Summary

"Wait. Where did that flared base, glass butt plug go? Oh, that's right! It's still up my butt!" The caller tried to do everything right. But she might need surgery to get it out. A woman's boyfriend cheated on her with a sex worker... who also happens to be her own damn hairdresser! Dan and the caller have a conversation, and you get to listen in. On the Magnum version of the show, Dan FINALLY interviews the wise and prolific Drs John and Julie Gottman. These two have conducted more than 40 years of research on what makes relationships work or fail, and their insights are spot on. If you've never heard of them, we humbly invite you to the Gottman-o-sphere. And, choices, choices. A gay man is peacefully dating his boyfriend but they don't have sex. But there's a foxy younger guy who the caller has sex with. Should he stick with the meaningful but sexless relationship, or the scorching hot sex dude? 206-302-2064 voicemail@savagelovecast.com Check out The Abstinence Project.

0:00.0	You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at Savage. Love.
0:05.8	If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,
0:15.2	while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. I can't do on Savage Lovecast.
0:23.8	I can't do a regular show opener this week.
0:25.9	No time to rant.
0:26.8	I'm going out of town.
0:27.6	So instead, I'm doing a quick PSA for a new effort that I think is interesting.
0:32.4	And I know it'll be of interest and probably really helpful for lots of Savage Lovecast listeners out there.
0:37.1	Those listeners who tell me that they were subjected to abstinence education and harmed by purity
0:41.7	cultured have been helped by my podcast.
0:43.8	Well, Dr. Kristen Mark is an endowed chair and tenured professor at Institute for Sexual and Gender
0:48.9	Health in University of Minnesota Medical School, and she has created something that she is
0:53.7	calling the
0:54.3	abstinence project. Hey, Dr. Mark, thanks for jumping on the phone this morning. Hi. So what is the
0:59.1	abstinence project? And what are you hoping to do with it? Well, the abstinence project really aims to
1:04.2	uncover the harms of abstinence-only sex ed through the art of storytelling. So people submit their
1:09.3	stories of how abstinence-only sex ed
1:11.9	impacted them because we know that when abstinence is the only message provided to young people,
1:17.1	they tend to experiment with sex earlier. They tend to have more unintended pregnancy and
1:22.0	STI rates. And it can also really have a lasting impact on the way that people's sexual and gender
1:27.2	identity develop.
1:28.5	So we are collecting stories from people to have them highlight the harms that abstinent only sex ed has had on their lives.
