Savage Love: Asked and Answered

A lesbian in a 10-year sexless marriage wants to re-spark the connection… but is this a “too little, too late” situation?

Dear Readers: I hosted an โ€œAsk Me Anythingโ€ last week, where I answered as many reader/listener questions as I could get to in 90 minutes. Here are some of the questions I didnโ€™t get to before the buzzer soundedโ€ฆ 30s lesbian in a non-monogamous sexless marriage here. Do you think itโ€™s ever possible to re-spark […]

Savage Love: Size Peace

She’s ashamed of the way her body looks… is there any way to feel sexy again?

Iโ€™m a 41-year-old lesbian. Back when I was 26, I weighed 125 pounds and had a girlfriend. Sex with โ€œAmyโ€ was mind-blowing. Amy was exactly my type from head to toe, and she had more experience than me, so she really opened me up sexually. Our physical chemistry was off the charts. Unfortunately, Amy and […]

Coming Around

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: She was never able to have vaginal penetration orgasms before… but now? BLAMMO! What’s up with that?

Iโ€™m a straight cis woman who could never orgasm from vaginal penetration alone. But suddenly I am able to come just from vaginal penetration now that Iโ€™m reached middle-aged! This was never the case for me before โ€”ย I could never come from PIV all by itself โ€” and Iโ€™ve never heard another cis woman talk […]

Quickies

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: Abortion pills, escorts, and how to get laid at the gym!

1. You suggested stocking up on abortion pills NOW for friends in the future because they could wind up being banned. I naively thought a ban would never happen.ย Now, as you probably know, it’s on the verge of being banned nationwide any day due to the lawsuit in Texas.ย It looks like I’d need to go […]

Charades

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: Hubby keeps sending love letters to his ex, despite wifey telling him to stop. Can this marriage be saved?

I found out by accident that my husband is emotionally cheating on me with his ex. I know you are critical of the concept of emotional cheating, but Iโ€™m talking about long love letters explaining that he wishes he would have married her, how she is the best person in the world, how he will […]

Pegged As Bi

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: She’s okay with pegging his butt… but pegging his face, too? 

My boyfriend of six months wants to try pegging and Iโ€™m down. But he wants โ€œthe whole experience,โ€ which means sucking the dildo too. That raises a red flag for me. I know how this sounds before I even ask, so please forgive me if this question is insensitive. But does his desire to suck […]

Kant Say No

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: A sugar daddy wants to give him his entire fortune. Should he take it?

Letโ€™s say youโ€™re a younger gay guy whoโ€™s been doing ethical FinDom (financial domination) for a few years and youโ€™re good at it and you feel good aboutย doing itย because you take reasonable amounts of money, aka โ€œtribute,โ€ from your finsubs and you give value in return. In my case, I share sexy text messages, pics, […]

Dom Vibes

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: She’s into BDSM, hubby is definitely not. Can this relationship be saved?

Iโ€™m a womanย who married young (21) and Iโ€™ve been with my husband for seven years. Within the last year, Iโ€™ve realized that my falling libido probably comes from the fact that I am not turned-on by our boring vanilla sex routine. I get so little fulfillment that Iโ€™d rather not even do it. Iโ€™ve tried […]

Quickies!

Need your sex life fixed in a hurry? This edition of SAVAGE LOVE “Quickies” can help!

My fiancรฉ has a foot fetish, and he hates it. Can you tell him itโ€™s harmless and immutable? Harmless! Immutable! Also, weโ€™re living in the golden age of foot-fetishist representationโ€”from the conniving, murderous, unctuous Ser Larys Strong on HBOโ€™s House of the Dragon (prestige television!) to the sweet, goofy, traumatized Jimmy on TLCโ€™s MILF Manorย (trash […]

Case Disclosed

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: “My BF has undetectable HIV. How much should we disclose to future play partners?”

Iโ€™m a bisexual woman living in a major city. My boyfriend of about a year is HIV-positive. Heโ€™s been undetectable for more than a decade, but I’m on PrEP, just to be double-back-flip safe. I trust science and Iโ€™m comfortable with this, in part thanks to your clear and honest conversations around HIV. We have […]

Manners

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: “Am I being used as a pawn in my lover’s sex games with his primary partner?”

Iโ€™m a gay man and Iโ€™ve recently started seeing a guy in an open relationship. Heโ€™s intelligent, funny, and sexy. He told me early on that his partner is a Dom top, into kink (leather, latex, etc.), that his partner has caged boys, and so on. Moreover, with his partner heโ€™s a โ€œbratty sub,โ€ meaning […]

The Uncanny Valley

In this week’s SAVAGE LOVE: Can you guess which advice is Dan’s, and which was written by a horny robot? ๐Ÿค– ๐Ÿ†

Dear Readers: A lot of professional writers are freaking out about ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot created by the OpenAI foundation that can generate essays, novels, screenplaysโ€”any kind of writingโ€”faster than living/breathing/typing/revising human beings ever could. Whatโ€™s more, enter the name of any writer, living or dead, and within seconds ChatGPT can spit […]
