'Out' child presents sleepover challenge
He may have medical issues that render sex challenging. He might have herpes or another STD that he is reluctant to disclose. He might have been the victim of sexual violence that he is not willing or ready to disclose.
He might not be into you -- or is seeing someone else.

Dear Amy: I'm so sick of political correctness. All of these people saying that the word "Gypsy" is a slur? What about Gypsy Rose Lee? Is her name a slur?
-- Sick of It
Dear Sick: For those readers who aren't into American musicals, Gypsy Rose Lee was a stripper and entertainer in the first half of the last century.
Gypsy Rose Lee was born in 1911. Yes, this stage name would now be considered a slur and yes, I suggest that you adjust. It's not that hard.
