Halifax transit workers continue to resist demands from city hall that a new contract weaken existing protections for workers, and a Thursday strike seems likely.

Butt for one thing
Q Have boyfriend. Several months. Love sex. First time we 69, I notice he has a little turtlehead sticking out. You get me? Second time, he has bits of toilet paper stuck in that area. CAN I ADDRESS THIS? And how do I do it without giving him a permanently flaccid penis? I love this […]

My teen is gay. Now what?
Q My 13-year-old son came out to us this morning. He plans to tell his brothers in the next few days. We love and accept our son, and this news isn’t surprising (but when will the stereotypical neatness kick in?), but we do have some concerns. He has, apparently, already made the news public at […]

Feeling guilty for having a “kink”
Q I’m a man who recently started seeing a wonderful woman. Like me, she’s divorced. While my ex-wife left me for another man, my girlfriend’s ex-husband was controlling and abusive. Our relationship is the opposite—emotionally, psychologically and sexually. Here’s the thing: His abusive behaviour is my kink—spanking. In all my past relationships, spanking was light, […]
