Annie’s Mailbox: Is husband’s kinky fetish normal?

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our mid-30s and happily married. We have sex almost every night. Here’s the problem: I found out this past summer that my husband is kinky. I saw him smelling my worn lingerie, as well as our teenage daughter’s and my mother’s. What makes a man want to do this with women’s clothing? I’ve never heard of women smelling men’s shorts. Is this normal? – A Dumbfounded Wife

Dear Dumbfounded: Your husband is turned on by the scent of worn women’s underwear. This is not an uncommon fetish. As long as everything else in your marriage and sex life is good, we wouldn’t worry too much about this, although you should insist he limit his fetish to your undergarments and leave his daughter’s and your mother’s alone. It’s creepy.

Dear Annie: “Awaiting Your Help” is upset that a friend is bringing her husband to the monthly girls’ night out. I wish my friends had welcomed my husband to these evenings. While I was sharing good times with my girlfriends, my husband was out meeting women from the Internet in seedy motels.

He gave me two sexually transmitted diseases before I found out. He appears to be a great guy on the surface, but underneath, he’s a slimeball who has lied and cheated for years. I no longer go to girls’ night out. My friends hate my husband and will not come to my house. I’ve joined a support group, but I miss my friends. My social life consists of a weekly trip to the grocery. I am sad and miserable.

Please let your friend bring her husband to your nights out. Otherwise, he might find another form of entertainment. – Not Living the Dream

Dear Not Living: Why are you still with this lying, cheating slimeball? Get counseling, and if nothing changes, get out.
