Hot Stuff: Cut the Cute

DIVA's sex columnist advises a reader whose sweetheart is just a bit too... sweet

Dear Hot Stuff,

 

I can't take it any more. Girls are cute, cuddling is cute, holding hands is cute! Sex should not be cute. I'm seeing this girl at the moment and she is just too into CUTE. I can do romance and teddy bears with the best of them but lately the cute has gone viral, it's spreading. I have to draw the line somewhere and I've tried very hard to draw it outside my bedroom door. But it got through and she has taken to naming 'it'.


How can I kill the cuteness without killing my relationship?

Dear Nickname in Northumberland,

 

Cuteness killed the cat. Or was that curiosity, I forget. Cats are cute though. Who is to say that pussy (cats) can't be equally as cute?

 

I agree that there is such a thing as too cute though. Icky voices, cooing, lovey-dovey name calling… It's not everyone's cup of tea. As often as possible, I personally try to take my 'baby' with a regular side order of sexual fiendishness, I strive hard to match every accidental 'sweetheart' with an equivalent dose of white hot naughtiness.

 

But that said, Nickname, there's nothing like a fabulous cuddling sesh or a spot of hand-holding to bring you back down to earth. For though there is nothing as ground-breakingly shattering as a bit of mind-blowing bonking until you can't walk, surely what lasts is the feeling that is left behind; or the 'cute' part, if you will. Don't you think that your girlfriend's chronic cute is just her way of expressing what she feels for you?

 

It's a complicated one, Nickname. For though it's important for you to appreciate cute, as someone who regularly eats too much cake, I get the concept of too much of a good thing. And I never eat cake in the bedroom.

 

Let's attack the second issue. What precisely has she named 'it'? Surely it's better than 'it', Nickname? I'm racking my brain thinking of what your vajayjay could possible have been named that you find so offensive. Private part naming can be a great private joke and in turn a fabulous way of creating lasting bonds within the couple.

 

It might just be a question of frequency. A balance must be struck between strokeable kitty and snarling feline. It's up to you to strike that balance. Honesty is always the best bet. Talk to your girlfriend. Tell her that though you love the fact she's named your bits and you find it absolutely adorable, sometimes you would just like her to jump on you without the cutesy-bop prelude and/or discussion. I guarantee that an honest heart to heart conversation is the best way forward.

 

If that fails, jump on the icky nickname bandwagon by baptising hers in turn. You never know, Miley Cyrus and Just Beiber might be sickly sweet to look at but they could still make sweet, sweet music together.

 

Healthy relationships and sex lives need a bit of both sides of the coin, Nickname. And you know, fiddle around a bit with 'cute' and the result is a very rude word indeed…
