Dear Rosemary,
My husband was feeling a bit frisky when he woke up the other morning. But I wasn't. I rejected his advances, but he persisted and eventually said he was so desperate he would pay me.
I asked how much and he said £30 - everything he had in his wallet. I agreed and afterwards he was amazed when I made him pay up.
I liked getting the money - I bought myself a new blouse in the sales - but I must admit I also found the situation very exciting. Am I behaving like a tart?
Aggie Pratt replies: It would appear that you have stumbled upon your vocation in life. You say that you did not want your husband’s advances, which is fair enough, but then after the financial incentive is agreed upon you become very excited. Either you don’t want the sex but you find the money exciting or you only find the sex exciting with the money. I feel the former is the more likely and, unless your husband starves you of money, I would assume that you are simply a greedy bitch and probably frigid. If I were you I would try to find other men who will pay for your prostitution, you may as well make the money wherever you can if that is what you want.
Dear Claire,
I’ve been a transvestite for more than 30 years. My ex-wife first persuaded me to try on her clothes for a bit of fun and I really enjoyed the experience. This had nothing to do with the divorce, but I was left with quite a comprehensive wardrobe of women’s clothes.
I’ve been very discreet, but a few weeks ago my eldest sister, who has the key to the house, paid an unexpected visit and caught me in female guise. She was horrified and rushed out, though I tried to explain. She hasn’t contacted me since.
I have a younger sister who I see quite often, but she hasn’t mentioned anything, and I don’t know if I should come out to her before my older sister tells her. I’ve often thought it would be wonderful if I could confide in someone about my urges.
Aggie Pratt replies: Oh dear. Other advisors get wonderful adulterous relationships, obnoxious children and awful neighbours whereas I get all the wierdos. Two questions spring to mind. Why did your ex-wife want you to wear her clothes and are you sure that you gave no indication before she suggested it? And why has your elder sister have a key to your house? All right, that’s three questions but I don’t intend to get into a Python type sketch here.
Take control of your own life and don’t be ashamed if most people think you odd. As to your younger sister, just tell her you have taken up amateur dramatics and if she never speaks to you again so be it. Amateur dramatics can be pretty dreadful and she might be afraid that you will want her to watch a performance. Your eldest sister presents more of a problem inasmuch that if you are having an incestuous relationship with her you really ought to have told her before she found out by accident. If however she only has your key to come round and do your housework then you deserve all you get, which is presumably a nasty, dirty house.
