PET OF THE WEEK!
Everybody deserves a good home
Buddy is
a plush,
fl eece-
bodied 4
year-old
cat. He is
FIV positive
and has shy
tendencies
towards
foreign noises, but never towards people that want to cuddle.
In fact, this guy ALWAYS wants to nestle laps. Pop in S.A.R.A.’s
Treasures, ask for Buddy, and if you have a tranquil home,
contemplate adopting this gentle as a lamb soul.

LOVE
BY DAN SAVAGE
Are you incapable of concision? Your answers are too long! You blather on, often rehashing the problem
(unnecessary!) before giving four words (at most!) of (rarely!) useful advice. I’ve heard you say you
have to edit letters down for space. Try this instead: Edit yourself! I want more of the letters—more from
the people asking questions—and less of YOU.
Keep It Short, Savage, Expressed Sincerely
Feedback is always appreciated, KISSES.
I’m 30, happily married, with my husband since I was 17. First boyfriend, kiss, etc. I never had sex with
anyone else. This never bothered me because I wasn’t really into sex—but there have been big changes
in the last year. I guess I am having a sexual awakening. My sex drive increased, and I’ve started reading
erotica and fantasizing about getting kinky. I’ve also been having very strong urges to fuck someone
else. As someone who always had strong values and opinions when it comes to sex and marriage and
cheating, these feelings really confused me! So I found a safe and harmless outlet: Second Life. I cre-
ated a hot avatar and have been role-playing, talking dirty, and banging people across the world for six
months. I love it. I get to experience scenarios I fantasize about but would never do in real life. Before
your readers start pulling the cheater card: I have talked about this with my husband, and I have his
blessing. He knows I have an SL account and I’m having cybersex. Here’s where it gets murky. Most of
my SL friends haven’t asked if I’m taken in RL, and I haven’t told them that I am. I flirt as if I’m single,
though, because I’m worried people will treat me differently if they know I’m married. I do not wish to
meet or have RL sex with anyone I meet on SL, and I make that clear to everyone. I don’t do photos/voice
chat/Skype. But if someone asks me if I’m married in RL, I always tell the truth. I’m writing because I’m
worried about this one guy. The cybersex is super hot, and he’s sweet. He’s my go-to guy, and I’m his go-
to girl. He knows I have cybersex with other people in SL, and I have told him he is obviously allowed to
have sex with others too. But I’m worried our SL relationship has become a bit more. He leaves me mes-
sages when I’m not online, telling me he misses me and “loves being with me,” and I’ve said the same to
him. I’ve also made it clear I have no intention of meeting anyone from SL in RL, ever. Regardless of my
intentions, I’m worried that I’m crossing the line and being unfair to my husband. I’m also worried that
I’m being unfair to my guy in SL, because I’m sure he must think I’m single, even though he has never
asked. Am I crossing the line and at risk of hurting my husband/SL guy? Or am I just having some harm-
less fun that helps me satisfy this strange new itch that’s driving me crazy?
Second Lifer And Spouse Haver
P.S. It’s important to note that SL has not negatively impacted my RL sex life and, if anything, has made
it better. It has also made me happier and less cranky at home.
You’re doing nothing wrong, SLASH.

No lady should live
on the streets, but
Ruthie was found in
the middle of a road
in Cottage Grove.
Whatever happened
to make her end up
there has made her a
little shy around new
people. Once she is
relaxed and comfortable in her new home, she’s sure to be the
cat of your dreams. Who could say no to such a lovely lady with
long fur and gray and tan tortoiseshell markings? She’s friendly
and aff ectionate, and enjoys sitting in laps. She’s a classy lady
though, and laps should be proff ered on her terms.
I am a kinkster. I have been since I can remember (I am now 21 years old), and I’ve never told anyone
about my deep dark desires until the last year. During my time at university, I made good friends with
a guy who I was able to open up to about my preferences, as he had similar desires. We created a ben-
eficial arrangement. I suddenly no longer felt like I needed to suppress my “fucked up” masochistic
needs and became extremely happy and more comfortable with them. I keep a journal, and naturally I
wrote about this arrangement and a lot of the explicit details. Last summer, my mother read my entire
journal and was horrified. After she read it, I received a very nasty text message from her about how our
relationship was over, she couldn’t believe what I had done, and she was no longer going to help pay for
my postgraduate courses, etc. She was deeply disturbed to learn that some money she had given me for
my 21st birthday was spent on a hotel room where I met up with my kinky friend. (It wasn’t like we could
meet in my family home!) I never wanted my mother to know about any of this, and I feel bad for how
it upset her, but this was also a huge violation of my privacy. The only way to resolve the situation was
for me to pretend that I deeply regretted everything, tell her I can see now how messed up those “weird”
sex practices are, and say that I’m cured and will never engage in them again. Months have passed and
I’m still angry with her for having read my diary. I feel sad about the lies I told and having to pretend—
still—that I regret what I did. Because the truth is I’ve never felt more like myself than when I am doing
BDSM. It’s not my entire world, but it is an important part of who I am. How do you think I should take
things from here? She’ll never understand, so telling her isn’t an option, but that means suppressing my
deep upset at her as well.
Mother Unfairly Destroyed Daughter’s Libido Entirely
Fuck mom; be you, MUDDLE.*
My husband and I met our “soul-mate parents” at our daughter’s preschool a few years ago, i.e., that
rare couple with a kid the same age and the same artistic interests and political values. Our kids instant-
ly bonded and are now BFFs. They have sleepovers, go trick-or-treating together, sled together—little
girl heaven. Early on, the guy called my husband and they had a hard-drinking lunch. The guy spilled his
guts about a painful previous relationship. It was weird, but we wrote it off. Three years of normal inter-
actions and a kid later, we’re really good friends with the wife, while the guy stays in the background.
I decided to start up a FetLife profile for fun—my husband and I are monogamish, and this is with his
okay—and I find the guy’s profile, which clearly states that his wife does not know he’s on this site.
What do I do? Pretend I never saw it? What if the wife finds out I knew? Do I tell him that I know? Most
of all, I worry about the strain this would place on my daughter’s friendship. Her heart would be broken.
Has Evidence Louse Parent Making Arrangements
Mind your own business, HELPMA.
* Shit, I really can’t do this one in four words. Confront your fucking mother, MUDDLE, once you’re out of grad
school (priorities!), about the awful, shitty things she did to you: reading your journal; shaming you for your
sexual interests and your private, consensual, respectful, and healthy sexual explorations; and her unfor-
givable acts of emotional and financial blackmail. And you should wave the results of this study under her
nose when you confront her: livescience.com/34832-bdsm-healthy-psychology.html. It’s just one of several
studies showing that people who practice BDSM—not just fantasize about it but actually practice it—are
psychologically healthier than vanilla people.
