A Not at all. Any hottie who
scrolls through your head dur-
ing your solo time is just a fan-
tasy your brain is using to help
turn you on. If sex with your
ex happened to be freaky-deaky
good, it makes sense he’sQ Sometimes
I fantasize
about my
ex when I
masturbate.
Is that just
weird?
A Congrats on being one of
the smart 3 percent of women
who are packin’ rubbers on
the go, according to an Indiana
University study (c’mon,
other 97 percent!). But you’ve
probably heard that, as nice
as your wallet is, it’s not the
best place for storage because
chafing, pressure, and heat can
damage condoms, says David
Kaufman, MD, a urologist
in New York City. A chic metal
case like the Twiggy holder
($55, unboundbox.com) is a
seriously pretty—and func-
tional—alternative. Its sturdy
brass material keeps condoms
protected from water, high
temps, and other hazards, and
it doubles as a convenient con-
tainer for your birth-control
pack. Or XOXO by Trojan ($12
for 10, drugstores) comes with
an adorable light purple travel
pouch that holds two. Now,
carry on and hook up in style!QW hat’s
a cute way
to carry
condoms
in my
pu rse?
Sex Q&A
popping up when you mastur-
bate in order to push you over
the pleasure edge. There’s no
need to read more into it than
that, says sexologist Carol
Queen, PhD. “Many people
think that arousal over another
person is a clue that that’s a
meaningful relationship,” she
explains. “But picturing an
ex isn’t much different from a
movie star’s face f lashing in
your mind.” (So wait, she’s say-
ing our crush on Harry Styles
isn’t meaningful?!) The only
time these fantasies can become
problematic is if you find your-
self having constant, obsessive
thoughts about someone. In that
case, consider seeing a therapist,
says Queen. He or she can help
figure out what’s up and get that
person out of your mind.E-MAIL YOUR SEX
