Sex Advice From The French
BY SARAH SCHWAB
Amelie, 22
What’s the best reason to date a French person?
We’re sensual and open-minded. And we’re the best lovers in the world.
Are the French really better in bed?
The women are…
Is it wrong to date someone French just because her accent is a turn-on?
No. We roll our R’s. Just imagine what we can do in bed.
Last night, my girlfriend of five years suggested that we stop using condoms because it “feels better.” I agreed, but I'm totally freaked that she might get pregnant. I'm also worried that she secretly wants to get pregnant. What should I do?
There are so many options for women, so figure those out. I’d also be bothered that she wasn’t being responsible for her sexual health.
I just found out that the girl I’ve been dating for the past six months is a stripper. She said she didn’t tell me because she didn’t want to upset me. It does! Am I an asshole if I break up with her?
Clearly. Why don’t you make an effort to learn more about what she does? If it bothers you that much, maybe you should have been upfront about your insecurities right away.
After dating this girl for over a year, I finally met her parents. Her mother is a raging alcoholic and about a hundred pounds overweight. They say girls grow up to be their mothers. Should I be worried?
That’s a little ridiculous. If she maintains a healthy lifestyle, then I don’t really see what the issue is. The person you’re dating is obviously the person she is. She’s not going to change overnight.
I’m French. My girlfriend is American. Eventually, I want to move back to my home country, but she has no interest in even visiting. Should I break things off now?
Kind of, yes. Break up with her ass.
My boyfriend bought me a Hitachi vibrator to spice up our lovemaking — it gives me the most intense orgasms of my life. But now I can’t come when I have sex with him. How can I keep the amazing orgasms without making him feel inadequate?
Wean yourself off it. Use lower and lower settings. Or, keep it. It won’t talk back to you, and it’s tucked away and only comes out when you need it. You won’t come home to a messy house or to it drunk and watching football. And you have an orgasm every time. Hitachi really is the best boyfriend.

amelie can roll my Rs any day
Nic is cute.
"If he claims to be bi, then he's probably gay, and therefore it's not crazy that it bothers you."
That's very poor. If he says he is bi, then he's probably just that - BI. Not a full blown homosexual. I would consider myself bi. That doesn't mean I'm a lesbian. I like cock as much as I like boobs.
that second guy is so french looking!
the last woman is horrible
Aww... can I keep Nick? I loved the Shakespeare quote.
Diane gave the worst advice. But yum yum, give me some Nick.
im french. can I get Nick? pleaaazzz
I want Diane as my sassy, no-nonsense French girlfriend.
Diane is a bit of a dick. If guy says he's bi, and has sex with women, then he's probably bi. I'd only doubt the statement if he claimed to be bi but never, ever had sex with anyone but other men. Then he's just in denial, or maybe dating Diane.
Every woman I've known that's dated a "bi" guy has lost her man to the guys eventually. And yes, guess what, when you're in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to be in an open relationship(i.e. having sex outside your partner) bisexuals have to make a choice. It's not unfair, it's not being uptight, it's not being provincial. It's called wanting to be in a committed relationship. And I've never heard of a "bi" guy who could commit to a partner. And when push comes to shove, guys invariably win out over girls in their minds. Granted, my "evidence" is anecdotal, but I've come to the conclusion that guys who claim they are bi are deep down gay or too incredibly immature to be in a committed relationship and mixed up. Just saying. Anecdotal, I know.
yeah bi guys always end up gay and bi girls always end up straight. okay based on personal experience it's like 3/3 and 4/5 so the sample size isn't good but the correlation is REALLY strong.
diane rules, because she'd be up for anything in the right circumstances without making a big deal about "ooh look how up for anything I am" like younger/american girls always are
I don't agree with Amelie at all about French women being good lovers! My French husband married me, an American, because he couldn't stand how stuck-up and inhibited French women were in bed. This could be a turn on for some people -- in general, the women are always sophisticated, even in the bedroom -- but they never really let go. However, I have found that French men are much less macho and more giving than American men in bed.
I've known bi guys in committed relationships with women. Just sayin'.
I think Nick is the only one with pretty good advice. The ladies just suck, they have a few good answers but the gay bias and "like mother like daughter" attitude of Diane negates anything and Amelie's advice that he "should have been upfront about your insecurities right away" regarding the stripper is laughable. Uh, yes, because clearly feeling insecure is the only reason a person wouldn't want to date a stripper. /sarcasm Her generalizations about men suck too, there are plenty of women that are disasters at keeping the house straight, for starters.
Diane is right about the alcoholic mother because you can't escape the dysfunction caused when raised by an alcoholic parent. Doesn't mean you should automatically dump her but you need to determine if she is dealing with the dysfunction.
Conditioner in the facial hair will soften it right up. My BF has a beard and when we first started dating I had horrible beard burn! He conditions it in the show now and it's all good.
Diane is smokin'!
Diane is right about French people and their lack of hang-ups about dating. I'm dating this French man, and it's really nice to just "be" with someone without worrying about what stage of the game we're in and the subsequent actions we need to be abiding by.
Nick rockes mes chaussettes :)
Don't know a single heterosexual guy who doesn't think a bi guy isn't gay. That being said the wonderful thing about French women is their lack of hang-ups - a trait usually only found in older women in the U.S.
We didn't learn anything new.
I didn't like Diane's advice about the stripping thing. Women in the sex-biz often feel the need to withhold information about what they do for a living because a lot of men are ignorant about what actually goes on in her world and make presumptions: stripper will be a crazy tiger in the sack, stripper will end up a cocaine addicted, diseased gutter dweller, stripper is desensitized to intimacy and could never be faithful or sincere about our relationship, etc. The first woman was on the right track about all this. for some people, six months is about right for the disclosure of "big news". The time to share secrets is when you feel close enought to someone to take these risks. we women in the biz have been taught to be secretive about our jobs because of how society makes us feel dirty about it, even though what we do might be perfectly legal-as with stripping. i think that a couple in that sitch needs to have a big talk and hear each other out. immeiate dumping is a bit harsh.
then again, yeah, if you're too insecure to deal with a stripper, maybe you should just abort before you end up making her feel worse then the rest of the closed-minded jerks of the world already do. she doesn't need that from her boyfriend.
Diane is right.
Stop kidding yourselves ladies.
Bi-men are gay-men. No shame in that. It's simply how nature works with male sexuality.
To Cock or not to cock, that's the question.
Bi-men just refuse to take that step out of the closet for whatever reason and admit that they are gay but can not resist the need to be sexual with another male. Can you order a Diane online? You seem to be able to get everything else.
Nick is my kind of guy mmmhmmm
