Dan Savage’s Porn Problem

Sure, being surrounded by hot sexy pornstars is fun and everything, but one of our personal highlights from AVN Expo week—for the writerly geek inside of us anyway—was meeting Dan Savage, proprietor of the long-running and much beloved Savage Love advice column. (And also curator of Seattle’s amateur porn extravaganza HUMP!) Since reading, writing and thinking about freaks is pretty much his stock-in-trade, we just had to corral Dan for an interview. In part one of two, we find out what he thinks about porn, exhibitionists, and glistening rectal mucus. (OK, so he volunteered that last one … but who hasn’t thought about that?)

    Nice!! I’m gay for Dan Savage!

    Sort of makes me sad I missed the show this year–but not really.

    How can Dan Savage possibly be squeamish when it comes to sex and porn? Have you read Savage Love? He writes some of the most open-minded (to some) and snarky responses to the freakiest sex problems Seattle has to offer.

    BTW, humorous, awkward porn is the best to watch, in my book.

    Dan is very squeemish about certain topics, thanks, according to him, to his catholic upbringing.

    it’s the uncomfortable charm of Dan Savage stays with you for ever

    I want to be Dan Savage when I grow up… Oops, too late, I am already older than he is… Unlike Dan, I do my gay sex-writing by reviewing gay and bi porn (descriptively, not critically) for a few online retailers, and am not squeamish to much of anything. I find the ability to write in explicit ‘dirty’ language fun and a creatively challenging outlet…

    “….and glistening rectal mucus…”

    For those not in the know, Dan personally coined the term “Santorum” to describe the rectal aftereffects of anal intercourse, ejaculation, and lube and gave it Sen. Rick Santorum’s surname to embarrass the homophobic Republican Senator. Savage’s definition still comes in higher as a Google search result than does Senator Rick’s bio. Woo-hoo Dan the Man!

    I think I might be having computer troubles, but where is the actual
    interview? The links just send me to Dan’s column or another post
    advertising the interview but with no interview.
