Summary

A woman feels so insecure about the way her vagina looks, she won’t let her boyfriend near it. How can he convince her that she is beautiful all over? A disabled gay man has a boyfriend who refuses to have sex with him. His psychiatrist thinks they should stay together. Dan thinks otherwise.  On the Magnum, Dan speaks with Matt Baume, author of “Defining Marriage” about the heroes of the marriage equality struggle.  Also, a pestering professor asks his former student to sleep with him, right after she asked him for a recommendation. How should she handle this bit of unpleasantness?  And more.  Call us at our new number! 206-302-2064 This episode of theSavage Lovecastis supported by SundanceNow Doc Club: The new streaming service for everyone who loves documentaries.

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

while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Clubcast.

There was a straight pride parade in Seattle this weekend.

0:28.5

And I'm, you know, you've heard me talk about this before.

0:30.4

I'm kind of four straight pride parades.

0:32.0

I think there should be an annual kind of event where straight people let it all hang out in public.

0:37.1

And we kind of have a few versions of them on small scale, Madi Gras in New Orleans. I think Halloween, I've redubbed it heteroween. It's kind of become the heterosexual pride parade through bars and clubs and urban neighborhoods. Heteroene, enjoy it. Used to be ours, the queers, we used to love Halloween. But now it's yours. Be good to it. It was good to us for so long. But there was an actual, honest to God, straight pride parade in Seattle this weekend. And if you live in Seattle, I'm not talking about the Capitol Hill Block Party, which just happened in Seattle, which are the straightest three days on Capitol Hill. Seattle's

1:11.2

Grain neighborhood every year. No, this guy who does not live in Seattle, lives in the Burbs,

1:16.9

I'm not going to use his name because he's a troll and looking for attention and I don't want

1:20.8

to give him any more attention than I'm already going to give him by ranting about him at the top

of the show. So this guy, who's also a gun enthusiast and a conservative, said in reaction to the marriage

1:31.7

decision as he called for the straight pride parade, maybe animals should be allowed to get

1:36.3

married.

1:38.1

While they're at it, how about equal rights for insects?

1:41.8

In my opinion, there's a difference between a man and a woman. If you can't

1:45.1

appreciate those differences, you can't enjoy those differences. I don't agree with boys

1:50.8

turning into girls and I don't agree with girls turning into boys. The way I see it, some boys

1:55.9

never turn into men and some girls never turn into women. What a shit show. You could say the same thing about

2:03.2

this person's reasoning. What a shit show. Gays and lesbians are like animals and insects. No,

2:10.8

gays and lesbians and bi people and trans people. We aren't animals. Of course, though, we are all

2:16.2

animals. And we aren't insects, although all life forms on Earth share a common ancestor.
