Hi folks! I have nothing to put here in the purple type, really. Therefore, I will use this space to plug some of the stuff I have been working on. Here are a few items to note.

Today's Funny Thing will be back up to date very shortly. In the meantime, there are plenty of Funny Things from the past month and a half.

The site I have been putting together for The No-Pants Theatre Company is shaping up nicely. It will continue to flourish, I hope.

The play that I have been working on as stage manager, Everything In Mist, will be opening in NYC on May 22. Information can be found by following that link.

Now your non-geckoplexian friends can view the Ask LadyJ advice column. That link brings you to a version of this site that doesn't require a login and password. Spread the word. Remember, the more people that come to the site, the more letters I get. The more letters I get, the more material I have to work with. The more material I have to work with, the better the quality of that which makes it to the column. See what an important role you play in the grand scheme of things?

Now, on to the show!

DEAR LADY J,
HI! HOW ARE YOU?
LOVE YOUR COLUMN. I'VE BEN READING IT SINCE THE FIRST DAY.
ANYWAY, THIS' MY QUESTION...
I'VE BEEN WITH THIS GIRL FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. THE SEX IS GREAT BUT I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.
I'M INTERESTED IN, Y' KNOW, DOING IT UP HER ASS RIGHT. WE TALKED ABOUT IT MONTHS BACK BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BRING THAT UP NOW. SO, HOW DO I ASK. I REALLY WANNA TRY THIS MAN! AWW YEAH.
SIGNED,
WAITING TO RIDE THAT HERSHEY HIGHWAY

My, how enthusiastic. Here's the answer, and it is very simple. You need to just bring it up. That's all. Either sit her down and come right out and say, "Honey, remember back to a few months ago when we talked about anal sex? Well, I have been in the mood to try it. Interested?" or, you could ask her during sex. During foreplay, tell her that you're interested in trying some new things, and ask if she is game. It is important that she agree to everything before you try it, or you could very well end up spending the entire night trying to calm down a hysterical woman.

The important thing is to be flexible. If she doesn't want to try it, accept that. If you love her, you will be able to enjoy sex without the bells and whistles. If you don't put any pressure on her, she may surprise you one day by saying she'd be willing to try it. If not, there really isn't anything wrong with vanilla sex. Moreover, she might be willing to try other things you haven't even thought of. You may yet be surprised.

A good lover will at least try what his or her partner suggests. If it turns out to be something he or she likes, great. If it turns out to be something he or she does not like, it is up to the person who suggested it to understand and let it go. Sex should never be uncomfortable for either party, and always enjoyable by both parties.

Again, as I have said countless other times, communication is the key. It more likely than not will not happen if it is not talked about. If she's as wonderful as you think she is, you aren't risking anything by asking.


there is a lady at work that i'd like to ask out but i've got no licence to drive her anywhere what should i do? i don't know if she has a licence or a car either.

Well, hmmm. That's a tough one. You could invite her to a place that is centrally located and meet there, then cab it back to your residences. You also could take whatever public transportation is available in your area. Maybe invite her to go bicycling with you.

The real question isn't how to get there, but where to go. You could go for a picnic in a local park. Maybe you could invite her to your house and cook for her. Or perhaps, and this is probably the most useful suggestion, you could invite her to accompany you to a remedial course in spelling and composition. She'd probably be so impressed with your willingness to better yourself, that she would immediately overlook the fact that you are a wretched lamer with no wheels.


Born and raised in NYC, LadyJ developed a quick wit and an acid tongue to entertain her friends, and cut down those foolish enough to oppose her.

This abrasiveness earned her a reputation as a heartless bitch in some circles, but those closest to her still believe she has a great capacity for understanding and caring, and a talent for advice.

On this website, LadyJ offers herself both to help those who ask her advice, and to entertain those who find her humorous. Those who fall into neither category are leftovers, and we all know that no one likes leftovers.

So, if you have a problem that you need help with, and the courage to accept her advice...

Ask LadyJ!
