Dear Dan,
My partner and I have been playing with male chastity devices. We've been considering going to a strip club while his cock is caged up and getting him lap dances. Is there some etiquette for this with the dancers? Do we let the dancer know before she is on his lap? Or do we not mention it? Is it rude to get a dancer involved at all? I've not yet found an etiquette guide for this situation.

"I think I speak for most dancers when I say I don't care what's going on underneath a customer's pants," said Bobbi Hill, a lap dancer based in Portland, Oregon, strip club capital of the United States. "Grazing over a stiff object in the crotch region is not an uncommon experience when giving a lap dance, and depending on the texture of the device, I might not even give it a second thought."
While your concern for lap dancers is commendable, LOCKS, the person most at risk of injury is your partner. Nothing is more fun than inducing an erection in someone who's locked in a male chastity device — a necessarily painful and punishing erection — but the devices are unyielding (ideally) and the cock flesh is weak (even when hard). A dancer who grinds down on your partner's crotch is likelier to hurt him.
That said, lap dancers don't like surprises. If a dancer grinds down on your partner's crotch and feels something hard, clunky, and un-cock-like in his pants, "she might go into air-dance mode," said Hill, "which is essentially a lap dance where you make as little contact with the customer's crotch as possible. Of course, you can never go wrong investing in a stripper's patience and well-being — try handing her a benjamin as you explain your situation."
Just in case you're not interested in dancers who are hers, LOCKS, I ran your question by a male stripper.
"I don't think most dancers would mind if a customer was wearing a male chastity device as long as it caused no physical harm or discomfort," said Aaron, a dancer at Stag PDX, Portland's new male strip club. "If all parts of the device are safely tucked away between your legs while you receive the lap dance, there should be little to worry about. But if the device has parts that protrude — and could possibly harm an overzealous dancer while they grind up on you — you may want to be more cautious. It also never hurts to ask the dancers what they're comfortable with."
Strippers! They're just like us! You can ask them questions! They will answer them! They respond positively when you take their comfort into account! They also appreciate large tips! And good personal hygiene! And clients who aren't completely shitfaced!
Dear Dan,
I met my boyfriend at a gay night in a club. I thought he was gay because he was dancing shirtless. But he loves going down on me, the PIV sex is the best I've ever had, and I believe him when he says he's straight. He's got an above-average cock, but he likes me to tell him it's small and compare him unfavorably to men I've been with who had bigger cocks. I've had bigger and I don't mind degrading him like this. (It's a nice change of pace to be with a guy who doesn't want me to pretend like I've never seen another cock before!) So that's not the reason I'm writing. This is: He likes to be called a "faggot" when he's fucking me. It makes him incredibly horny, but I feel guilty for using an antigay hate term while we're having straight sex. Is this okay? Is it fucked up? Should we stop?

It's not okay, it's completely fucked up, and you don't have to stop. And if you feel the least bit guilty about calling your boyfriend a fag when he's fucking you, FAGS, an hour on gay Tumblr will make you feel better about that. The number of gay men out there who think it's hot to call their own assholes or other men's assholes "cunts" will both surprise you and make you feel less conflicted about calling your straight boyfriend a fag.
