Some of the questions asked by the students at UM tonight...
My really unpopular sexblog only gets hits to one obscure post on armpit fetishes. How popular is this fetish?
Is monogamy "normal"?
Fisting: Yes or No?
I'm a lesbian and my girlfriend is bisexual and wants to have a threesome with a man. This makes me nervous. What should I do?
When my boyfriend goes down on me, he leaves behind copious amounts of saliva. Could this be bad for my vaginal health?
There's this guy who likes me and I have no interest in him. I had a talk with him to let him know but he cried when I told him. How can I get him to stop?
Some of my answers: if there were tons of stuff online about armpits then your unpopular sexblog's single obscure post about armpit fetishes wouldn't get any more traffic than your other obscure posts, so we can infer that it's not too popular; normal, yes, natural, no; not now, I'm giving a talk; take a Xanax or date a lesbian; saliva is acidic and could dissolve your vagina; he's still crying?

When I had a lover who left copious amounts of saliva, I also wound up with a yeast infection.
Not saying there's proof of a connection, just sayin'.

In regards to the saliva/vagina melting...Don't you mean "melt your vulva?"
Also, just tell the boy to suck and swallow.

I thought the question about cock rings was pretty amusing and daring! After the lecture tonight, my friend made a very interesting observation on facebook about our school: "I'll be honest it was primarily questions about butt plugs, fisting, anal virginity, etc. Come to think of it, If you had never been on the UMD campus before, you might have come away thinking that my school was all butt sex all the time."
Also, one more thing, your answer to my question totally made my night, if not my week. To say the least, it was the confirmation that I've been looking for. Not just that I am doing the right things (ie - spending time with friends, not being bitter about my singleness), but that someday guys will wake up and pay attention to me and girls in similar situations to mine. It's a great comfort to know that my someday does exist.

Dan, I am really looking forward to cranky, pissed-off gay dude here in Anchorage tomorrow.
See you in about 20 hours!

my mom wanted to know what i was laughing at.
me: you don't want to know.
she: [staring wordlessly]
me: it's the slog.
she: [staring wordlessly]
me: sometimes the slog is gross.
she: oh.
me: you don't want to know.
she: [staring wordlessly]

I love it Dan! The whole reason I kept reading savage love was because you never took yourself or your work (sex columnist?!? come ON!) too seriously.
Just keep it up, keep it funny, and keep it interesting! You've got that talent, keep it moving!

Instead of all these loser rant questions, how about answering some good ones.
1. Where are all the attractive girls in Seattle?
2. How does Seattle rates compare to other cities? Less, more, a bargain?
3. Has the housing crisis and deflation affected the going rate for "the basics" ?

@1--armpit logic makes perfect sense, it's what I thought when I first saw it. Or you could theorize that there's some demand, but very short supply, and that's why the blog gets hits--but at the rate porn expands to fill every possible demand, I doubt that.
Laughed out lout to the answers to fisting and crying guy.

Now that Obama has returned Science and Reason to America will we get factual information about the medical consequences of anal intercourse?

I am very annoyed that I had rehearsal and couldn't make it to see Dan. I am sure Dan will be glad that our production of Iolanthe will be marginally better because I didn't skip rehearsal to see him.

Where were you when I was in college?
Then again, I went to a Catholic college, so you wouldn't have been invited anyway...

Why do you bunch up your answers at the end of your post instead of placing them after each quote? Are you trying to be clever or are you that inept at using quotes on the internet?
