Savage Love

Dan Savage
Plume


This book is a collection of letters from Dan Savage's Savage Love column, a nationally syndicated advice column about sexuality and relationships from a direct, sometimes adversarial, and always funny point of view.

While certainly not about polyamory per se, there are a handful of letters scattered in the book that pertain in one way or another to openly non-monogamous situations, and Dan comes through as being open-minded about that sort of situation (directing one reader to Deborah Anapol's book) without losing his sense of perspective.

The reader letters always begin with the salutation "Hey, Faggot:", which was Dan's original choice for the title of the column Savage Love. I point this out to give you a sense of Dan's tone, I love it's kick-ass style, but if that bothers you, don't apply here.

Personally, I love the book, and ended up laughing out loud several times while I was reading it. Don't miss this one, folks!

kacy rates this book a 9 (Excellent) and says:
Dan Savage writes witty and honest responses to the problems of breeders and gays. I like anybody who encourages virgins to have meaningless sex with the next person that comes along.

Randy rates this book a 1 (Horrible) and says:
I quit reading Dan Savage's advice column along time ago. As a Gay man I find the way he talks about sex vulgar, discusting, and generally juvenile and boring. He reinforces every negative stereotype people have about gay sex for no other reason than to give his mostly straight readership something to giggle, while cementing any ideas they may have about gays not being able to be in commited loving relationships. As far as a book about healthy sex or open positive relationships go, I couln't imagine a worse book to read.
