Have a read of this week&#8217;s advice column expertly titled &#8216;Pavlov&#8217;s Bog&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h4>Help, I think my psychology student housemate is trying to train me like a dog! Every time I go to the bathroom, he rings this little bell he has. I thought it was a coincidence the first couple of times until he took out the bell and rang it while we were out walking on campus the other day. Adam, I nearly wet myself. Is he trying to condition me to urinate on command? What is happening?<\/h4>\n<p>I say fight fire with fire. If he\u2019s going to treat you like a dog then you should start acting like one.\u00a0 Start by eating his FYP the day before it\u2019s due (please note, this may take more time and commitment if he doesn\u2019t print off a hard copy).<\/p>\n<p>If this doesn\u2019t illicit the kind of reaction you\u2019re looking for, you could always lock yourself into his room armed only with his bell, his favourite shoes, and the largest plate of asparagus you can find.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Adam, I need help like right now. I\u2019ve just started seeing this girl. She\u2019s really great and we get along super well. There\u2019s no problems there. The thing is, I\u2019ve invited her over to my place for the first time. I told her I\u2019d cook dinner &#8211; she\u2019s really into spicy food so I\u2019m making the hottest curry recipe I could find. In the middle of chopping some chili peppers, I had to pee. I went to the toilet, took out my\u2026 well, you know\u2026 and then realised too late that I\u2019d forgotten to wash my hands after handling the peppers. My penis is on fire and she\u2019ll be here in an hour. What do I do?! It burns!<\/h4>\n<p>Ouch. I\u2019ve heard of couples trying to spice things up in the bedroom, but this is next level. My first thought\u2026 Have you tried a big glass of milk? I\u2019ll leave it up to you whether you use a pint glass or a shot glass, depending on the scale of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>My housemate and his new girlfriend are far too comfortable with their public displays of affection. How can I stop them? Every time she comes over, they\u2019re practically groping each other on the couch while I\u2019m trying to watch my shows. \u00a0I get that their relationship is still in the honeymoon phase and everything is still exciting and new for them, but there\u2019s got to be a line. I tried talking to him about it privately, but he just said they can\u2019t help it sometimes. Is there a polite way to ask them to stop? I will not miss Tipping Point over this nonsense again.<\/h4>\n<p>I say this with all due respect, so many of the people who write in here just aren\u2019t looking hard enough for the silver linings in their clouds.<\/p>\n<p>Turn your canoodling conundrum into a business opportunity. Have you heard about the wonderful world of live streaming? A lot of people make a pretty decent living out of it. Some folks live stream gaming sessions. Some unbox things they\u2019ve ordered on the internet. I\u2019ve heard there\u2019s even a market for couples being intimate (though I\u2019ve never seen any evidence of this myself, of course).<\/p>\n<p>Next time they\u2019re Netflix and Chilling while you\u2019re trying to watch your midday game shows, drop on over to OnlyFans and start making a little passive income.<\/p>\n<p>Best case scenario, the rest of your college career is paid for. Worst case scenario, you\u2019ll get your living room back. Win win.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have you got a problem you\u2019d like Adam\u2019s help with?
