Group Dynamics - The Stranger (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 vacation — second and last week — and will be back with new columns next week. Please enjoy this selection of letters from three previously published columns in the meantime. — Dan I was raised in a religious home and didn’t lose my virginity until the embarrassing age of 26.

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
The Bends - The Stranger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m going through a really difficult time, and I could really use some perspective. I’m a gay 47-year-old man with a husband of 25+ years. We have two young children in the house. My husband and I are monogamish, and our relationship is okay. Not great, not terrible. Up until about three years ago, I was a big bearish/chub guy, and carried all the self-loathing and insecurities that can be associated with that. I had stomach surgery to lose weight, and I started to feel like maybe I was getting
