  Subscribe now to get every question, every week, the complete Savage Love archives, special events, and much more!by Dan SavageI’m a male in my late 60’s with what I think is an unusual problem. My wife of almost 40 years and I have a good sex life and it’s gotten better since the kids moved out. Every two or three days, I give my wife a neck and deep gluteal massage and then she gives me a blow job. Sometimes I manually stimulate her to orgasm, usually while I’m in her m

  I’ve seen some sensational performances this year, but these 10 frequently come to mind when I reflect on my favorite moments.by Brittne LunnissPhotos by Brittne Lunniss
  What makes a great show? I photograph hundreds every year (in 2024 alone, I shot around 200!), and I get that question a lot. When The Stranger’s managing editor Megan Seling asked me to compile a list of my top 10 from 2024, my head spontaneously combusted. How? Who? When? What?

  Some of the best PNW records released in 2024.by Dave SegalIt was hard to narrow our favorite Seattle-area music list to 10 entries—a nice problem to have. Somehow, though, we managed. Below are the 2024 albums that provided surplus pleasure this year... and will continue to do so until further notice.
  01 Afrocop, Afrocop (Wax Thématique) Improv music is a precarious tightrope from which it's easy to descend into dull meandering and/or shrug-inducing chaos. But for over a decad

  Seattle's Only News Roundupby Hannah Murphy WinterWe got to the end of 2024! I’m not saying 2025 is gonna be any easier, but I’m proud of us all for getting through this year. Pour yourself some champagne, grab some eggnog if you can find it, or the bougie seltzer of your choice, and cheers to another one in the books.
  It’s a holiday, so we’ll make it quick.
  The usual: We can expect a relatively dry day today, but the chance of rain creeps up as we get closer to midnight.

• What Happened on City Council This Year?

  31-12-2024 17:20 via thestranger.com
  Last year was a much more innocent time for this City Hall reporter. I wasn’t so intimately familiar with the City’s Code of Ethics, I had never heard Council Member Rob Saka passionately rant about the strength of the Finnish people, and Council Member Sara Nelson was just someone to roll your eyes at in meetings, not the one running the show. I cannot reasonably detail every goof, gaff, and grave decision the council made this year, but I can borrow the Rose, Thorn, and Bud framewo

  Now, you didn’t think we were going to forget The Cookie, did you? For the grand finale of our Cookie Countdown, we’re singing the hyperbolic yet warranted praises of Seattle’s most essential cookie.

  At the Seafood Bar in the Exchange Building, Bar Manager Parker Knowles’s Cocktail List Runs Hot and Coldby Meg van HuygenI spent a lot of time trying to find a delicious warm drink in Seattle to tell you guys about. It’s winter and, like you, I cannot resist a theme. I tried at least a dozen different warm cocktails for you, sometimes traveling great distances and dropping a piece of cash on them to boot, but they were all too sweet or too boring. In the end, all I wanted to talk ab
