"she's a Dom stone-butch top, I'm a queer femme sub),"

Yawn. Great, you choose strange sexual proclivities and then whine when you have an issue. Advice columnist stretches for views by posting your completely un-associational-by-99.9999% of readership letter..

"I'm a bi male in a long-distance, long-term, and hypothetically poly relationship, and I'm going to a speed-dating event soon."

WOW CAN WE ALL RELATE TO THIS GUY OR WHAT? JUST THE OTHER DAY I SPEED DATED ASTRONAUTS THAT LIKE TO CUT THEMSELVES.

"I am a 19-year-old straight male"

Let me guess. Your adolescent stature tells us that your query has the age-old answer of grow-the-fuck-up before asking us more questions.

"I'm a gay college student who's into bondage and kink."
Dan is so bored he spams his book for an answer. I think that tells us everything we need to know here:

Regarding WOK,
I think it IS a major conflict. This guy is supposedly DEVOUTLY RELIGIOUS (he wants to be an ordained minister at his church - i don't see how else that can be interpreted), but at the same time, he's into bondage, kink, or whatever. For fuck sakes, he can't have it BOTH ways. If he feels that his chosen religion (christendom) allows for him [as a gay man] to live a "perverted" lifestyle, then maybe it ought to allow for many other sorts of things too - such as abortion, gay marriage, equal rights for ALL races, secular education, etc. And if THAT'S the case, then maybe it ought not be called christianity - maybe something else like... humanism. Or just being down-right decent. But ofcourse, WOK's chosen religion does not allow for any of these things.
So, what is it with these christians who want to have their cake & eat it too, huh? It's a bitch to have to live by pious, stifling religious rules, isn't it? But these are THEIR goddamned rules! THEY came up with these rules & tried to make everyone else live by them.
So, WOK can either be a happy gay kinkster & have all his fun... or he can remain tethered, mentally enslaved to a stifling primitive religion. Or he can just continue to be a coward & a hypocrite & live this double-life & lie to everyone he knows.

Please wait...
