| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com. |
| 0:06.5 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:16.1 | while there's nothing you can't ask on Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:24.6 | I don't watch a lot of porn, which is weird, you know, considering, considering all the |
| 0:29.8 | advice I've given people about porn over the years and considering the porn festival I've been |
| 0:33.6 | curating for the last 15 years. I've always preferred erotica, dirty books, to dirty movies. |
| 0:39.8 | Maybe because dirty books were easier to come by when I was a tech oblivious at-risk youth. |

| 1:28.8 | really watch porn. I read about them, of course, and a lot of what I read shocked me. They seemed so |
| 1:36.2 | lax the porn tubes. They seemed so easily abused. When we launched Hump, my porn short film festival, |
| 1:43.5 | in 2005, we required releases from everyone |
| 1:47.4 | who appeared in a film that made it into the festival. You couldn't get your film into Hump, |
