Summary

What do you do when love being single, but also want that new relationship energy? A woman vents some righteous fury that many women don't find short men attractive. IT'S NOT FAIR. On the Magnum, Dan chats with the very amazing RIVAL but BELOVED advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. She has been writing "Ask E. Jean" for Elle Magazine since 1993, and recently came out with her book What Do We Need Men For----A Modest Proposal. It exposes the hideous men she's encountered, including our current president. She is a treasure. And, a woman who is recovering from a conservative Christian upbringing wants to please her man. But it's difficult when she is still new to sex and he wants to try all these crazy things... 206-302-2064 ThredUP is the world’s largest online thrift store with over 35,000 brands at up to 90% off retail price.

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

0:16.1

well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.

0:25.2

Mm-hmm, hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You ever get a song stuck in your head and you can't get it out?

0:30.7

It just plays and plays. Don't go nuke in hurricanes, baby. Yeah, I'm having that problem right now. Anyway, I don't want to talk about

him. I think I can safely speak for all of you, all of me, and all of everyone at the G7 when I say

0:47.7

there's only so much of him I can take. So let's talk about the orgasm gap instead. The orgasm

0:53.8

gap, something he's doubtless contributed to,

0:56.3

but has not yet attempted to claim credit for. Anyway, while 95% of straight men report

1:01.6

climaxing during their last sexual encounter, only 65% of straight women can say the same about

1:07.0

their last sexual encounter. And since straight men and straight women are having

1:10.8

or meaningful or intimate or hot. I've had some amazing sex without getting off.

1:29.0

But I'm guessing most, if not all of the 5% of straight men who didn't climax during their last sexual encounters were disappointed.

1:36.2

And the same can probably be said for most, if not all, of the 35% of straight women who didn't climax during their last sexual encounters.

1:45.8

And since straight men and straight women are likely to have their sexual encounters with

1:49.6

the same partners over and over again, since straight people are likely or to be monogamous,

1:54.0

a lot of women are permanently stuck in that 35%.

1:57.8

So what can we do to close the orgasm gap?

2:03.2

Well, women could give up on men. There's a much smaller, quote unquote, orgasm gap in same-sex relationships. Lesbian and bi-women with same-sex

2:08.0

partners report getting off 86% of the time with the lesbian and by women that they're with, also
