Savage Love

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Sex advice column written by Seattle writer Dan Savage, with a Spin-Off Podcast, The Savage Lovecast.

In general, Savage (a gay man, married with an adopted child) is remarkably open and blunt with his advice. He has one or two Big No kinks (Incest and Scat among them), but tends to be open to advising gays and straights alike.

Savage has his biases, and more than one bisexual have given him a what the hell due to his prejudice against those claiming bisexuality. The same goes for asexuals and trans people. (He's gotten rather better over the years, though he still says some pretty bigoted things on occasion.)

Dan Savage also does a podcast, and is Editorial Director of Seattle's alt-newspaper,The Stranger.

The column is archived at its home paper, The Stranger.
