I think a lot of us are probably walking around with mild PTSD, anxiously calculating risk and making plans about what and who to avoid....

Dear Winona,

We’ve all been there. Your boyfriend has a raging boner, but you’re just not in the mood to do anything with it. But how do you tell him to tone that boner down and quick? No need to worry.

"Sex is about enjoyment. For both parties. I am firmly in the ‘don’t do it unless you find pleasure in it’ camp."
