- I have a pretty healthy sex life and hook up every now and then. I know how important it is to get consent when I am going to do anything, but it always feels super awkward to always be asking "can I touch you? Can I kiss you?" How can I make this more comfortable for me and for the person I am with and not make it feel so weird all the time?
- My partner really loves giving oral sex, but I am super self conscious about how I look and smell. When they are performing oral sex, I am so stressed out about anything being too gross that I can never enjoy myself. It is starting to be a problem in our relationship. What can I do?
- My child just came out as queer. We were really surprised by this and it is not the way they were raised. I think this is just a phase they are going through while at college. I am really struggling with how to deal with it. I still love my child but have no idea what is the correct way to respond. What should I do?
- My partner and I have not had sex yet. I really want to, but they have been reluctant. Even when we are doing other things I seem more enthusiastic than they do. How do I get my partner to want to have sex with me?
- My partner and I are in a committed relationship and have been together for awhile. We love each other very much, but they brought up the possibility of us being polyamorous. I feel like I should be mad about this, but I am actually sort of OK with the idea. I am worried about what other people might think if they find out or say that they just want to cheat on me. Is it weird that I am not mad about it? How do we even do this without destroying our relationship or is this the beginning of the end?
- I feel like I masturbate a lot. But I feel guilty about it all the time because I was raised being told it was a sin. How do I deal with this? How much is too much? Is there something wrong with me?
- I have Cerebral Palsy and use a cane. I still have a lot I want to learn about sexual expression and connection. I want to be more confident in my relationships and sexuality. How do I gain this confidence without resorting to hook up culture which doesn't work well for me because I want a more emotional connection?
- I have no interest in sex or hooking up with other people or dating. All of my friends think it is really weird. I see them going out all the time and always talking about people they like or want to hook up with. Am I the only one to feel this way?
- I am intersex. When is the best point in the relationship to share this with potential romantic partners? What is the best way to do it to avoid rejection?

The two questions that are selected for answering is: 
How do I deal with this? How much is too much? Is there something wrong with me? 
The topic about calling masturbation a sin is extremely controversial and nowhere in the Bible is it written that masturbation is forbidden. There is a great reason for this as the issue does not come from masturbation which is itself neither good nor bad, but it is the part of the human sexual fantasies. It is already made clear by Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:28. If one is struggling with this same issue then it is recommended to talk to someone. Always remember that God’s word says nothing about masturbation and it should give freedom and confidence to the individuals with similar thoughts (Tiger, 2017). 
Throwing light on the above-mentioned discussion it can be stated that masturbating is only regarded as too much if it gets way of an individual’s ability to get to work, school or be with family or friends and it is a rare issue. Please be informed that some of the people across the globe masturbate more than once a day, some of the individuals masturbate once in a while as well as some of the people never masturbate at all. All of these can be regarded as quite normal. Moreover, too much masturbation also causes masturbation addiction and it can become a cause for concern when it transforms into means for coping with problem instead of facing them head on. In other words there are some of the signs that indicate the fact that masturbating can be an issue for an individual. If masturbation interferes the ability for functioning normally in the daily life then it can be quite problematic. For example, if an individual is skipping out on work for touching themselves in the bathroom to an extent of reprimanded by their boss for being late,
