I am a girl who sabotaged my relationship

My real issue was a store of repressed childhood trauma, and I was working it out on the closest person to me, my BF. We had something magical, and I destroyed it.

Dan, the old perv cleans my boyfriend’s toilet bowl with his own toothbrush, which he then uses to brush his teeth the rest of the week!

How many people have had an Oscar in their butt?

By Dan Savage | February 11, 2010
The same question plagues me every year—both at nomination time and when the awards roll around. How many people do you think have been fucked with an Oscar?

What is the link between Catholicism and sadomasochism?

By Dan Savage | February 4, 2010
One of the reasons given for the nomination of Pope John Paul II for sainthood is that he “whipped himself with a belt, even on vacation”, according to a new book about the pope. If that’s what it takes, why isn’t David Carradine a saint?

Trying threesomes

By Dan Savage | January 28, 2010
I’m a woman whose “super-hetero” boyfriend is quite shy and needs to build trust before he can open up to someone. Since I have gained his trust, he has revealed that he fantasizes about m-m-f threesomes.

Munches are for everyone!

By Dan Savage | January 21, 2010
In your advice last week to Lonely One Seeks Ties you said, “Munches are informal gatherings hosted by and for straight folks into BDSM…” I’ve attended various munches on a regular basis, and I’d have to say that over half of the regular attendees at each of them are not straight.

Some men like spanking big women

Fulfilling your (specific) urges

By Dan Savage | December 17, 2009
I don’t want to be a cheater, Dan, but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life having missed out on my “sexual prime” because my husband already experienced his.

Lovers who won't indulge their partner's fetishes

By Dan Savage | December 10, 2009
We have sex quite often, and I’ve always let it slide that she doesn’t want any part of my fetish. I don’t know what to do, because I’m at a stage in my sexual growth where I need to experience my fetish.
