Summary

Yip! Yap! Bite! A woman's little, nasty, needy dogs are anything but "comfort animals" and her girlfriend isn't having it. She refuses to move in with the caller while those tiny beasts are around. Are they fundamentally incompatible? A British woman learned that her husband had sexual experiences with other boys at his British boarding school. She never knew this and finds it shocking. Dan brings on the sexiest survivor of boarding schools that we know- porn star John Thomas. Let John's amazing voice take you on a journey examining situational homosexuality at British boarding schools. And on the Magnum, a man with blood cancer has an enlarged spleen. He's worried that anal sex might cause him harm. Dan brings on anal surgeon Dr. Evan Goldstein to talk about risks, and how sex toys can rearrange your guts...safely. And a woman who is learning about gay intimacy for the first time through "Heated Rivalry" wonders if homo sex goes as fast as it does on the tee-vee.

0:26.6	Gen Z wanted less sex in movies and less sex on their television shows.
0:32.6	That's what Gen Z told researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, in a study that got a lot of attention and made a lot of headlines.
0:40.3	Now, not every member of Gen Z spoke with researchers at UCLA, of course.
0:44.9	Gen Z, that's 70 million people.
0:47.3	But a statistically representative sample did, a large enough sample that we can generalize from the results about Gen Z generally,
