Which Comes First? Showering or Passing Gas

DearSugar — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:00:00 -0800

Once the awkwardness of the first few weeks of dating subsides, your comfort level increases, which makes it easier to share more intimate moments. The things you do with your new guy require a certain degree of openness and trust, so tell me, which came first in your relationship: showering together or tooting in front of each other?

This or That: Calling Him the Wrong Name or Tooting Midromp?

DearSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 16:00:00 -0700

After getting out of a relationship you've had a dry spell, and you're ready to get back in the game. You've been flirting with a friend of a friend for the past few weeks, and you've been dying for the opportunity to get more intimate with him. On a particularly rough night - you think you might be coming down with something and your ex just called out of the blue - your crush asks to come over to cheer you up. Would it be worse if . . .

This: In the middle of your steamy make-out session, just as he's running his hands through your hair, you accidentally call him by your ex's name? It wasn't a loud mistake, but the look in his eyes as he pulls away is enough for you to know he heard you.

Or . . .

That: As you're having sex (for the first time) you feel your stomach gurgle and before you can do anything about it, you release a particularly loud fart? You'd like to disappear, but instead you're lying there naked and vulnerable.

Do Tell: What Would You Do if You Passed Gas During Sex?

DearSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 07:30:00 -0700

Sex and gas just don't mix, so if you know your stomach is feeling bubbly after a spicy meal, you probably have the good sense to save your intimacy for another time.

You can't always be prepared for things that come up, though (or out, in this case!), so what would you do if you accidentally tooted while getting it on? It's totally mortifying to think about, and I'm sure a lot of people would want to stop immediately, grab their clothes, and run, but some people actually think passing gas is funny. So tell me, what would you do if this happened to you?

Do Tell: What Part of Your Body Do You Like Best?

DearSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

It seems like many of you have the same insecurity about your bodies that I do - my stomach, grr! Since we are so quick to self-deprecate, I'm back to turn the tables and talk about the things we do like about our bodies. It can be somewhat uncomfortable to toot your own horn, but go ahead, give yourself a confidence boost and tell me, what part of your body do you like the best?

Do Tell: How Do You Deal With Braggarts?

DearSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0700

As I’ve said before, I think there’s nothing wrong with tooting your own horn every now and then - hey, we all have a right to feel proud of ourselves - but even so, no one likes a braggart. I especially have a difficult time with bragging if it comes from a close friend or someone whom I care about and respect. I already think the people in my life are amazing, so if they’re gloating just for the sake of looking good, it’s easy to feel put off. Have you experienced this? Do you have people in your life that like to brag? If so, how do you tend to react?

Do Tell: What Are You Really Good At?

DearSugar — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Perhaps stemming from the social beliefs of past decades, I always notice how modest and self-deprecating certain women tend to be. While modesty is a good quality, I think it’s OK to toot your own horn every now and again. In fact, we’re so well-trained not to boast that sometimes I think we inadvertently downplay things that are brag-worthy like a big promotion, making Honors, or running a half-marathon. Let’s live by the “if you got it, flaunt it” motto just for today, and do tell: What are you really good at?

Do You Know Your Chicken?

GiggleSugar — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:00:00 -0700

When I stumbled upon this vid, I initially thought I was watching a sitcom, then a music vid, then an advertisement, and finally, I concluded that I really didn't give an eff. This trip is worth taking regardless! To hell with knowing ourselves, it's all about knowing our oversized, trumpet-tooting, robot-dancing, anthropomorphic chickens. Sit back and funkify your Friday with the girl duo Cibo Matto . . .

Intimate Problem: Sex and Gas Don't Mix

DearSugar — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:00:00 -0800

You met this great guy, you've been going out for over a month, and you just had the best date ever. You know that the evening is going to end with your first time in bed together, but there's a huge problem - the grande burrito you ate for dinner is wreaking havoc on your stomach. So how do you deal with being intimate when you're bloated and gassy?

Since holding it in won't work - it'll make your stomach hurt, and it could end up coming out when you least expect it - here are a few other options for you to consider:

You could lie. Tell him you feel like you're coming down with something - it is going around, after all. Do some fake coughing, hold your throat, apologize for bailing on your sleepover, and tell him that you don't want to risk getting him sick. Chances are he's feeling airy too, so go home, be alone with your flatulence, and the next time you go out, you can eat something more basic so you'll both be ready for getting busy afterwards.
Take the honest route. Tell him that the meal didn't agree with you and you're not feeling well enough for company. Tell him that you want your first time to be really special, that you're really excited to share this with him, but you'd rather not do it tonight since you're feeling so crummy. If he's sensitive, he'll understand and not take it as a blow to his ego.

What else can you do? To find out read more

Go for a long walk after dinner and get some ginger ale. The walking will help get rid of some of your gas without him knowing, and the bubbly beverage will help to settle your stomach.
Brew some peppermint tea. It won't prevent you from tooting, but it'll help make whatever comes out smell sweeter (it really works).
End your evening earlier, but say that you want to surprise him and take him out for breakfast or dinner the next day. He'll be excited about the future date, and it'll take his mind off not being able to be with you that night. Plus it'll make your first time even more special if you both wait.

Do you have any other ideas? If so, please share them below, since we could all use as many tips as possible!

Flashback: Pageant Queen Disaster

GiggleSugar — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 08:00:00 -0700

Is this prima donna really tooting her horn to the Star Wars theme song? This is the wrong place and time to let your freak flag fly, but I think our lovely contestant knows that she doesn't have a chance in hell of winning this competition. She's not only tone deaf, but girlfriend ~~dances~~ waddles like a penguin (fast forward to 1:15). Star-spangled unitard, shoulder cleavage and decorative arm streamers? Takes guts.
