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

well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. Hey, everybody, it's Dan.

Welcome to the Savage Lovecast, the once-a-week out loud version of my sex

advice column, Savage Love.

The number here, 206, 201, 2720.

I'll list today.

Today I'm a little extra day. We will get right to the calls now because we have many calls. And it's going to be a very gay, gay, gay, and a little lesbian show today. So if you're one of those sensitive straight people who just can't bear it when the show's not all about you, you might want to skip to next week's show. Hi, Dan. I have a question that's been nagging me for years,

and I wonder if you've ever heard anyone else report the same phenomenon. I'm wondering if

you've ever heard of any women who say that their sexual orientation, if you will, waxes

and wanes, depending on their monthly cycle.

I find myself at certain times of the month much more interested in women or in thinking

about women than at other times of the month.

I guess I would identify overall as by, though, with extremely little experience with women.

And this monthly waxing and waning is one of the things that makes me hesitate to completely identify as by because it comes and goes.

So I'm just wondering if you've ever had any experience with this, if you've heard of this before from other women,

and I'll be interested to hear what you have to say. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work. Maybe you're a lesbian. I'm just going to throw that out there. Because you don't say at what point during your sexual cycle, you become super duper interested in women, an extra super duper horny. I assume it's when you're ovulating, which is when most women, uh, find their sexual desire, you know, their horniness kind of peaks because they're pumping out eggs and, uh, we're sort of programmed you women are sort of programmed, but of course by an intelligent designer and a higher power and me to, uh, be extra super horny then so that you can, you know, get some spunk into those eggs. But, you know, being humans and being complicated

and having big fat brains, sometimes, you know, what biology says we should be looking for isn't

exactly what we're looking for emotionally or sexually or intimately. So if when you're

ovulating during your period, if that's what happens, you suddenly are just swamped with desire for the ladies.

Maybe that's sort of your baseline underlying sexual orientation.

Your sexual orientation really is you're really primarily at bottom oriented toward women.
