Savage Love.
Hey Punt, how about breaking the ice with your GGG wife like so... "Hey babe, let's watch Bull Durham."
BTW, I want to punch your first wife in the face. Maybe your son should have punched her for telling him something he'll never be able to get out of his head. What a cunty move.

@7, I think Dan's advice has the potential to COMPLETELY change WSN's outlook. This may be the first time in her life she's been able to see the event from a 14-year-old boy's perspective. She's been carrying this victim thing around for 7 years, probably egged on by the feminist view that any unwanted sexual contact is a violation. Most of the time that's true... but how guilty can a spindly little teenybopper with an out of control schmeckel be? Neither one of them knew what the hell they were doing. If she just steps back and considers the event with a bit more of an open mind, she'll get all the closure she could hope for. And maybe then, in the words of Carrie Bradshaw, she can truly enjoy feeling "the weight of a man on me."

SL Letter of the Day: What Kind of Straight Guys Watch Gay Porn?.
In the movie "The Kids are All Right," the gay moms get off on homeosexual porn. Is that really a thing? Their explanation (to the poor son who discovered it) was that commercially available lesbo porn was geared toward a male audience--and therefore the participants were not lesbian at all (and also chock full of implants and big hair).
So where the hell is the lesbian porn for lesbians? No fair.

Your Dog Sucks.
@35, I would NEVER grab a strange dog by the collar. Good way to find some teeth around your wrist. Many dogs have issues with that... my sis rescued a dog who was obviously beaten while been held by the collar.
Also, I'm glad you don't condone violence toward animals, but geez, it sounds like he shove/smacked the dog away from the food. Doesn't seem like that big a deal. Especially if children were sitting there, that would make me a bit nervous.
Damn, look at all these comments! Next, I expect to see something on Fox News about Dan Savage, Dog Hater.

Your Dog Sucks.
@94, the difference was, Dan was with his dog, ran up to get his dog, and probably apologized. The beagle's owner was MIA. Do you really think he was "just as guilty?" Are you seriously saying he "loses the right" to complain? Bullshit.
I'm guilty of letting my dog off leash too... and I'm right there to call him back when he goes butt-sniffing. 95% of other dog owners are cool with it, but I'm embarrassed the 5% of the time when people are annoyed. It's not a black and white world, and I do break the rules sometimes. I like a world where dogs run up to you sometimes... but the dog can't just take itself for a walk.

SL Letter of the Day: Walk The Talk.
@10, that's crazy talk. If we all had to confess filthy thoughts about our friends, we'd have less friends and more fuck-buddies. Hey, wait a minute...why did I think your idea sucked?
I can think of nothing creepier than this dude confessing to his pals that he gets off on his gal calling out their names during sex, and is that okay with them? That's ridiculous. Right now, it's the couples dirty little secret, and that's hot. No one gets hurt. Confess, and the friends will have to find a new bar. And that hurts.
It's an entirely different matter if he approaches one, tells him they're in an open relationship, and would he like to fuck his girlfriend, no strings? Either he says, hell yeah, or no thanks. A moment of awkwardness, perhaps, but he'd have to be flattered. Your idea, @10, sounds like a mandate from the Thought Police.

About the first letter, I don't get how a "driven, hardworking, loving and happy" boyfriend turns into a lazy, hateful, selfish wanker overnight. On the WEDDING night. That just don't happen, do it? Something doesn't smell right.

SL Letter of the Day: Mr. Wonderful.
Gawd this one depressed me. Time to break out the bottle...
Hey Vag, he might have more reason to get sober if you dumped him. As it is, you're enabling him. Ever considered looking into Al-Anon or some help group? Your situation can be so lonely, finding others in your situation (including the same situation a few years down the road, plus a kid or two) might help.
I pray you're using birth control. You might not want to DTMFA, but at least you CAN. Have a kid and you'll wish you had.
@2, same answer, different question. Phoebe loves gossip, you know...
