Dear Daisy
What is the best electronic gadget / accessory in the past 10 years? I have my opinion, but I was wondering if I was right.

Dear Compgeek,
You know that thing, that when you push the button it says a swear word? I'd have to go with that.

Dear Daisy
Why do humans sweat out of their arm pits?
Harry Pitts

Dear Harry,
Evolution, my friend. Humans used to sweat from all sorts of body parts, such as their ears. But as it turned out, the sound of sweat pouring out of the ears is far too weird to deal with. It's an evolutionary path that was cut short by people exerting themselves to death; thinking they were drowning, people would expend enormous effort attempting to swim out of a body of water in which they weren't.

Dear Daisy,
Is it fashionably acceptable to wear gold-toe socks with sandals?
Signed,
Fashionably challenged

Dear Challenged,
Of course fashion is subjective, and totally depends on the person. So I'm going to have to say that if you really don't know the answer to this question then, yes, for you it is perfectly acceptable to wear socks and sandals. And if it gets hot, you can take off your socks and put them in your fanny pack. I of course do not condone the socks and sandals theory, in any way shape or form. According to the research team here at Daisy Mae Laboratories, we have found that most fashion experts would concur with me.

Dear Daisy,
Are you as bemused as I am by the practice of anal bleaching, or would you get a wild hair and whitey up your asshole?
Ian

Dear, dear twisted Ian,
I have to say I do not understand the practice of anal bleaching. What are you bleaching? Ass hair? Cause I don't know if skin can be bleached in such a way. Also, I've seen a goodly number of assholes in my day, and they were all either the same color as the surrounding skin or they were slightly pink.
And think of this: Say you got your anus bleached, then you went a week without showering. Does the bleaching cancel it out? And what does bleach make better that plain old soap and water wouldn't? So, yeah, bemused.

Dear Daisy,
I am not actually worried but simply curious. When fooling around with my boyfriend and getting in contact with his sperm, my skin is turning slightly red where his cum has touched me. Am I allergic or is there perhaps any other explanation? I am twenty-four and male. Thank you in advance.
--SEX FLUSH

Dear SEX FLUSH,
It sounds like a mild allergic reaction, which is nothing to worry about. If it gets bad, you could think about wearing lubricated gloves to masturbate him, or having him wear a condom even if you're not going to penetrate. But at this point, Daisy would say it's not a big deal. If the redness does not disappear quickly or is irritating to you, make an appointment with a health care provider for diagnosis and treatment.
