Dear Mistress,

I have a newish boyfriend and am dumbfounded that, on occasion, he’d rather receive a hand job than a blow job. I’ve spoken to my male friends about this, and they all agree: Why would a guy want a boring hand job that he can administer himself, when he could be getting a kick-ass blow job?

Signed,
Struggling Santa
