The Coast

... You may or may not be stupid (impossible to tell from a question on a green index card), but you do meet a popular-if-annoying-but-sometimes-accurate definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over—doing this boyfriend of yours over and over again—and expecting different results. Tell him this chance is his last, and don’t take him back a 12th time. My partner is obsessed with Shania. He’s gay. Is this normal? It’s gay normal. Sometimes it’s a Shania, sometimes it’s a Cher, sometimes it’s a Gaga. My gay husband is currently obsessed with a Katy Perry. Maybe we should start a support group? Anal rose budding videos—your reaction? O_o Married straight lady. My husband told me he is bi. I couldn’t imagine something hotter! But he is also EXTREMELY monogamous. Suggestions? I want to have fun with this! Strap-ons—like the ones they sell at Venus Envy, Halifax’s education-oriented sex shop and bookstore—are fun. Or, hey, you could push your husband to adopt the “gay normal” definition of monogamy: Have threesomes only with each other and one additional hot bi guy and all your threesomes will be EXTREMELY monogamous. I’m a kinky, poly guy who meets awesome kinky, poly girls on the internet. Everything is great, except I never know when or if to go in for a first kiss. Thanks! None of the kinky, poly girls I’ve met in Seattle, New York, SF, Toronto, Chicago, etc. are what you would call shy. So I bet if you told the kinky, poly girls of Halifax during your pre-meeting, internet chats that you prefer to let KPGs make the first move—including going in for that first kiss—you’ll be set. Will you tell us about your first sexual experience? Nope. Is it weird that I, the girl, want to have sex more than my boyfriend? Nope. Is it inappropriate for me to flirt and attempt to have an affair with a married coworker? Yep. Be considerate. Maybe this guy is dying to cheat on his wife, maybe he’s looking for someone to cheat with, but if you sense that he really, really wants to stay faithful and your flirtatious attentions are (1) torture for him but (2) harder and harder to resist, do him, his wife, and your karma a favor and go fuck someone else. What ground rules should be set for a friends-with-benefits situation? The most important ground rule: Be friends. Too many people are pointedly unfriendly to their FWBs because they don’t want their FWBs “getting the wrong idea,” i.e., they don’t want their FWBs to think they might be interested in something more serious. The result? FWB situations that are all B and no F. No friendly gestures (friends sometimes give each other gifts), no friendly assistance (friends sometimes help each other move), no friendly concern (friends are there for each other). Don’t want your FWB to get the wrong idea? Use your words to tell your FWB that a serious romance isn’t in the cards. Then be a friend to your FWB. How can I go about financial domination in a smart way? (I’m a 19-year-old girl and I’m looking to Dom.) Most men who submit to financial domination—making cash gifts to a Dom—expect a little something in return: some attention, some pictures, maybe a Skype session now and then. Be warned: Once your images are out there, they’re out there. And an angry, vindictive “sub” might post your pictures online, or a careless sub could lose his computer and someone else could steal and post your photos. Any plans to retire? They’ll have to pry my column from my cold, dead hands just like they pried Ann Landers’s column from hers. How do I make cum taste better? “Cum” is not a word. We don’t have three-letter alternate spellings for other four-letter words that have double meanings. You wouldn’t write “I know this guy who sucks and he’s a mean dick, but he’s so fucking hot, I want to suk his dik.” The proper spelling of “come” works just fine too. But in answer to your question: Come is an acquired taste. No one likes Guinness the first time they drink it, right? But soon you’re happily knocking back pints of the stuff. My partner is a neat freak and a control freak in everyday life, but in bed she’s a whore. Is this normal? Nope, but it sounds awesome—dirty sex is always more fun in a spotlessly clean apartment. Is it true that some men like a finger in the butt during a blowjob? Yes, some men like a finger in the butt during a blowjob. Some men like two, some like more. How to determine if the man you’re blowing likes a finger in the butt? Take his dick out of your mouth and ask. What’s the best place to make love? In the butt. (Individual results may vary.) Thanks, Halifax, for such a great evening. And congrats to Kyle and Christine and everyone at the Coast on 20 great years! The new Savage Lovecast season starts October 22 at savagelovecast.com.
