Hey, everybody! We’re doing a Savage Love Live today — a Zoom hangout exclusively for our Magnum Subs — so there won’t be a new Struggle Session this week. If you’re already a Magnum Sub, the link for today’s show should’ve landed in your inbox this morning. (If you don’t see it, check your spam folder!) And if you’re not already a Magnum Sub, become one now.
But while I’m here — while I’m working on the backend, as they say — I wanted to respond to a few comments about one of my responses in this month’s Savage Love Quickies: specifically, my response to LW#7:
Why are hetero men embarrassed to be uncut while gay men are proud of it?
Because uncut gay men tend to get a positive reception from other gay men (“Yay! More cock to suck!”) while uncut straight men tend to get a negative reception from straight women (“Shit. More cock to suck.”)

Says Lara B via Instagram DM…
I never complain about there being too much cock!! I like it! Better uncut!!! And I am a straight cis woman! We are not all the same!
Another comment that came in via Instagram…
Straight cis woman here who loves an uncut cock!
And another…
Not to be whatever, but the whole “women be less into cock than gay men” trope is played out AF.
To Lara B: In my response to LW#7, I wrote that uncut gay men tend to get a positive reception from other gay men, while uncut straight men tend to get a negative reception from straight women. Those “tends to” are doing a lot of work. (Tends to ≠ always does.) For the record: uncut gay men have gotten a negative response from other gay men (specifically regarding their foreskins/intact dicks) and some straight men have gotten a positive response from straight women (ditto). And the inclusion of a letter from a gay man who doesn’t like oral (or anal) at all in the same column — LW#4 — wasn’t an accident.
To the second commenter: Kneeling right beside you, sister!
And finally to the third commenter: You’re gonna need to have words with Michelle Wolf.
I fucking love Michelle Wolf. Not as much as I love dick — cut or uncut, so long as it’s attached to the right guy — but I love her loads.
Okay! See you in an hour for Savage Love Live!
