If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

well, there's nothing you can last ask on the Savage Lovecast.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Savage Lovecast.

I am Dan Savage, your host.

I'm locked in a small, airless, soundproof booth with the tech savvy at-risk youth.

But the dread's got to go and the deodorant's got to come. I don't remember the phone number, so I won't give it now. I'll give it at the end of the show because I forgot to write it down.

of complete and total bullshitification. You're calling with your sex problems. I'm amazed

that anybody can think of sex at a time like this, but I'll do what I can to focus on your

genitals and your problems and your issues right after this message. This podcast is brought
