DEAR DEIDRE: I WANT to ask my boyfriend about having a more open relationship but I am worried how he will react.
We have been in a monogamous relationship for four years – he is 28, and I am a woman of 27.

I love my boyfriend and we have a great and satisfying sex life, but I feel the need for something different.
In past relationships I enjoyed threesomes which were just no-strings sexual encounters.
These were either with two men or sometimes with one man and one woman – I am bisexual.
We have talked about threesomes but he’s not acted on it.
How do I raise this again without alarming him too much?
DEIDRE SAYS: If he has not picked up on your suggestion of trying threesomes or a more open relationship, I think you have got your answer. He’s not keen.
Think what it is you are really craving. If it’s just more variety, my e-leaflet 50 Ways To Add Fun To Sex will help.
If your bisexual feelings are too strong to ignore, talk it over with Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline (0300 330 0630, switchboard.lgbt).
