On bedtime death panic.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
I’ve just recently come to the realization of my own mortality. In the time before I fall asleep, it absolutely terrifies me thinking not about how it will end, but that it ends, period. I know you’ve given this sort of advice before, but I can’t even get past this fear to the part where you realize, “This is it, enjoy it while it lasts.” I feel trapped by the...

On die antwoord.
dearcoketalk:
That video you posted, it had blackface in it. I don’t think that’s right, even for “artistic” purposes.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and deeply nuanced observation that despite any artistic merit or cultural context, satirical performances utilizing racially transgressive imagery might be offensive to those with delicate sensibilities.
Clearly, you have the moral high...

On more fun-sized advice.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
I just turned 18 and I seem to be uncertain about everything in my life. Is that normal? Yep. Get used to it. Better yet, get comfortable with it. It’ll make you less susceptible to advertising.
Where is the line between having style and being obsessed with physical appearance? Vanity.
Outside of getting a therapist and/or a puppy, is there any basic advice you...

On sex and anthropology.
dearcoketalk:
It’s really interesting to me. I just learned a lot about evolution and how it affects sex appeal today. I learned it’s actually how women evolved to want to be in a monogamous relationship, or have some sort of stability. When humans first evolved to walking on two legs, there was no place for the baby to rest on their backs, so women had to carry their babies. Because of this,...

On opening your relationship.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
I have struck gold. I found the most amazing man. I cannot even begin to describe to you all of the ways that he astounds and inspires me. We are deeply in love and have been together for some time. Lately I have been struggling with a conflict in some part of myself. It started when his ex-girlfriend moved back into town, or rather, I became more acutely aware of...

On only you.
dearcoketalk:
Fuck that. I want one man to love only me. That’s how you get appreciated properly.
Whatever, bitch. Sex isn’t the same thing as love, and getting appreciated isn’t the same thing as being respected.
It’s fine if you want to be monogamous, but my way of thinking wouldn’t scare the shit out of you if you understood the difference.
Call me ignorant all you want, but I firmly...

On forgiving and forgiveness.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
My dad had an affair with my mom’s (now ex) best friend, a woman who I grew up with as my “auntie.” It’s been about four years now and they are still together. She and I just cannot get along. We can be civil, but it’s really uncomfortable. I moved out of my dad’s at 17 because of it, and while I know it was the right decision for me, I barely have a relationship...

On an unhappy marriage.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
I’m not attracted to my husband anymore. I don’t respect him anymore, either. We’ve been married for four years, we’re in our 20s and we don’t have any kids. I realize that the fire fades, and that it’s hard if not impossible to keep up a rocking sex life consistently and long-term, but I actually feel mild disgust at the prospect of having sex with him. Intimacy is...

On a slow burn.
dearcoketalk:
So there’s this boy. He is very, very attractive, and he finds me to be the same. I feel no sparks when we hold hands, although I am desperately happy to not be alone. We always run out of things to say when we’re together. He does all sorts of extra things to spend time with me, but when he gives me roses I’m so much more excited about the prospect of having roses than him being...

On fun sized advice.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
Does size really matter? Yes
What is the difference between a “slow burn” relationship and a lukewarm one? Fire.
Do we still live in a postmodern world? I prefer Bret Easton Ellis’s notion of post-empire.
Would you allow yourself to be described as a socialite? No, I work for a living. To be called a socialite implies otherwise.
What are your opinions on...
