Dan Savage is one of my heroes; his column ‘Savage Love’ is a source of inspiration and comfort to kinky people and their partners since 1991. I found it in The Stranger (TheStranger.com), my favorite of the independent weekly rags. It was the first place I found frank, practical sex and relationship advice for people into all sorts of crazy shit. My eyes were opened and educated about cuckolds, and furries, adults wearing diapers for fun, spanking, pegging and all sorts of diverting and depraved deliciousness. Dan Savage taught me that a relationship with communication could go anywhere sexually. He made it ok to be weird in the bedroom, as a weird kid this gave me a lot of hope for the future. There was also a short-lived radio show, ‘Savage Love Live’, every Sunday night that was on in my early teens. I would stay up late listing to Mr. Savage and Mary Martone, a shop clerk at the famous Toys in Babeland (now just Babeland), dish advice on kinky sex, communication and sex toys. Besides insuring that I would sleep through math class every Monday, this show solidified a passion for radio and sex advice.
As I look back I see how affected I was by Dan Savage and his awesomeness. I worked in a sex shop for nearly two years giving sex advice and slangin’ sex toys. I have devoted my life to the sex industry and now on July 11th at 7pm PST I launch my 3rd sex education radio show on www.PrimetimeUncensored.com . I never would have explored my own kinks, had the confidence to wade into the jungle of the adult industry, and come up a strong confident young women who is asking for a double team for her 23rd Birthday AND can list Adult Film Critic on her resume. All because I grew up in Seattle and smuggled copies of the Stranger home from the library. Thank you Dan Savage, you kinda rule.
Full of the best adverts and perverts The Stranger is in my favorite of the independent weekly rags. Check out the www.thestranger.com for many examples of radness, I’m particularly fond of the ‘Drunk of the Week’ column and the movie reviews, and of course Savage Love.
About Me
- Ryan Keely
- Hailing from a time not yet past, Ryan Keely, literal femme fetale and friend to the unicorn, is here to better prepare for the coming zombie epidemic the second time around. Having already seen the bleak not-so-distant future, she returns to kill her former, weaker self and infiltrate an unknowing world of drones and ill-prepared consumers. Constantly training her body and practicing her skills with a 44, a machete, and a crossbow it’s a wonder she still finds time to still fulfill her oftentimes unquenchable sexual needs and desires. In between training (and sometimes during) she is helping to stockpile a cache of sexually stimulating images and materials for the people of the future. “In the future there are zombies, but people are still horny”- Ryan Keely

I'm a recent Dan Savage fan. I love the man! Both he and his newspaper make so much bloody sense.
I only wish I could find some audio from his radio show, which you made mention of in your post.
