Leftos stands for LEssons For The Opposite Sex and describes itself as a free service to open up communication between men and women. Although there are many dating and relationship advice websites, this one does seem as if it could help men and women gain an understanding of each other by letting members ask the questions most on their mind and get responses from men and women. The participants stay anonymous so the questions and answers are particularly open and revealing. Anything that helps men and women understand each other better has got to be a good thing as we never quite manage it!

Leftos also provides advice on a range of topics under the tags Single, Dating, Sex, Relationships, Marriage, and Divorce. On each of these pages the expert advice is combined with the opportunity to ask any question and get the opinions and tips of other members. Looking through the questions asked it’s hard to imagine a subject that isn’t covered.

Are men put off by weight on women? How do you approach the most attractive person at an event? Would you date an obese person? Should you talk during sex? What do you do about adultery and do you mind if your partner has friends of the opposite sex? Is a trial separation worthwhile before going for a divorce? These are some of the questions, and I think I came up with one of my own that wasn’t on there. I get the feeling that whatever it is you’d like to know about how the other half thinks about relationships you could get the answer here. I found the answers sensitive and often surprising. My question is why this is about heterosexual relationships only – perhaps a missed opportunity, or is the idea that it’s to help users understand how the opposite sex thinks?
