said this before……just because your man or your circle of friends think you’re a phenomenal cook doesn’t make it so…..that just means that they don’t know good food.

I get lots and lots of emails every day. Some criticize me for random things that I say or do. The funny thing is that if you don’t like it here you can simply click on the red X in the top right corner and leave. But anyway, I also get a ridiculous amount of emails asking for advice and such…..specifically sexual advice. How funny. I’m not a sex expert. I’m simply a regular woman who is open about her experiences and activities. So I decided to have a little fun and answer some of the emails I got last month. Here goes… more…

Dear Diva,

I’m wondering if you would be so kind as to offer travel tips in terms of packing for two weeks or longer.

I am an accountant for a major oil company and have been traveling on a monthly rotational basis. So far, I’ve made two trips and will be leaving again January 12. I am at a loss as to how to pack lightly and smartly. This one aspect of my travel is driving me crazy because I know I’m highly intelligent but I can’t seem to get a good system going. You have no idea how long it takes for me to get packed. I swear I’m making a career out of it. Anyway, I gather from your blog that you like to look great at all times, so I’d love to know how you manage to pack all the essential items without packing the entire closet. Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.
