Summary

A married man is sick of his military husband being overseas all the time. How can they make their chronically long-distance relationship work? Ok, here's something you've all wondered: how do you get rid of sex dolls? Are they too toxic for the landfill? Is there a market for "gently used?" On the Magnum, how are the poly people supposed to do their poly thing, right now? Dan chats with Diana Adams, a lawyer and mediator who specializes in LGBTQ and polyamorous families. Is there a polite, non-confrontational, and effective way to ask a lover to delete your nudes? You know, before things get bad? 206-302-2064 voicemail@savagelovecast.com The Savage Lovecast is brought to you by Dame Products: a woman-founded sex toy company.

0:00.0	You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.
0:06.7	If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,
0:16.2	well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Muffcast.
0:24.8	When the Dutch do something, we should pay attention.
0:28.1	Because the Dutch get a lot of things right.
0:31.0	Dense and walkable cities, amazing bike infrastructure, health care for all, not single payer, but affordable, well regulated and universal.
0:38.5	Also a constitutional monarch. I am a fan of those. And the Dutch are always way out in front on
0:44.4	social issues, many of them near and dear to my heart. They've defined sex work as a legal
0:49.2	profession since 1988. They've allowed for the recreational use of pot since 1976, and they were the first
0:55.2	country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage in 2001. So, yeah, when the Dutch
1:01.1	do something, we should pay attention. Because odds are good, they're doing something right,
1:06.8	and very often doing it first. Quick aside, the Dutch legalized prostitution. They didn't decriminalize
1:13.0	prostitution. Decriminalization is better for reasons we've discussed. And we pretty much lapped the Dutch on
1:18.6	legal weed. What we're doing here, even in Washington State, is better and more progressive than what
1:23.9	they're doing there in Amsterdam. But still, they got their first respect. All right,
1:29.1	like most of the rest of the health authorities around the world at the start of this pandemic,
1:33.9	Dutch health authorities advised people to only have sex with partners they lived with,
1:38.1	long established or hurriedly established cohabitating sex partners. Single people who didn't want to shock up with someone for
1:45.2	the duration, single people who didn't want to invite someone to be there quarantine, or didn't
1:49.8	have someone to invite those single people were told, well, too bad for you. Hopefully it won't
1:55.9	be years until we have a vaccine. And in the meantime, you are your safest sex partner.
2:00.8	Hope you laid in some batteries. Pretty much the same advice where sex is considered we have a vaccine, and in the meantime, you are your safest sex partner.
