Hey Trinity,
My boyfriend of two years just moved in. But before he moved in we often enjoyed threesomes. Now we’re trying to be sexually committed to each other, but jealousy over a third person has become a problem, so we’ve stopped having threesomes. However, he likes attention and I’m afraid if he denies this flirtatious side, he’ll become frustrated with himself and eventually me. I don’t want him to be someone he’s not.

Hey Jealousy Jammed,
I hate to stir up the martini, but now that you’re both living together and trying to be sexually committed, you’re going to have to find ways of chasing and scoring each other. And you, my little selfless pumpkin, are going to have to let him learn “the art of commitment.” Since he needs more attention than you, make sure you always make him feel sexy, attractive and needed. And since you’re “trying” to be monogamous, allow for a few mistakes on the way. If a mistake happens now and then remember every committed, long-lasting, successful relationship must make room for mistakes. So, until you both can have jealous-less threesomes, he and you will have to choose your commitment for each other over a third delicious, sexy, hunky boy, this is not gonna be easy.
Dear Ms. Trinity,
After a few months at my new job I started noticing how many of my coworkers schmooze the boss. Even my own boss plays games just to get ahead with her boss. Don’t you think manipulation is unhealthy and ridiculous? Or should I join the real world?

Dear Work Worries,
Everyone should have morals and ethics when it comes to work. But, honey, in the real world a little healthy “over” kindness (wink, wink) wouldn’t hurt your climb up the ladder to success. See my cartoon for another tip!
Dearest Trinity,
I’ve decided to use the internet to find a boyfriend. But how can I know if someone is telling the truth about who they really are? Any advice is appreciated.

Dearest New Born,
I applaud you for taking your life by the keyboard. Internet dating is very much like blind dating, which means you’ll never really know who that other person is until you start dating. Then you’ll find out all the troubles — I mean challenges — that come with meeting and dating. Your lesson as an internet dater is to take risks, follow your intuition and unlock your chastity belt (or at least open your emails). And, sweetie, if you find yourself in uncomfortable and confusing situations — then don’t worry. I wake up everyday that way.
Hello Trinity,
I was hoping you would answer my long awaited question, “How does someone go about hiring an escort?”
Escort In Need, Chicago, Ill.
Hello In Need,
That’s easy — I mean difficult. After spending months researching bars and street corners — I mean books and service ads — baby here are:
Trinity’s Tempting Tips For Hiring A Sex Worker (Escort or Prostitute)
1. Do not look on the streets. Look in local gay/alternative newspapers.
2. Ask questions and be very specific about your needs. You’ll be thankful later.
3. Call and talk to a few people. It’s your money, so spend it wisely.
4. Never prepay or mail money — ever! And never pay with a personal check!
5. If you invite someone home, make sure it’s just as easy to have him/her leave.
6. Put your valuables away. Everyone has a price for being dishonest.
7. If you’re going to videotape someone, share that information first.
8. Respecting your escort always means protecting each other’s health.
9. Having all your fantasies fulfilled can be addictive, so keep your wits about yourself.
10. And, lastly, easy come easy go. So make the hour last.
Don’t let your answers go unanswered!
