Summary

A tortured, indecisive woman is on the fence about whether to continue her relationship with her husband of 11 years. Every day she wakes up wondering, “Is this right?” Is this normal? Hear the cautionary tale of the professional cuddler in an ethically non-monogamous relationship with a would-be dom and his much, much younger co-worker. Your life will suddenly feel manageable. On the Magnum, RIVAL relationship advice maven Damona Hoffman from the Dates & Mates podcast is on to swap strategies. What do you do with a man at a sex party who uses the same condom with 4 women? They also discuss race issues while dating, power dynamics and much more. And, a man has started dating a bearded guy. He likes the beard, but has only seen pictures of his boyfriend unshaven, and feels he has a right to see his face without all the bush. Does he have this right?

0:00.0	You're listening to the microversion of the Savage Love cast at Savage.loaf.
0:22.9	I'm traveling today, so a briefer than usual in Trovis week.
0:26.5	And a brief explanation right here at the top of that sound you're about to hear,
0:32.0	which is Nancy banging her head on her desk because Nancy doesn't like it when I talk about
0:36.4	television, even a show like The White Lotus season two, which was all about infidelity and
0:41.4	sustaining desire and long-term relationships and coming out and sex work and evil gaze,
0:47.2	all topics squarely in the Savage Love Wheelhouse. But Nancy, my producer, someone whose opinion
0:53.1	I value more highly than just about anyone else's, including my own. Whenever I start talking
0:58.4	about television, whenever I digress into a TV show, she glairs at me. And when I'm done,
1:04.8	tells me she's just going to edit it out. But, shows got to have an intro. And if all I talk about
1:11.6	during this intro is my new favorite prestige television program. And Nancy isn't here to
1:17.8	glare at me. Maybe I can get away with talking about the prestige television program that I am
1:23.4	currently obsessed with. Milf Manor. I know, I know, I talked about Milf Manor at the top of
1:30.7	last week's show briefly before moving on to other things, and I hadn't even seen it yet.
1:36.5	Now I've seen it. And now I'm even more obsessed. And I'm not alone. The Guardian, the observer,
1:43.2	the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Variety, all have written reviews and think pieces about
1:49.5	Milf Manor, the new TLC dating show where eight moms and their sons try to find love in a villa,
1:56.8	in a very scrubby looking part of Mexico. Even the New Yorker held the show. That's a shameful
2:03.0	new low for reality TV. All right. I realize I have a problem. But in my defense, it's not really
2:08.6	Milf Manor. I want to talk about it at the top of this week's love cast. It is a question raised
2:13.3	on Milf Manor, not a plot point like whether or not you can get pink eye eating ass, which
2:19.1	apparently you can. So Milf Manor, new low for reality TV, shameful incest adjacent, but an
