Your response to Sick and Tired of Being Used, who complained about women who accept his “friendly back rubs” but aren’t interested in sex, was not the best answer. Mind if I give it a shot?
Thanks for sharing, OAWISL, but I stand by my original advice: Men should give back rubs only to women they’re already having sex with, and vice versa. I also believe that back rubs should be outsourced as soon as possible, i.e., you’re better off hiring a professional to rub your lover’s back. Pros give better massages, and unlike our needy lovers, pros don’t expect you to give them a massage in return.

Here’s your letter, SJ, although I had to fuck with your words. I edited for clarity, corrected your spelling, and trimmed for length. Real writers, as opposed to wannabes, know that editing makes their work better. If being a good writer is important to you, SJ, you’re going to have to get over this don’t-fuck-with-my-words crap. FYI.
You were being used, FB, although I can’t tell you exactly why. Perhaps she wanted to be with another man without actually cheating on her boyfriend, or maybe she’s one of those women who enjoys getting a guy all worked up. Who knows? But even if you didn’t realize you were being used, FB, you had to be aware that this girl was sending you mixed signals. The best course of action when someone sends mixed signals is to ask for clarification. Had you said, “I want to make love to you, my sweet server” or even “What the hell is going on here?” before, during, or after that back rub and not the next morning, you would’ve found out the answer was “no” and “nothing” a lot sooner. Then you could’ve avoided a frustrating night of physical contact with a woman who had no intention of fucking you by sleeping on the couch or kicking her ass to the curb.
Your advice to “Mail Order Slut,” the woman who wanted to mail her panties to an E-lover, wasn’t exactly on target. You and your guest expert, Van, recommend 100 percent cotton, “in order to absorb [her] scent,” and that she work out in her underwear before shipping. Dan, MOS is a woman! Women’s panties come with a cotton strip on the inside to absorb any discharge. This is the wonderful smell us guys desire, and since most women discharge throughout the day, it’s not necessary for MOS to work out in her panties before shipping them.
