Well he's an advocate of reciprocity. I highly doubt that he'd advocate degrading or humiliating one's sexual partner, no matter which, or forcing them to do something they're uncomfortable with. He holds that anal sex and oral sex should both be reciprocal - no stereotypical gender roles there. The one thing I'd be more conservative than him on is cajoling partners with the threat of leaving if they don't comply - ignoring consent, non sexual fulfillment.

@XiaoGui17 and men don't want to hear that if they expect to get head, they need to give head... they get to hear this from Dan Savage
-
@XiaoGui17 And men who let themselves go and expect their partner to stay in shape.

@Devin1488 Well, for instance he tells gay men to not be dumbasses and wear condoms because of the risk of AIDS, which they feel impinges on their right of 'self-expression' as homosexuals.

@XiaoGui17 A lot of men don't want to hear that their lousy and selfish bedroom skills turn a lot of women off sexually.

What I love about Dan is he's not afraid to state what he believes, even though he knows a lot of people will disagree

made me laugh, must thumb up

Oh that is so BS ! Though I was raised on chivalry, I could be different. But sex is always about pleasing your partner, call it...self-sacrifice, aside from her tearing off your skin you grin and bear it..Hell you might even enjoy it in the end!
Regardless, it is always great to hear how to make your lover happy.

he's not against monogamy, just against the idea that monogamy is some "gold standard" that everyone is supposed to be looking for.
But he'd never say it was "unethical" for you to want what you want. You gotta do what makes you happy... :)
and men don't want to hear that they have to talk to their girlfriend to find out what turns her on...and then do it with a smile on his face. These things too, has Dan Savage spoken.

Women don't want to hear that they have a responsibility to keep a man sexually satisfied if they expect monogamy. Women don't want to hear that men's degrading fantasies should be indulged. Women don't want to hear that open relationships are sometimes the answer if the woman has a low libido. These are all things Dan Savage has said.
