- Dan Savage joins us today to talk about love, sex, non-monogamy, commitment, and much, much more!
Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist, a podcaster, an author, and has appeared on numerous television shows.
“Savage Love,” Dan’s sex-advice column, first appeared in The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative weekly, in 1991. The column is now syndicated worldwide. Dan has published seven books.
In 2006, Dan launched the Savage Lovecast, a weekly, call-in, sex advice podcast. It has 600,000 unique monthly downloads and 20,000 paying subscribers for premium “Magnum” content. It ranks consistently in the top ten Sexuality podcasts on Apple Podcasts.
He created and curates the HUMP! Film Festival, a sex-positive showcase of dirty short films, now in its 18th year. HUMP! has become a national phenomenon selling tens of thousands of tickets, screening in over 50 cities across the United States and Canada and streaming worldwide.
In 2010 Dan and his husband Terry Miller founded the It Gets Better Project. The IGBP has gathered tens of thousands of videos from people all over the world offering hope to LGBT kids. The book-It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living-was a New York Times best seller. In 2012 the It Gets Better Project was awarded an Emmy.
Dan’s graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about sex, monogamy, gay rights, religiosity, and politics.
Interesting to consider.
Dan and Esther are two parts of my Unholy Trinity.
Nice. Dan’s column would have been the first strong voice I had ever heard as far the topic of sex positivity goes way back when in copies of the Chicago Reader. I also credit him for my occasional use of the acronym of DTMFA to this day! Great guest! =]
Would love him back again!

48:00 Feeling super-Boomer (I'm GenX, but who's counting) but my 18yowas talking in the car with one of her friends. The friend was approached by a guy that she didn't find attractive and immediately called it "harassment" telling him off to go away... and in the same run-on sentence said that if he was good looking, she would have liked it.
For as much as we have tried to raise awareness of poor and unwanted behaviors, harassment is not a function of how attractive the person is. Like Dan says, "guess wrong" can ruins lives.
