SAVAGE LOVE: The Cuckening

He loves being cucked, she loves getting some extra “D”—but what to do about… JEALOUSY?

Iโ€™m a bi girl in a serious relationship with a bi guy, and said bi guy has a major thing for being cucked. Weโ€™ve had a few threesomes before, but only with bisexuals and the focus was on all three of us equally. Recently, though, we had a 2-on-1 threesome with a straight guy, and […]

SAVAGE LOVE: Long Time!

He likes to be tied up—she wants him to murder that kink in its sleep.

Long time reader! Iโ€™m a mostly straight boy in my early 20s with a new girlfriend. I say โ€œmostly straightโ€ because Iโ€™m into bondage and finding men who wanted to tie me up was always easier than finding women who wanted to tie me up. But I met a girl at a party early this […]

SAVAGE LOVE: Four Options

Ambiguous desires, nudist camp etiquette, and a new word for straight dudes who like dick.

Iโ€™m a 31-year-old heterosexual woman who has been married for nine years. The math: my husband and I got married right after university. Like you, I grew up Catholic, and as a girl/woman, all of the purity culture bullshit was foisted on me. Over the years, Iโ€™ve come to reject everything I was brought up […]

SAVAGE LOVE: Fading Away

What to do when a friend won’t stop talking about their amazing sex life (and it’s making you miserable). 

Iโ€™m a cis bisexual American woman in my 30s, married to a man. Iโ€™ve been living in Europe for the past decade. Iโ€™m self-employed, and itโ€™s a pretty lonely existence sometimes.
