Summary

A gay man discovered that his friend had a nude photo of him on his phone. The caller had asked him to take the picture so he could edit it and send it to someone. But the friend kept the pic for himself and sent it to other people without the caller’s knowledge or consent. So. Can they still be friends? How bad is this? A queer woman has been on 2 dates with a gal, and they are getting along really well. The caller did a deep internet search and discovered that her date is in fact trans. Not only had the woman not disclosed this, but she volunteered that she was cis, and talked about having period cramps in her youth. Lies? Why would she lie? The caller is very game to date a trans woman. How should she proceed? Our guest this week is Christine Emba, author of “Rethinking Sex: A Provocation.” And Dan was indeed provoked! They discuss her critique of sex culture in which attaining consent is considered a high bar to clear when in fact it is the very lowest bar. Choking? Sadism? What is wrong with us? They talk about kink-shaming, Armie Hammer, how to avoid terrible people and much more. A little is on the Micro, the whole fascinating thing is on the Magnum. And, a bisexual man and his wife have begun a wonderful triad with another bi man. But they have a 9 year-old daughter who will eventually catch on that mommy and daddy’s new friend is more than a friend. Should they tell her and get out in front of it before she thinks one of them is cheating? Send us your tricky questions please.

0:00.0	You're listening to the micro version of The Savage Love Cast at Savage.loaf.
0:05.4	If you're stuck in a relationship quandary,
0:08.8	or if you're looking for sexual harmony,
0:14.4	while there's nothing you can't ask
0:19.4	on The Savage Love Cast.
0:23.2	Fuck Mary Kill. You know the game, although it's really more of a thought experiment than a game,
0:28.7	or maybe it's more of a personality test than a thought experiment.
0:31.4	Anyway, fuck Mary Kill. Someone names three people, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,
0:37.4	and you have to pick which one you would fuck, which one you would marry,
0:40.2	and which one you would kill. Bill Jeff, Elon, I mean, obviously.
0:44.2	Anyway, late one night, I was tweeting in bed on my Helix mattress, which is also good for tweeting,
0:49.8	and I tweeted, fuck Mary Kill, but you can only name one person, go.
0:55.2	Lots of responses to that tweet, lots of quote tweets, and a little outrage,
1:01.2	because one or two people named Ivanka Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene,
1:05.6	and then a little more outrage as those got retweeted, and yes, so I decided to delete that tweet
1:12.5	before it went viral, because I was going to bed, and I didn't want to wake up the next morning
1:16.8	to discover that I was the main character that day on Twitter. The small amount of outrage,
1:21.8	my tweet generated before I deleted it and went to sleep, this little outrage nightcap.
1:26.6	It seemed weird to me, because there are lots of fuck Mary Kill tweets all over Twitter
1:32.6	that name three people, and they're not met with any outrage. It's fine with the internet,
1:39.1	if you want to play fuck Mary Kill, the name three people, but if you name just one person,
1:44.5	it's quote creepy, and quote disturbing, and quote, what the fuck is wrong with you, Dan?
