    Savage Lovecast Episode 1042

    A bisexual woman has started dating a lady for the first time. She doesn't feel much sexual spark. Is it because of the baggy, unflattering clothes her girlfriend wears? Is it ever appropriate to ask your doctor out? Your nurse? A woman wrings her hands over the ethics of leaving a thank-you note with her phone number on it for Max, the hot radiologist. On the Magnum, it's everybody's favorite gay former Mormon humor writer, Eli McCann! His new novel "Stitched" is on the NYT bestsellers list. And because there's Mormonism in the air, we got two calls from listeners about the Latter Day Saints. One is from a woman in her late 20s, newly divorced and free from the church. She wants to know how to embrace her sexuality. And another is from a mother whose daughter has Mormon friends, and they are trying to woo her into the hive. The mother is horrified. Should she be? A non-binary AFAB person has no desire to try to pass as a man. But they like pretending they have a small dick, and then have their boyfriend degrade and insult them.They both like it when he uses transphobic slurs as part of their dirty talk and role play.

    Savage Love Episode 1040

    A divorced father of adult children understood himself to be bisexual later in life. He digs men in an aromantic, casual sex kind of way. Is he obligated to tell his family? Does his connections with men fall under private sex life or public identity? A woman went to a sex party and met a hot female bouncer who throws out misbehaving guests. The caller wants to ask her to be her dom. Should she? How? On the Magnum, Dan and sex researcher Niki Davis-Fainbloom do a deep dive on fetishes. What's the difference between kinks and fetishes? What causes people to get into them- is it cultural or biological? Is the destigmatization of kink making it less hot? Listen in. And, a straight man matched with the woman who works at his local dry cleaners. He thinks she might be trouble- texting him from the bar at 1:30, maybe driving drunk. Should he avoid her or get a little hanky-panky from a hot, messy lady? Call us, text us, don't be afraid. 206-302-2064 Or record your question and send it to Q@Savage.Love Or just click ⁠HERE⁠.

    Savage Love Episode 1036

    Bummer! A man had just met with a male-female couple who wanted him to take part in a kinky three-way. But when he confessed that he sometimes has trouble coming, they cancelled. Can he train himself to blow a load? Need he? Speaking of loads, a woman credits her beautiful, supple skin to the facial treatments her husband obligingly administers. Can this be true? Any dermatologists care to weigh in? On the Magnum, Dan chats with filmmaker, actor and fetish content creator Julian Shaw. He wrote and directed the thriller Use Me, co-directs the documentary Acting Hard, and is the subject of Cam Boy, a documentary currently in production. He was the face of Australia's gay marriage fight, and had to "come out'" as straight. He and Dan cover a lot of ground in this convo about foot fetishes, the benefits and perils of sex work, the ethics of dating guys on the DL, and how to avoid stomach aches. Finally, a gay man in Italy asks if wearing a jockstrap tells the world that he is a bottom. Q@Savage.Love 206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Helix Sleep.

    Savage Lovecast Episode 1034

    Any military lawyers in the house? A gay man and his boyfriend, both serving active duty, want to open their relationship. But infidelity is forbidden by military law. How risky would this be? Now that chastity play its all the rage, should we assume that a key necklace means something deeply kinky? And if so, should we knowingly wink when we see one? Sex/science nerds rejoice! Our Magnum guest this week is Distinguished Research Professor Dr. Lixing Sun, who wrote On the Origin of Sex. Dan and Dr. Sun discuss the deep biological underpinnings of sex: when and why did pleasure emerge in reproduction? Why hasn't homosexuality been selected against? And why don't we just reproduce like sponges? And, a woman no longer drinks, but her boyfriend still does. When he comes home reeking of beer and cigarettes, she feels repulsed by him. How can she explain that drinking a pitcher and getting laid that night are now mutually exclusive events? This episode is brought to you by Helix Sleep.
