This is how I figured out the math. The guy was 100% straight when he decided to go to a massage parlor, and discovered the parlor did not have a masseuse, but only a masseur. He was 105% straight when he decided to use the masseur anyway. He was 110% straight when the masseur "misinterpreted" his desire and gave him a snarling gnarling. He was 150% straight when he did not attempt to stop the snarling because of the thumb stuck up his bomb bays. Finally, he became 200% straight when he was so shocked and what happened that he decided to keep going back to that same masseur specifically for the snarling gnarling.
Now if only he would run for President on a platform demonizing homosexuality, he would become 1000% straight.

It's a bad joke, but I can't resist. In addition to being a hunter, is BGA also a card-carrying member of the Communist Party AND the National Rifle Association? (I can't be the only one who remembers that SNL skit.)

@203 Don't thank me. Thank comedian Frank Conniff, formerly of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and currently of "Cinematic Titanic." You remember the character of "TV's Frank"? That was him. He came up with the bon mot, and I'm just passing it along.

I believe the whole f___ing point of Dan Savage's column is to help people (both single and married, straight and gay) with their sexual problems so it's perfectly appropriate for unhappy married people to discuss their problems here. But you must be confusing Erica with somebody else, because she doesn't sound unhappy and she isn't discussing her marital problems but rather her *solutions.*
Erica P., if you ever decide to write a book, I'd love to read your story!

I'm surprised that some of the people are still scratching their heads about how homosexuality happened to evolve. I can't be the only one on this board who has read "Sex At Dawn" !

Since this type of question seems to come up on Savage Love a lot---frustrated husband wants to have sex but wife has lost interest in sex completely and doesn't understand why her husband hasn't either---does anybody have any idea WHY? Is this more of a physiological problem where some women naturally lose interest in sex after menopause, or is it more of a cultural issue where women accept the idea that the only purpose for sex is procreation. Or is it both?

HeatherWasHere, BOTB makes it perfectly clear that it does not matter whether he had just met his new boyfriend, or if the two of them were in a committed relationship for decades---NO homosexual lover of the brother was going to welcome at his sister's wedding, although spouses and heterosexual lovers of other guests were. Dan Savage was right---just because BOTB's sister is getting married is no reason to tolerate her homophobia because it's "her day." Incidentally, my first cousin happens to be a lesbian, and my family has welcomed her as well as her wife into our home.

Since you apparently believe that any woman who cheats on her husband must be in the wrong, you refuse to pay any attention to what MOM wrote. MOM made it very clear that their father has always been an antisocial psycho. The fact that he married MOM's mother is NOT proof that this was not always the case. Marital fidelity isn't always easy to maintain in good marriages, and this clearly isn't a good marriage. I think the mother doesn't need to be reprimanded for cheating on her husband but rather---if "Been There" at 155 is right---for failing to protect her children by taking them and herself away from him sooner.
Also, for you and every other person who thinks there is never any legitimate excuse for cheating, please read "Sex At Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality" by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá.

I also suspect that that letter is fake because it seems too perfect. It's set up to show that the LW clearly gave consent both times, and that the hubby even backed off immediately after she first said "no." Maybe it's real but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a setup.
