You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.

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 love cast is COVID-19 sexually transmissible?

That was the first question we tackled after the novel coronavirus began to upend our lives.

And we asked it. We didn't wait for you guys to ask us. We got experts on the phone

and put the question to them right away because we knew people would want to know the answer.

I wanted to know the answer. And the answer was basically, well, duh, of course. While COVID-19

But there was no question, really, that sex could transmit the coronavirus, which is why I'm a little worried about people who read the headline in the Salt Lake City Tribune last Friday without bothering to read the story.

That headline, you cannot transmit coronavirus through sex, a new University of Utah study finds.

Courtney Tanner reports on two studies.

One tested the semen and testes of 34 men in Wuhan, China.

All the men had tested positive for the virus, but none of the samples of the semen, of the balls,

showed signs of coronavirus. All 34 of the subjects had mild cases and the sample size was small,

but the results were significant. No virus detected in their spunk or their junk.

Another study looked at 10 women with severe cases of COVID-19 infection, a smaller but sicker

sample size, and no sign of the virus was found in their vaginal secretions either. If I may
