| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at savage.love. |
| 0:05.0 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:14.4 | well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:23.0 | Raping kids is wrong, and people who rape kids should go to jail. |
| 0:27.0 | So should people who collect or share photos of kids being raped. |
| 0:30.4 | I'm not afraid to say it. |
| 0:31.8 | I'll say it again, raping kids, people who do that, they should go to jail. |
| 0:35.9 | You can believe that, as I do, and also believe that not all |
| 0:39.7 | pedophiles have raped kids, and not all child rapists are pedophiles. And making a distinction when it comes |

| 1:39.7 | raping kids is wrong, you're not really telling most pedophiles something most pedophiles don't already know. |
