Dear Miss Adventure,

I'm a guy and my new, very hot girlfriend wants to go at me with a strap-on, and I'm not sure I want to, but I like her a lot.  And she's really insistent!!  I can't just put it off.  What should I do? - Holed-Up Harry in Cambridge

Dear HUHC,

Oh, give it a shot!  Miss Adventure thinks it's odd that people won't even try something new.  Once, she spent as entire year eating the weirdest thing on whatever menu came her way.  Ever have tripe soup for breakfast?  If she can stomach that, you can take it up the butt for your lady.  Life is short.  You might even like it, but you won't know unless you go for it.  Start small and take a hand in choosing the size and diameter of the dildo.  Learn your lubes and maybe a few muscle-loosening exercises.  And lest you think you're alone in this turn-the-other cheek experiment, find more help in the fine anal arts with sex educators Carol Queen and Robert Morgan as they use real couples to demonstrate their aptly titled guide, "Bend Over Boyfriend," available in book and video format. And they're not just talking out their ass, this bit of tushie tutelage comes highly recommended by the likes of sex writer Susie Bright and sex advice columnist Dan Savage.
