Dear Amy,

As someone who’s always desired close contact with the opposite sex, is it cool to jump back into the game if it doesn’t escalate to hanky-panky stuff?
— Romance Junkie Dude

Rom-Junkie: Alright, buddy, you went ahead and called yourself an addict. (I’ll take your word for it.) Now, we generally consider addiction to be a behavior that messes up your daily life and relationships.

Picture this – instead of craving attention and affection, you were fixated on gambling, puffing on cancer sticks, or chugging expensive booze. You’ve been clean for quite some time, but now you’re asking me if it’s cool to go back to your old ways.

Dude, seriously? Nope. It’s a big fat no.

And by the way, I might not be the best person to consult. Your wifey should be your go-to person. How about giving that romantic side of you a whirl with her?

Dear Amy: I was kinda moved by a letter written by “JN, MD.” Like this fine individual, I’m no spring chicken and got a couple of health issues that make me rock a mask when I hit up an indoor public joint.

I’m really vibing with your support for us mask-wearing folks.
— Stoked and Grateful

Stoked: Listen up, nobody should be throwing shade at anyone for choosing to wear a mask. We’re just trying to stay healthy and safe out here.
