Where's the best place to pick up fellow Halo players?
The best place is probably the place you’re already hanging out. Halo players are everywhere. But if you’re willing to embrace your inner nerd, then try a gaming, comic, or anime convention. You’ll be neck deep in them.

What's hotter, a partner who you can kill (in Halo) or someone who beats you every time?
Oh, good question. I’d say one who is on par with you or can beat you every time. There’s nothing like good competition to brew respect for each other and give you that thrill of the chase.

Have you ever used a game of Halo as foreplay?
Can’t say I have, but it could be a good way to turn the tables on someone dominating you in a game of Slayer. 

During Halo marathons, do you ever forgo personal hygiene? If so, how does this affect your sex life?
Never. I can’t stand being stagnant. It’s important to keep fresh, so your game stays that way too.

My boyfriend has a really good relationship with his ex, but when they're together his ex flirts with him constantly. He doesn't reciprocate, but should I be worried?
I wouldn’t be. It would be a good idea to mention it, but be sure to be casual and fun about it. Remind him in subtle ways why he’s with you and that you can give him what she never could. Those stray thoughts you worry about will never cross his mind.

I'm a guy in my late twenties who picked up a guy at a bar and brought him home. He told me he was twenty-two, but I’m a snoop and after he fell asleep, I looked at his license. He's newly seventeen. It's not illegal in my state, and I really had a good time with him. Am I a creep if I call him again?
No, but it would be a good idea to keep it platonic from now on. The difference in maturity and what you expect from a relationship varies greatly from your teens to late twenties. It might be fun for a while, but it won’t lead to anything lasting.

I recently started watching S&M porn and I think it's really hot. I know my girlfriend isn't into it, but I'm finding it harder and harder to get off without it. Should I stick to my porn or risk freaking my girlfriend out by asking her to try it?
Porn is fun, but don’t make a habit of it. You’ll only be skewing your own expectations and desires. If you find S&M exciting, then it never hurts to ask. She may not want latex and zippers, but any girl can handle a pair of fuzzy handcuffs and a smack on the butt.

I've been hooking up with a coworker after hours, rationalizing it with the fact that we're equals at work. He just got promoted. Should I sleep with the boss, or risk the boss' anger if I end it?
That’s tough. If the relationship is going really well then continue, but you may want to give serious thought to how it will affect your job and how your peers will perceive you. Employers take conflict of interest very seriously.

When I go to a bar, I want to pick up guys, but I lately I've been looking for more than a one-night stand. Should I keep my uniform of tight tank tops and miniskirts, or wear something a little less revealing to show I'm looking for something more than a fling?
How you dress does manage a guy’s expectations and his impression of you. You can still be sexy and show off a little less. Less is very often so much more.

I grew up in a conservative religious home that counted sex as the eighth deadly sin. I have a pretty active sex life, but no matter how good it is, I always feel guilty afterwards. How can I shake that feeling?
I would talk to someone about it — a close friend, even your partner. Let them know about those creeping thoughts and maybe a good distraction afterwards (a few rounds of Halo?) will keep your mind occupied so those guilty thoughts never have a chance to surface. It sounds like something that will just take time to get through.
