Sex Researcher

The Resume

    (October 7, 1964- )
    Resides in Seattle
    Writes the syndicated sex-advice column 'Savage Love'
    Author of 'The Kid: What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Get Pregnant (2000)' and 'Skipping Towards Gomorrah: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America (2002)'
    Edits the Seattle alternative paper 'The Stranger'

Why he might be annoying:

    His advice is often provocative and amusing rather than helpful.
    He began his advice career asking readers to address him as: 'Hey, Faggot.'
    He is a gay man who writes sex advice primarily for heterosexuals.
    He pled guilty to felony voter fraud after illegally voting in the Iowa caucus in 2000.
    He reportedly licked religious conservative Gary Bauer's doorknob while suffering from the flu (His actual hotel doorknob, that is).
    His opinions have outraged people on both ends of the political spectrum.
    He has an almost scary reverence for Ann Landers.
    He purchased Lander's desk from her estate and uses it to write on.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His writing is informed, funny, and extremely readable.
    He is willing to take unpopular (and un-P.C.) positions on social issues.
    When Senator Rick Santorum compared unmarried sex to polygamy and incest, he began using 'Santorum' as slang for 'the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.'
    When the FCC and Clear Channel cracked down on Howard Stern in 2004, he wrote an eloquent defense of the shock jock.
