HOW DO I STOP FANCYING MY FRIEND’S HUSBAND?

Sure, we’ve all had a questionable crush at least once in our lives (*cough* Bake Off’s Paul Hollywood *cough*).

But getting the hots for someone you know IRL can be a little awkward. Multiply that by a million if it’s your mate’s other half. ‘A lot of people feel guilt, shame or embarrassment about fancying someone they know they shouldn’t – but it’s common to get excited by someone who feels forbidden,’ says psychosexologist Kate Moyle, who adds that a friend’s partner isn’t actually a massive jump, since they’re probably pretty similar to your friend, who you rate.

Her advice? For starters, don’t act on it. (Do we really need to tell you this?) Next, get closer to them. Eh? ‘The more you know someone, the less exciting you’ll find them – the mystery is gone,’ she says. Masturbating to fantasies about them? Stop. ‘You’re sexualising that connection and associating them with pleasure,’ she adds. Find another focus for your fantasies – and give it time. By the time Bake

Off is back on screen, those feelings will have fizzled out. No sweat.
