Dear Ann Landers,
have been reading your column since I was an eighth grader in Cheyenne. You opened my eyes about a lot of things, and I always believed every word you wrote. I still do. And now I need some advice. I don't know how to put this in words that you can print, but I will do my best because I am desperate and can't ask anybody else. I am a 21-year-old guy, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and I weigh 170 pounds. I am considered pretty good-looking and am normal in every way. What I am trying to say is that I have the same sexual drives as all the other guys, but from looking around in locker rooms, I can see that I am not as well-endowed. I have dated a couple of very nice girls, but I broke up with them be-cause I was afraid to get intimate. To be truthful, Ann, I am scared to death that I wouldn't be able to please a woman. That would be so damaging to my self-esteem that I am better off not trying. This problem is wrecking my life, and I don't know what to do about it. I have seen ads in sleazy magazines for men who have this prob-lem-powdered reindeer horns, crushed seeds from Samoa and salves from India-but I don't believe they work. Is there anything legitimate that does work? Maybe hormone shots or some kind of injections with silicone? Thanks a million. I'll sign this -Shortchanged in Wyoming

Dear Wyoming,
You couldn't have written at a better time. I just heard from a woman in Portsmouth, N.H., who speaks precisely to the problem you are worried about. Here it is:

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
