Product Description

Product Description

"Savage Love" tells (almost) all anyone needs to know about sex. Brutally honest and scathingly funny, Dan's advice will inform and shock the curious reader. Savage has the last word on everything from STDs and fetishes, to fundamentalism and orgasms (multiple, premature and faked). He gives advice on how to get into, out of and off on a relationship, explains what straight boys should do with women's genitals and why straight girls dig gay boys. From the queer who knows best, the book sets out to tell it like it is. "Don't like my advice? Don't ask for it. Don't like my column? Don't read it. Got better advice? Get your own f**cking advice column."

4.0 out of 5 stars wickedly funny, enormously educational, unputtdownable!, 9 Nov 2000
By jeanir@hhcl.com (UK, London) - See all my reviews
I first read about Dan Savage about 6 months ago in a London newspaper, who were reviewing his 2nd book 'The kid' - even the interview was wicked and bite-ingly (?) funny, so I felt I had to order it. Having read the kid, I had to get Savage Love. Not many books have made me cry laughing but this one did - its one of those tomes that fellow travellers on public transport ask ' what are you reading - can I read some?'. I may have pyramid sold several hundred by now - can I get commission!? I felt like I knew him and Kevin just by reading these books but would recommend Savage Love ahead of The Kid. So wicked and juicy, it has made me go on line to the Village Voice in search of 'live Dan'! More please!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining!, 8 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Savage Love (Paperback)
This book is pretty entertaining and has some good advice. It is probably an acquired taste, but not nearly as cheesy (and unintentionally funny) as those 'Rules' books.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Experience???, 2 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Savage Love (Paperback)
I was shocked that this book of "witicisms" was published under the headline of "advice."

Dan Savage's tone is harsh and biting; his responses seem to care little about the community but alot about how he looks in the community.

Time after time, Savage attempts to pass off his cute funny bits as true advice.

And that makes for shameful reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Look, it's just an advice column. But a very funny one.
