Dear Rose,
DEAR ROSE
My BF’s semen sometimes tastes a bit odd. Is there something he can do to make it better? SOS Dear SOS,
Remember that saying ‘you are what you eat’? Well in this case it’s not only for watching your weight but also when it comes to semen that tastes a bit odd or funny. Now, if the girls think they have escaped this embarrassing problem, you would be wrong, pay attention as this can apply to you as well. Your BF’s semen could taste funny because he may be eating some foods in excess. These foods can be: too much protein, too much coffee, too much garlic or onion, excessive smoking or maybe it could be too much stress in one’s life. The problem is not so much what it is, but more how you approach this awkward problem. Whilst I encourage people to be direct and straightforward in addressing this problem, keep in mind that most people don’t taste their own juices that often, so a little subtlety is in order. I would highly recommend you introduce to your’s and the BF’s diet more water, celery, fruit or even cinnamon in some form. And of course my personal favourite and pantry stock item... Pineapple juice! I never go a day without a glass!
My girlfriend recently told me she is bisexual, which I think is pretty cool and I’m supportive of her exploring new horizons (my mates of course think it’s every guys dream). Recently however I’ve started to worry she might like girls more than me and I worry she’ll run off with one of her new lesbian friends. Jed
Wow, I am hearing ya Hon; it is hard to know which way she might go! If it makes you feel any better it seems to me you have a pretty great GF who is comfortable enough with who she is and to admit to you that she is bisexual. It takes a pretty brave and worldly person to acknowledge that she looks at a person, rather than the equipment that they come with. You have to give her credit; she has been honest to you when she could have kept her bisexuality to herself and you would have been none the wiser. You need to trust her enough that she will do the right thing by you in the event of her meeting someone else, whether male or a female.

Dear Love at first site There is nothing wrong with you wanting to spend as much time as you can with a new love interest, especially in the beginning when you are getting to know each other. Whilst I have also fallen to the cliché of virtually moving in on the second date when I have met someone new, there is merit in being a little cautious for the first six months at least.
In the beginning you hardly notice that someone is messy and you are a neat freak. You might not mind so much that they don’t have a routine, where you might need a routine because of your work. You might not think that their music is so cool at midnight and she is hanging out with her friends, when you need to get some sleep because you have a big day at work the next day.
Dear Jed,
It is a pretty big thing to know that potentially, you are competing with other boys as well as girls when it comes to your partner. My Dear Rose advice is to communicate, communicate, communicate — and also make sure that you listen!
Dear Rose, Since we first met just a few weeks ago we have spent every night together, so we thought we may as well move in together, do you think that would be OK? Love at first site
When you first meet someone it is really easy to not look at someone’s faults, because you want them to like you. But there will come a time when you might have disagreements, and without your own place to go you may find yourself compromising on issues because you don’t have anywhere else to go. Trust me, I have been there!
Dear Rose,
In the meantime, you need to allay your own fears and insecurities, and talk to her about your fears of losing her to one of her girlfriends. Set some rules about what is acceptable behaviour and what is not and how much time she spends with her lesbian girlfriends.
If you would like to write to Dear Rose please email her at dearrose@fusemagazine.com.au ~ letters are placed either here or on the Fuse website fusemagazine.com.au
My best Dear Rose advice is that there is nothing wrong with moving in a few things to her place so you are comfortable, but I strongly suggest that you keep your own place for a little while, until you are absolutely sure that this is the one for you. Think of it as “your own space” insurance, you might not ever use it but it comes in handy when you need it!!!
