SAVAGE LOVE: Group Dynamics - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m a 37-year-old (mostly) straight man who has been in and out of a series of committed, monogamous relationships for most of my adult life. I’m now at a point where I am feeling torn in two, and it doesn’t seem like there’s anyone in my life who I can ask for help who won’t judge me. I am getting old, and I want to have kids. I have always known I wanted to have kids, but it just hasn’t happened yet, mostly because I keep moving for my career and I stayed in some long-distance relationships lo

Dear Readers: I’m on a vacation (and bed rest) this week. Please enjoy this selection of letters from three previously published columns. — Dan Borrowing Gen Z’s love for labelling everything, I’m a 46-year-old homoromantic asexual Canadian faggot. For me that means I’d like to love and be loved by another man but I’d hate having sex with him. To add a vexing complication, I also need some sort of power imbalance.

If you mean packing in the “my ex has a massive cock” sense of the term, you may never get over your ex fully. (Here’s hoping you have some pics and/or a Clone-A-Willy dildo to remember him by.) Look, I don’t know whether or not you’re gay — there’s not much info to go on in your letter — but I’ve seen two gay men go from fu
SAVAGE LOVE: Flagging - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bi female here. I’ve been seeing an ENM M/F couple for almost four months. The F was an acquaintance of mine for about two years. We are all close in age (late thirties, early forties). This is my first ethically non-monogamous relationship. Here are the pros: they are charming and attractive; the sex is great; they are affectionate with me in public and introduce me to their friends as someone they are dating; they invite me to sleepover at their place, they cook for me, and show other acts of
