Slate Publishes 3 Reader Sex-Advice Cases in How to Do It Column

1 articles · Updated · Slate · May 17

Summary

  • Slate’s latest “How to Do It” installment answers three reader questions on libido mismatch, sexual routine and rebuilding trust after online infidelity.
  • One response says a woman whose desire vanishes when her injured fiancé cannot have sex may be experiencing sexual synchrony or empathy-driven arousal changes rather than a problem.
  • Another tells a man seeking more adventurous sex after 2 years with his girlfriend that consent and comfort come first, and that he must accept her limits or reassess compatibility.
  • A third says a couple can still recover after 4 years of secret dating-site and porn postings if both commit to counseling, transparency and sustained behavioral change.
  • The column closes by inviting more anonymous submissions under 150 words and previewing additional reader-comment responses for Slate Plus members.
