KP: You seem very well read. Who are your favorite authors both on and off the subject of sex?
DS: Gore Vidal. George Bernie Shaw. Andrew Sullivan.

KP: My friend Larry wants to know if you'll do a follow up on your book, THE KID. He wants to know what it's been like for you since the adoption. Also, are you planning on adopting another child?
DS: No more books about the kid, or being a parent. Too many books about kids out there, and too many books about parenting. Things have been great since the adoption. DJ, our son, is three now, and he's running and screaming and yelling and shooting pretend guns--like all three year old boys. He can also turn on the TV and get himself a juice box out of the fridge now, so we figure our work is pretty much done. Six more months of this and we're gonna start charging him rent.

KP: How did the 'Hot Carl' get it's name?
DS: Teenage boys, like every other fictional/gross-out sex act.

KP: Have you heard of a 'Wet Franklin?'
DS: Yes. Sigh.

KP: I want to make up my own fun name for a "deviant" sexual practice, let's call it the 'Warm Nelson'. What do you think a 'Warm Nelson' would describe?
DS: I'm not sure but no doubt I'll get letters about it six months after you launch your new "devient" sexual practice.

KP: It's Tuesday night, 9pm (8 central): which do you watch, ANGEL, DARK ANGEL, or TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL?
DS: Oh, god, if it has to be one... probably Touched by an Angel. It's fun watching "immortal" angels get so much older every year. what are they gonna do when Della Reese drops dead? Angels don't die, right? So where'd she go?

KP: I hope it's not on that long. Are you Dan Savage, or Keenan Hollahan? What's the difference? What does your mom call you?
DS: I'm Dan Savage. Keenan is my middle name. Hollahan is a family name (my grandma's maiden name). My mom calls me constantly.

KP: Do you know if it's true that Danny Thomas liked to lay on the floor under glass-top coffee tables and have women sit naked on the top and shit inches above his face while he watched?
DS: You know, I've heard that. No one has produced any proof--such as a soiled coffee table--so I take it with a grain of salt. Or perhaps I should say...I take it with a kernel of corn.

KP: Can you out the Hollywood that hasn't yet been outed?
DS: Uh... no. No one famous is sleeping with *me,* so I have no dirt on anyone famous. if I ever do get to put Brad Pitt in my mouth, well, I'll let you know first.
