Comments on Savage Love Letter of the Day

Oh, holy shee-ot. Someone thought that was serious?

Go back to old man school and learn to send your VIBES, Mr. Savage!

Too bad he didn't figure out irony before he ate all of those Irish children.

Yes, maybe he'll learn about sarcasm when he grows up.

god, humorless self-righteous teen sex must be the worst.

Dan, seriously, you should write a sex-ed text book. It would require heavy editing but it would be brilliant!

Seriously, bma, nothing gets me hotter than a Jonathan Swift reference on Slog. Rawr.

In my teenage years, sex was not a beautiful experience.

Why did you do that? Now we're both going to die. It's in my nature.

That was cruel but funny. Eighteen, the son of a social worker and psychologist, and he lectures his class on the horrors of amyl nitrate (gasp!). He'll make a progressive crunchy "like wow" chick very happy one day with his zeal for championing the plight of the downtrodden...set to alanis. After a few more windmills, maybe he'll take himself less seriously.

Hehehe... I wonder if he's local... it'd be fun to flirt with him and watch it sail over his head. Or at least play with his apparently serious nature. :D

Does this mean that you are going to take them off the "enemies of Slog" list?

Ooops never mind, I thought I was commenting on another post :p

bma, I just sprayed fresca all over my keyboard. fucking hilarious.

This is one eighteen year old I would love to sit and talk to for a few hours and exchange generational horny stories ... I have thought sex was heaven since jr. high ... what is new?

Don't be jealous Dan, just another sexy hormonal driven boy kitten ... the young replacing the old. Get used to it.

Hey, gotta give him points for at least refraining from the use of smilies, 'lol's, and the abuse of the phrases "like" and "you know."

Sure, he might have gone a little over-the-top, but at least the guy can use a comma, which puts him ahead of most of our teenage population.

You gotta love the kidz, they are our future!

No, he actually doesn't know how to use a comma. See: comma splice error.

I didn't want to bring it up, but come on.

Hmmm my sex as a teenager was kinda painful, but then he was pretty big though and the first time neither of us were that great at understanding the idea of LIBERALLY using lube.....

you guys are being a bunch of kids yourselves. Even if he was being niave, or if his youth was showing - a truly progressive and mature, or self secure posture to take would be one wherein you reinforce that young persons attempt to engage these issues with discourse; rather than mocking, condescending, and dismissing him... i think it betrays some insecurity.

sometimes when you're preoccupied with scorning through the looking glass, you miss your own reflection coming into focus, and fail to see it for a mirror.

I don't buy it. The kid ain't real. There is no such thing as an 18-year-old bisexual boy who can't recognize simple sarcasm. Granted, he would have only half the usual dose of natural gay cynicism, but being bisexual at 18 requires better than average common sense. He ain't real. Somebody had too much time on their hands.

@17

Couldn't you leave me just a little faith in humanity? ...no?

At least he didn't try to make little faces out of the punctuation. Right? Right?

He is 18?
Ok then in less than 2 years he can join the rest of us in not being a teen right.
The problem is dividing adults from teens. Everywhere you look the word teen is used to promote an sell something and it creates an enemy (adults).
The very second that "teen" turns 20 do the same rules apply to him.
Where are the rites of passage that get the point across that you do not get to be a "teen" there is no such thing. Adults get to use "teen" as a convenient way of dismissing younger people and "teens" get to be part of a group that dismiss anyone older than them by being blatantly ageist.
I remember teen years and the amount of crap that was out there to dummy me up was overwhelming. Today it is worse because it is perfectly designed manipulation

I think Cat is right. Somebody is having fun with Dan having fun with the crazy religious abstinence crowd.
