A more acceptable method is to get your friends and family to submit letters (though in this case maybe you don't want to know about their kinks). Even making them up yourself from scratch would be better -- surely if you're going to take this job, you need to have a certain degree of imagination about sex, enough to make up some kinky but plausible scenarios. But to copy them from the one column that you know your target demographic reads? Dumb dumb dumb!<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I admit that I've been in vaguely similar positions of having an ostensibly reader-driven feature with no feedback -- I was the arts editor of my college newspaper and we made up the letters to the editor of our arts section pretty regularly, but we made them so ludicrous and over the top that I'd like to think that nobody thought they were real. The fact that we were making them up was part of the joke, or so we justified it to ourselves.<BR/><BR/>JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-19049553181747006822008-01-29T07:56:00.000-05:002008-01-29T07:56:00.000-05:00Probably you couldn't do Mr. Savage's job and I kn...Probably you couldn't do Mr. Savage's job and I know I couldn't. Dan is gay, and has had more than one experience with kink. He often cites his own history when responding. I read his column, many many people read his column, all for the same reason. It's not like we are all thinking about having sex with a pot bellied pig, we are all perverted voyeurs and we all secretly want to know more about what goes on in the bedrooms of our slightly odd neighbors. That is, before we go to church and pat ourselves on the back for being pillars of the community.Chamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353036103471800904noreply@blogger.com
