Summary

Ok, exactly how many people need to be involved for it to be called an orgy? A woman has been mulling over something that happened 20 years ago between her and her brother-in-law. When she was 19, and her sister was away, her sister's husband put on some porn, and asked her a bunch of wildly inappropriate sex questions. Then he asked her to keep their conversation secret. Unsurprisingly, they are now divorced. The caller never told her sister about this. Should she tell her now? On the Magnum version of the show, Dan gets a Second Opinion from Alexander Cheves, a sex columnist for Out Magazine. They discuss hooking up with Trump voters, how desire for kink emerges early in life, and whether it Is "urbanist" to advise rural gay folks to move to cities. And, a man has been with his wife for 20 years. She is done with sex, and he very much wants it. He likes to smoke pot in moderation. She insists that so long as he smokes pot, she will never have sex with him. Should he fully quit in hopes that she comes through on her end of the bargain? 206-302-2064 voicemail@savagelovecast.com This episode of the Savage Lovecast is sponsored by OMGyes.com: a website dedicated to getting scientific truths out about women's sexual pleasure.

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	well, there's nothing you can't pass on the Savage Lovecast.
0:23.6	Good morning or good afternoon or good evening.
0:26.4	Whenever you happen to be listening to the Lovecast, I hope you're having a good one.
0:30.8	With that out of the way, I've got a couple of things to say about Dave Chappelle's new Netflix special, The Closer, which I watched in a secret
0:38.7	undisclosed location this weekend. First, I can see why people are upset, particularly
0:44.1	trans people. I found some of it upsetting myself. There was a lot of misgendering and some
0:50.2	invalidating going on in there. Still, I think it's futile or futile, take your pick of
0:56.5	pronunciations. I think it's futile to call on Netflix to pull the show down or to call for
1:01.8	Chappelle's cancellation. But you know what? I took a look online. I went on Twitter, and there are a lot
1:08.7	more people on Twitter condemning calls for Chappelle's cancellation than there are people on Twitter. And there are a lot more people on Twitter condemning calls for Chappelle's cancellation
1:12.1	than there are people on Twitter calling for Chappelle's cancellation, which shows us how
1:18.6	completely cancel culture has been captured and weaponized. Anti-cancel culture is the new
1:24.3	cancel culture. Cancel the cancellers. And by this time next week, it'll be anti-anthi-cancel culture.
1:31.5	We will have moved on to canceling the cancellers of the cancellers who canceled the canceled.
1:36.9	But to the small number of people, I did see online calling for Chappelle's cancellation or for the closer to be pulled off Netflix.
1:43.9	Take a moment and Google
1:45.6	the Streisand effect. If you don't want people to see something, don't tell people they can't or
1:51.3	shouldn't be allowed to see it, because then they'll want to look. I'm old enough to remember when
1:56.6	the Pope, three or four popes ago, called for the banning of Martin Scorsese's 1988 film
