It’s an Honor Just to be Nominated

posted by on August 22 at 11:17 AM

Two locals are finalists for the 2007 Erotic Awards: The Seattle Erotic Arts Festival and some asshole that does a skanky podcast version of his sex-advice column. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on Saturday, September 1, 2007.

I didn’t even know I’d been nominated until yesterday—hell, I’d never even heard of the Erotic Awards, now in their 14th year, before someone asked me if I was going to the big bash on September 1.

The awards are handed out by a sexual-freedom activist organization called the Leydig Trust in order to “honour talented people,” “promote pride and excellence in the sex world,” and raise funds for Outsiders, a self-help group that campaigns for the acceptance of disabled people as sexual partners and run a self-help club for people with physical and social disabilities that are looking to find love. Sounds righteous. The annual party at which the awards are handed out sounds like a balls-out bash. I wish I could be there.

And, hey, good luck to SEAF—you guys deserve an award!

Congratulations Dan!

But you know, I've never thought of your column or podcast as "erotic". Informative, entertaining, and amusing perhaps, but not erotic. Maybe it's just me, but I do not get wood listening to people discuss STI testing or anal sex preparation.

Still, you do OK promoting "pride and excellence" in the sex world (or at least discouraging shame and incompetence), so I'm pulling for you.

I was flipping through the channels a few nights ago, and stopped on HBO's Real Sex series- they featured this awards show. Looked like a blast. The awards look pretty fucking sweet too- giant dildo with wings.

Obviously partly due to the discussions of the proper use of "pussy" as an adjective.

I kid, I kid. Everything I learned about cock rings I learned from Dan. Uh, not in person though.

Wow what a freaking accomplishment.

Make sure you take your son to witness the high point in your entire career. Getting a penis trophy delivered by a tranny dressed like a dental dam for a pience you did about "pony play" and the great advice you gave the guy who wanted to screw his sister, is definately something that your son can be proud of.

Hazaa for dan...

@ ecce homo. Get a grip and get over yourself already. If Dan is going to be known for anything it is driving the Stranger off a cliff following the Seattle Weekly into a world of irrelevancy.

The trophy needs to go to that puckered butthole ecce.

He needs some release. BAD.

Ecce, it's safe to consume antifreeze. Did you know?!

Mr. Poe, go back to picking up underage boys on "my space".

Hey Dan
Congrats on the nomination but you're under-representing Seattle; there's a third local resident nominated for the 2007 UK Erotic Awards: Chris Petersen (aka mysterycat) for photography. He's lived here for two years so I guess that makes him as much as Seattleite as any other transplant.
I doubt the photos would float your particular boat but nevertheless here's a link to his portfolio:

I wonder if Ecce plagues Susie Bright like this? She's a sex writer and a parent too, just like Dan. Go get her, ecce!
