About

AskTheOtherSex is a Q&A desk. You ask a question for men, women, or both. We publish it only after a man and a woman have answered.

This is not a live forum. Unanswered questions stay in a private queue. Comments, if enabled, appear only under published dual answers.

You must be 18 or older. Answers are editorial opinion from two gendered perspectives. They are not therapy, medical, legal, or financial advice. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. In the United States you can also dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. International resources: IASP.
