| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com. |
| 0:06.4 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:15.6 | while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:24.8 | Nothing makes me happier, as all of you regular listeners know, than science catching up with me. |
| 0:30.9 | It's something I've said. |
| 0:31.9 | Like for years how I talked about how we should be G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G. |
| 0:36.1 | I'm still talking about G, G. I'm going to talk about it right now, in fact talk about it right now, in fact. Gigi is what we should all be for our partners. Gigi is what our partners should be for us. For new listeners, those Gs stand for good in bed, giving pleasure at times without the expectation of an immediate payback and gain for anything within reason. For years, I told people that being GGG would be |
| 0:56.1 | good for their relationships. It's particularly good, I think, and helpful if you're in a sexually |

| 1:23.6 | And Young and Burke studied people who've undergone what they call sexual transformations to |
| 1:28.1 | meet a partner's needs. Mews found that couples who were GGGG reported higher levels of daily |
| 1:33.6 | sexual desire and were more likely to maintain their desire over time. And Young and Burke |
| 1:38.1 | found that couples who were GGG reported higher levels of relationship satisfaction overall. |
| 1:42.8 | So hey, thank you, science for catching up to me, |
| 1:46.1 | proving me right? I appreciate that. So you can imagine my delight when I saw this headline |
| 1:50.4 | in The Guardian last week. Cannabis smokers have 20% more sex researchers find. Quoting from the |
| 1:57.2 | Guardian, Stanford University School of Medicine researchers found that women who were daily pot users had sex an average of 7.1 times in the previous four weeks compared with 6.0 times reported by those who denied using marijuana in the past year. |
