Q I’m a single gay male in my late 20s. I’ve met a guy I really like. We chat all the time and we’re attracted to each other. We haven’t yet had sex, but we’re planning to get naked and sweaty (and break out the ropes and blindfolds) over Christmas break. We “scheduled” this because […]

Q I love my wife. We’ve been married 10 years: Young punk-rock love turned into adult debt-ridden love. She’s been there for me, helps me achieve my goals, all that. But she’s let herself go, while I’ve gotten myself into better shape. I pride myself on being100 percent faithful, I clean, I tell her I […]
Savage Love

SAVAGE LOVE
Q I am currently dating a guy who is nice, funny, has a good “dating resume,” i.e. never married, good job, no issues. I have a good time when we are together and he treats me fine. The problem is that we have the most ridiculously boring sex. Super vanilla, totally predictable and I never […]

The Death Grip
Q I think my five-year-old nephew is probably gay. Most of the reasons are superficial (he says that Zac Efron is really cute), but I also have a hunch. If he is gay, it’s cool by me. The problem is my brother also thinks his son might be gay and he is not cool with […]
