A Jamaican Nightmare That Doesn't Involve Bob Marley

Hey guys - my boyfriend is planning for us to go on a trip to Jamaica in a couple months and he's been dropping hints to me that he really wants us to stay at a hedonism resort. I'm not really comfortable with this idea and he tells me if I don't go he'll understand, but I'm pretty convinced that he'll be disappointed. What should I do?

For crying out loud, just go on the freakin' vacation and relax. Sounds like you need to get your panties out of a knot anyway - and what better way than an adult oriented, all inclusive resort get away on the tropical island of Jamaica.

Actually, if you don't go, I'll go with him. I heard they got them nudie beaches, and some of them erotic cakes.

Hi Sandra, thanks for the question. What you need is a solution that will allow him to have the promiscuous sex he yearns for but will also let you keep an eye on things to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand. Try approaching him with the old "I've got good news and I've got bad news" ...tell him the bad news is that you refuse to go on the trip, but the good news is that you've invited over some of your skankier girlfriends for an extra special party in his honour! POW! Aces!

Awaiting wisdom...

Don't dissapoint him. It sounds to me that he's a keeper.
Be understanding, and just go with the flow. Don't worry. Don't fret. I heard these types of resorts serve a continental breakfast, and that is outta sight!
