The Year of Our Intert00bs 2009 is here, but does that mean the problems of 2008 have been washed away, and we shall bask clean and new in a world free of sad bastardry? Sadly, no. This might be the year of hope and change and what-have-you, but folks are still writing in to advice columns so that we might all partake of their personal issues.Wouldn't you know it, but 2009's problems appear to be very similar to those of 2008. Spouses are still cheating, people are still cheap jerks, and some of us can't stop pulling our hair out, literally. And then there's that age-old problem: what does a lady do about her septuagenarian boyfriend who loves to visit dominatrixes? Subless in Seattle writes to Savage Love:
" ... he claims that all he does is "chat" online with a number of doms. He has never asked me to role-play with him, and I'm not sure I could do it. It doesn't disgust me; it might be rather fun, but I think I might just get the giggles! Here is the dilemma: I recently found out that in fact he has seen a dom in person. At this point, he does not know that I know. I can live with his wanting that as part of his life and that he apparently doesn't see me in that role. What does concern me is that he has not been truthful and open with me about this and that perhaps he has exposed himself (and thus me) to health risks."I love the visual of a couple of senior citizens giggling and slapping their way through some hot sex. This week, the sad bastard is me, for knowing I will never be so fulfilled.
