Tuffy Luv Sez: THAT’S A LOT OF SEX
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’ve been with my boyfriend for about six months now. When we first got together it was because of a drunken hook-up and I wasn’t really into him. He pursued me for a couple of months until I decided to give in and give the relationship thing a try with him. He is the first guy I’ve ever been in a relationship with, and I’m the first girl he’s ever had a serious relationship with, and after a while we developed deep feelings for each other.
Tuffy Luv is Creeped Out
Dear Tuffy Luv, Before I got into grad school I met this girl during my senior year of college. She was a freshmen and had a boyfriend. I had got out of bad thing about 8 month earlier, so I was in no rush. Well the more I avoided this girl the more I ran into her; it was almost like fate. Eventually we become good friends.

Tuffy Luv Talks Confidence
Dear Tuffy Luv, I have a close friend in college who is seriously concerned about her likelihood of getting married. She’s never been in a relationship and constantly worries that at the rate she’s going, she’ll never get married before she’s 30! She’s under the impression that she needs to start seriously dating now (at age 20) in order for her to have a family by the time she’s 28.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Hags and Freds May Break My Heads But Skanks Will Never Hurt Me
Dear Tuffy Luv, This is a really really long email, but necessary for you to understand my situation. First off, I should let you know that I am on a sports team at my school. That being said, it is a very small team with about eight girls on it. We are a close team but have a lot of drama and tension, which gets incredibly exhausting at times.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Live Apart and Let Live
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’m going to college in the fall, and my love life needs major help. I’ve been seeing my girlfriend for about 3 years now, and it’s been shaky at best. We started out the first year strong, always together, resolving to not care what others thought, the usual…
Tuffy Luv Sez: Slow Your Roll in the Hay
Dear Tuffy Luv, My boyfriend and I constantly fight about sex. He’s my first boyfriend and I was a virgin when we met. After about a month of being together we had sex and in the five months we’ve been together we’ve only done it a few times. He wants it but whenever we do it, it still hurts a little and I don’t really feel anything…
Tuffy Luv Is Engaged…in Conversation About Being Engaged
Dear Tuffy Luv, My best friend got engaged on Valentine’s Day. I want to be excited for her big moment, but I can’t help but feel like she’s making a gigantic mistake. She’s only known him since November (he was a mutual friend of the guy she was sleeping with at the time) and has a long history of rushing into relationships with really sketchy guys.

Tuffy Luv Talks Class
Dear Tuffy Luv, I recently broke up with my boyfriend of one and a half years, and I’ve been beating myself up ever since. The first half of our relationship was blissful – we were like best friends, had tons of fun together and he treated me like a queen. But about halfway through our relationship, I began to think about my long-term desires, and realized I was unhappy.
Tuffy Luv Sez: WTF, FWB?!
Dear Tuffy Luv, Here’s my problem: when I first started college back in summer of 2007, I met this awesome guy at a party, though we were both drunk (and at the time I was a virgin). After making out we decided to stay friends. That arrangement has worked out great for both of us in the past (we both dated other people, we both broke up with said people, but we always had each other to “vent” to….and occasionally play kissy-face with).
Tuffy Luv Sez: Soulmate…Or Just Some Guy?
Dear Tuffy Luv, So my problem is about a guy. He goes to college with my best friend whom I visit kinda often. Last month, I visited and he was around but we were both with our significant others so I didn’t look at him twice. But this weekend I visited my friend and he was around and neither of our significant others were there. He was going through some sh*t and we talked for a bit.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Multiple Fishes
Dear Tuffy Luv, I have been seeing this guy at school on-and-off since the beginning of the school year. He’s a freshman, I’m a sophomore. At the beginning, we hit it off great for about three weeks, and then he felt that he needed to keep his options open as a freshman–which I understood and let it go. He came back around Thanksgiving time and told me he wanted to start seeing me again, and I agreed.
Tuffy Luv Talks PDA
Dear Tuffy Luv, I just started dating a boy over the past couple months and everything has been going really well. As of late though, we have started having little arguments mainly over the same thing: he doesn’t like public displays of affection. Like, any. We can’t hold hands in public and even if I haven’t seen him in days, I can’t even kiss him on the cheek.
Tuffy Luv Tawks Seks
Dear Tuffy Luv, I have been with my boyfriend for over a year and we are just crazy about each other, but we are still virgins. We were originally saving our virginity for religious/moral reasons, but we both changed our minds on that and want to have intercourse now. However, we each live in our parents’ homes and his family is super-religious.
Tuffy Luv Puckers Up
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’m a college sophomore – and I have yet to have my first kiss. It’s not that I’ve never had guys show interest, they just never seem to be the guy I am interested in. Not to toot my own horn, but I think I am a reasonably attractive, funny, smart person, and I have seen way less attractive, stranger people have relationships or frequently talk about the people they hooked-up with over the weekend.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Fantasy, Shmantasy
Last year I met a really cute boy at the bar on my birthday. I ended up getting dragged away by some friends and leaving with them instead of him, but two days later he added me to Facebook, got my number and started texting me saying how much fun he had with me. The problem was, I was really badly hung up on another guy who I now realize was a womanizer.
Tuffy Luv Is Just A Big Softie
Dear Tuffy, So this summer, I worked with a guy. I drooled over his good looks but didn’t really get to know him all that well until the very last week, where we met up for coffee. We talked nonstop for 3 hours and I found myself having a better time than expected! I go to a school in another city, so we’ve been texting occasionally for about…4 months now.
