A woman has reconnected with an old high school chum. The friend immediately asked the caller to be the bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding. The caller said yes, only to learn that the groom-to-be is a Trump-supporting, racist jackass. Should she bail on her sacred duty? On the Magnum version of the show, Dan chats with Author Linda Kay Klein about her book "Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Shamed a Generation of Young Women." The title says it all right? A woman has a great relationship with her boyfriend. But there's one problem. He does financial domination for gay men. She is uncomfortable with this, but really appreciates the cash that comes rolling in to their home. How would you advise her?

0:16.2	well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
0:24.4	I got whipsawed pretty good this weekend.
0:27.0	Not as sexy as it might sound.
0:28.6	Whipsaw to beset or victimize in two opposite ways at once.
0:32.5	I wasn't victimized, but I was beset or beset it or besotted.
0:35.7	First by Kate Julian's fascinating new long, long, long, long,
0:39.8	long, ass read in the Atlantic, why are young people having so little sex? Julian, in this piece,

1:35.9	With the exception of perhaps incest and bestiality and, of course, non-consensual sex more generally,
1:40.4	our culture has never been more tolerant of sex in just about every permutation.
