Missed edit: Someone references Dan Savage and the “Karmic Rule of Kink” back on Page 1. That’s always been one of my favorite columns of his, and is [worth a look](http://www.avclub.com/articles/december-13-2006,1793/). Dan’s vitriol wouldn’t apply to \*\*umkay \*\*for a bunch of reasons (seriously, it’s not the same situation, I want to be totally clear that I’m not disparaging anyone who’s made uneasy by the whole devotee thing), but the general idea is still partly applicable, and if nothing else it’s a fun read. ---

Based on the information that has been posted about **umkay** over the last few days, I’m closing this thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-i-date-a-devote/622380.md?page=10)
