Love · Letter 47

He has named a certain part of himself

Fictional editorial letter

Dear Duck,

My husband has named his penis Sir Reginald and announces when “the gentleman” is in the mood. I love him. I do not want a third person in our bedroom, especially one who speaks in the third person. How do I tell him?

— Lady-in-Waiting

Dear Reluctant Member of the Court,

Tell your husband outside the bedroom: “I love you, and the joke makes me less interested in sex. Please talk to me as yourself.” He may think he is being playful; give him the chance to be playful in a way you actually enjoy.

Sir Reginald may retain his title, but he must surrender the microphone. No one has ever improved a kiss by calling a roll of the nobility. I have known several dukes and can assure you they were worse at listening than the commoners.

Your turn.

Ask a duck
