Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m a guy with what you would call very small equipment. It’s been a humiliating source of embarrassment for me, and it has held me back in dating. I eventually have to show what I don’t have, and the woman always looks kind of turned off. I don’t want to open myself to silent criticism anymore.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m a guy with what you would call very small equipment. It’s been a humiliating source of embarrassment for me, and it has held me back in dating. I eventually have to show what I don’t have, and the woman always looks kind of turned off. I don’t want to open myself to silent criticism anymore.

I’ve talked to other men anonymously on forums who tell me it isn’t the end of the world. Easy for them to say! I’ve had a couple of bad experiences already, and I fear there may be more in my future. What can I do?

Remedies online (suction devices, ‘medication’) look dangerous and are likely ineffectual. Are there women out there who don’t care about size?

— Big Guy with a Little Guy, Westwood

Dear Big Guy with a Little Guy: Some women care, others don’t. Women come in all sizes too, and some write me saying they’re unhappy with their mate’s large size, because sex with him hurts more than it feels good.

There are several non-surgical techniques for changing your experience to the positive. Some are simply different positioning that can change the whole sense of size and stimulation. Then you will know you can bring the magic and feel confident with a lady, instead of being embarrassed and apologetic, which only makes both of you feel awkward.

Check out psychologist Berit Brogaard’s Psychology Today article What To Do About a Small Penis, which is the most concise and helpful info I found in my research for you (wfp.to/whattodo). According to Brogaard, average erect penis size is a lot smaller than previously thought, mainly due to the fact it was based on self-measurement. It’s well worth reading and it’s not written in overly academic language.

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My live-in boyfriend has stopped wanting to have sex, and I don’t know what to do. He hates talking about our relationship and the last four times I’ve begged him, “Make love with me, please!” he has barely looked at me and mostly just sighed. Sometimes he comes up with a lame reason.

He used to have a great sex drive, and couldn’t get enough of me. I’m worried he might be cheating on me, and getting all the sex he needs before he even gets home at 7 p.m. each night.

He claims he’s having to work late because they are down several in-house staff. I’m thinking he might be going somewhere between 4:30 p.m. (when his work normally lets out) and when he gets home.

A couple of times lately he’s come home and his hair is damp, like he just had a shower. This isn’t my first rodeo. I know what that might mean. I feel lost and scared.

How can I get him to open up? But maybe I don’t want him to open up and blow my whole life out of the water.

— Loving Him and Missing His Closeness, Osborne Village

Dear Missing His Closeness: The two hours missing in action, the tell-tale damp hair, and his total lack of desire for you when he is home are definitely clues to another woman taking your place.

Looking the other way isn’t working for you anymore, or you wouldn’t have written. You’ve been pretending not to know for a while now.

Did you know some cheaters feel they are being true to their lover by not having sex with their wife anymore? This may be the case here.

Have you considered having him followed from work? A friend or acquaintance he doesn’t know could do it for you.

You could also just start making plans to leave — or ask him to leave — and tell him you can’t tolerate his absence from the relationship. It hurts way too much.

I know that seems like a tough thing to do, but girlfriend, it seems you already lost his interest some time ago! Breaking up this relationship would help you make the changes to have peace of mind and to find real love.

Inman launching new album at WECC

Ben Waldman 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Give Richard Inman a moment and a surface, and he’ll cover it with a story.

“I’ve scribbled down lyrics on paper plates, McDonald’s bags — whatever you got,” says Inman, who grew up in southern Manitoba but now lives in a three-bedroom ranch house near Twin Butte, Alta., so close to the American border that he says he can spit into Montana from his backyard.

“The other day I had a line in my head for seven hours before I wrote it down,” says the songwriter, who managed to remember the phrasing after driving home from a music festival in Idaho. “That certainly was lucky.”

Though Inman, 35, first starting sharing his Americana concoctions with crowds at Winnipeg’s Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club in the late 2000s, learning how to play his compositions with his band, the Mad Trappers, he has spent the bulk of the past decade out west, splitting time between the stage and the sale barn.

Europe anxious as ever about immigration

Kyle Volpi Hiebert 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

It was only a matter of time before immigration would again panic Europe. The issue has roiled the continent’s politics ever since its 2015 migrant crisis, when 1.3 million unauthorized migrants crossed its borders that summer. They exposed a broken immigration system in the process, triggering a populist backlash that hasn’t dimmed.

All those same tensions were reignited in late July, when 72,000 migrants converged on the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in just 24 hours. The city — a holdover from Spain’s colonial era — is Europe’s only land border with Africa, nestled next to Morocco. It was almost instantly overrun.

Dozens of people died in the chaos, while the reasons for the sudden influx remain unknown. However, virtually all the arrivals were sent back to Morocco almost immediately; some spent a few days in makeshift holding centres. None were recorded as finding their way to mainland Europe.

Still, the episode inflamed divisions in a region caught in existential limbo. Ultranationalist political parties are ascendant — yet low birth rates and stagnant productivity mean Europe’s future largely hinges on accepting more newcomers.

Dazed and confused stoner comedy hard to get right

Alison Gillmor 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Stoner comedy has always been kind of a dude thing. Think of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Cheech & Chong, Ice Cube’s Friday franchise, Harold & Kumar, basically any movie with the young Seth Rogen.

Screenwriter Dylan Meyer (Moxie) provides a much-needed gender swap in her directorial debut, giving us Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat as ride-or-die roommates Frankie and Molly. Dipping in and out of the gig economy and perpetually broke, they share their Los Angeles bungalow with two cats, a life-size cardboard cutout of Celine Dion and an enormously complicated “bong-a-tron” that takes up most of the living room.

Finally, finally, it’s women who get to be messy, aimless and really high.

Unfortunately, stoner movies — no matter the gender — are surprisingly hard to get right. The Wrong Girls is sweet and shaggy and intermittently funny, but Meyer ends up struggling with the genre’s common buzzkills.

It’s one thing to climb aboard rail-relocation train, quite another to pay for the ride

It’s one thing to climb aboard rail-relocation train, quite another to pay for the ride

Dan Lett 5 minute read Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026

Anyone who wants a brighter, safer, healthier future for the city of Winnipeg should really want the renewed hopes of rail relocation to finally become reality. And the sooner, the better.

Premier Wab Kinew announced Wednesday the province was going to forge a plan to relocate the Canadian Pacific Kansas City central yards and many of other the lines that run through Winnipeg to a bypass that runs around the city.

This “plan to design a plan” strategy was devised by a task force headed up by former federal MP and cabinet minister Lloyd Axworthy, who in 2024 was given a two-year mandate to find the best way to rid the city of some or all of its rail infrastructure.

For the record, Kinew and Axworthy said a relocation would likely take 20 years to complete, which makes this week’s announcement an important statement of intent, but little more. The sobering reality is that this promising idea has been proposed by political leaders, and then abandoned, for decades.

A message to Mark: Don’t. Back. Down.

A message to Mark: Don’t. Back. Down.

Judy Waytiuk 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

When is a leak really a trial balloon? While Mark Carney currently enjoys huge favourability in Canada, there are nine federal byelections pending. If he stumbles on his pledge of “Elbows up’ against the U.S., votes could go against the Liberals; millions of Canadians have utterly lost patience with Trump’s madness — and with Carney appearing to pander to it.

Now we lift the booze bans? Meddle with our supply management dairy system? So say “sources” in the Carney camp. But journalists can be manipulated — a galling truth. Set up a leak from a couple of sources. Two is standard; what’s often forgotten is that those sources, especially if the story’s a hot one, should be verifiably unconnected.

If a story is really hot, more sources must be scraped up, but the temptation to run with it regardless of that is enormous. Many a drool-worthy story I ran across in my early days at the Free Press and later at CBC TV news was spiked because those standards could not be met. These days, it’s almost impossible to meet that bar. Everybody’s connected.

Well, appeasement doesn’t work; we all know it. We dropped the digital services tax. That achieved nothing. American trade envoy Jameson Greer noted we don’t get credit for lifting something Trump resented from the get-go. The digital giants who imposed news-sharing bans on Canada in retaliation for the tax did not lift those bans. We still can’t share news links on Meta platforms in Canada, and we have not a penny in digital tax to show for it.

Opaskwayak restorative justice court to give offenders opportunity to ‘heal’

Opaskwayak restorative justice court to give offenders opportunity to ‘heal’

Erik Pindera 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

The Manitoba government, provincial court and Opaskwayak Cree Nation are signing a memorandum of understanding today to establish a community-led court focused on Indigenous restorative justice principles.

Justice Minister Matt Wiebe is in the northern First Nation, which neighbours The Pas, to attend this week’s Opaskwayak Indigenous Days summer festival, ahead of the signing of the nation-to-nation agreement after a pipe ceremony today.

“This is really a pivotal marker on the path to reconciliation for our justice system and an incredible opportunity to begin the process of reconciling the two systems of justice, that being the traditional Indigenous justice system with our colonial system,” Wiebe told the Free Press on Wednesday.

“I’m just excited to be here to have the opportunity to formally mark the collaboration, but really to listen and to hear from community about the best ways, the best path forward.”
