Safe Sex Party
Mr. Dan Savage’s advice for people who attend sex parties (“Savage Love,” Bohemian, Feb. 29, 2024) is to “maybe consider using condoms.”
I’m a semi-retired professional sex surrogate partner and sex educator, and a person who has occasionally attended a wide variety of events like sex parties and sex and tantra workshops. I’m also a polyamorist. My advice for Mr. Savage’s readers is to definitely at all times use condoms and other “safer sex” items and practices.
The only exception would be if there is a “closed loop” of polyamorous people who have been tested for at least the more popular STIs. There are about 30 STIs ready to be transmitted. Most of them are asymptomatic in their early stages.

Burrito Babies
Your readers may by now be aware that the Alabama Supreme Court has issued a ruling that frozen burritos—be they “beef, bean and cheese, chicken, or any combination thereof”— are, in fact, legally recognized as children.
What impact this decision will have on commercial burrito sales in roadside dining emporia in Alabama and across the country is unknown at this time.
What we do know is that “the moment the frozen burrito is placed in its plastic sleeve, it becomes human life in the image of Our Higher Power.”
