Forever vs. now

by Dan Savage March 30, 2022March 30, 2022

I’ve always thought of this column (and my podcast) as a conversation I’m having with friends about our love and/or sex lives after we’d had a few drinks. (Or, these days, shared an edible.)

Searching for answers

by Dan Savage March 22, 2022March 22, 2022

Drinking games

by Dan Savage February 11, 2022February 11, 2022

You don’t need to “dip out” to get off

by Dan Savage February 3, 2022February 9, 2022
