Life Lying About Sex Is Never Okay
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 11:13 AM
I did not have sex with my boyfriend at the Ace Hotel this weekend. We did not have sex in room 422. We did not have sex instead of going to see Slumdog Millionaire, which was sold out. We did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, and we did not have sexual relations with that man, Mr. Breedlove, and we did not have sexual relations with that hotel receptionist, the dude with the pretty eyes. We did not have sex while plotting to sell Barack Obama's seat in the Senate to the highest bidder. We did not have sex while safely landing a plane in the Hudson River. We did not have sex during our Senate confirmation hearing. We did not have sex.

Huh?
Dan, I am a big fan of yours, but your commentary has become increasingly un-hinged and Mudede-esque since the Sam Adams stuff happened. Seems like you're trying to say something, but I can't for the life of me parse it.

I think it is all about who is asking the question and the how much they want to know ....
Don't go shit brained on us, Dan. the only issue is how old they are --- remember, jailbait.
The question is sex with girls and boys who cannot consent due to the law, agree or not, the law can send you to prison.

Wow, I was in the Ace this weekend, too...but I stayed at the Hotel deLuxe and very much did have sex.
Thank you.
Thank you.

if not for the sex, why go to Portland
it is a veritable cock farm, combined with hair and flannel

Oh God, you two were having...ergh, it sickens me to think about it...sex within the context of a committed relationship. Sick, sick, sick!!!

So, obviously, it took the entire housekeeping staff and a couple of passers-by to peel the sheets off the mattress.

Gee Dan, for having one of the worlds premiere sex columns, you certainly don't have sex much.
Whatever will you write about?

I wish I'd had sex instead of going to Slumdog Millionaire. That was the most depressing 2 1/2 hours I've spent in a long time. Movies be about escapism & entertainment not heinous torture of children. I've lost my love for India. Spare yourselves & have sex instead!

I demand that Dan Savage be fired for not having sex. Furthermore, I demand Dan be fired for saying he did not have sex even though my sources tell me he did, indeed, have sex. What kind of country is this when freaks like Dan don't have sex? Sinful... that's what I say. Jesus must be puking in heaven!

The many varied reactions to Slumdog are so odd...it doesn't warrant the raves it's getting, esp about it's clever plot (good brother, bad brother, girl who comes between them was an old standard when D W Griffith was making flickers...)but some of the brickbats are bizarre. The "heinous torture" of children was brief and mostly off camera, and Dickensian in the sense that it felt like it came out of an old story book and didn't have any basis in the reality of real slumdogs in Mumbai. The actors are adorable and the soundtrack is great, but other than that and the flashback story structure of how the uneducated boy was able to answer the gameshow questions, there's not much else to recommend about this movie...it's sweet and crowd pleasing and probably going to win the Oscar and in 20 years time people will be asking, "why did that movie win so many awards?" just like we do now about 80% of the movies that have won the Oscar in the past...(ahem, Gandhi/Dances with Wolves/Braveheart/Forrest Gump/Crash)

Inkweary @ 18,
I thought you were supposed to do your fancy lying before sex, otherwise there might not be any sex.

I know the receptionist you speak of. I didn't have sex with him. Because he was my ex's ex. I knew this at the time, but pretended not to. Did I break the law of exes? Only time will tell.
