Each week, The CSPH highlights information from some of our favorite sites that is relevant in the exciting world of sexuality. This week, we are focusing on five sex and relationship questions answered by celebrities on Rookie, a website for teenage girls.
Ask a Grown Man: Hannibal Buress (Comedian)
Q: How do I stop my boyfriend from being such a jealous butthole?
A: The reason your boyfriend is jealous is that he thinks he might lose you to another guy, so the way to stop that is just [to] comfort him and say, “Hey, I’m not leaving and stop being jealous,” and he’ll go back to playing video games.
Karen Elson Is Your Friend (Model, Musician)
Q: When a guy, or a group of guys, comes up to you [on] the street asking for your number, is there a polite way to say no?
A: You can always say, “I don’t give my number out to people I don’t know.” That’s super polite. However, in most situations a simple “no” is perfectly acceptable.

Q: How do you [tell] a man in a sexy way that you have never given a blow job and would like to give him one?
A: There is no unsexy way to tell a man you want to give him a blow job… you could write it in crayon in another another language and then translate it word-by-word, you could use Braille and run his fingers across it, you could put the words in reverse, you could say it Yoda-style, like, “Blow job want to have do you?”
Ask a Grown Man: Jon Hamm (Actor, Mad Men)
Q: Is it gross if a girl accidentally farts in front of her significant other? Should she feel embarrassed?
A: No, of course. Farting is farting. Everybody farts. Go read that book Everybody Poops, it’s the same thing.
Ask a Grown Woman: Paula Pell (Writer, Saturday Night Live)
Q: Do I count as queer if I’ve never smooched a lady?
A: I believe it’s not about what you do to define yourself as queer… it’s not about what you do, it’s all about what you feel. It’s about what you feel in your heart, it’s about what you think about when you walk around and see and meet people, it’s what makes your heart go fast, what interests your brain about a person. So it really isn’t about keeping score… I think you should not keep track of that if you can and try to keep track of how your gut feels.
