Summary

A man has discovered his love for wearing feminine clothing. His friends and fiancé are all supportive. But his brother- not so much. Should the caller just expect to move through the world offending people with his unconventional dress? A gay transman has started having kinky hookups. Although he doesn’t want the intimacy associated with “after-care” he does need a little TLC after the more rough encounters. How can he give that to himself? On the Magnum, Dan speaks with infectious disease specialist Dr. Oliver Bacon, Medical Director of the San Fransisco City Clinic, about Doxy-PEP as a means for STI prevention. Along with PrEP, gay sexual health has much improved. They also talk about poppers: How do they work, and how safe are they? A woman has an old friend from college who she’s mostly lost touch with. She heard through the grapevine that her kid is exploring their gender identity. Should the caller reach out and offer encouragement even though they never talk these days?

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 pass on the Savage Lovecast. It's that on the Savage Lovecast.
0:23.1	It's that time of year.
0:25.2	The days are getting shorter.
0:26.9	The leaves that weren't incinerated in a wildfire over the summer are turning.
0:31.4	And we're having our fourth, or is it our fifth deadly heat wave in the United States?
0:35.3	And New York City is underwater.
0:37.3	And Republicans are
0:38.5	threatening to shut down the government. And some Republicans are suggesting that it's not really
0:43.2	fair the way the media always blames Republicans when the government shuts down, even though it's
0:48.2	always Republicans who shut down the government. I fully expect the media to blame Democrats
0:53.1	when Republicans shut down the government
0:54.7	this time to avoid accusations of a liberal media bias, accusations that will never stop because they
1:01.4	always work. And oh, look, the Kremlin is threatening to bomb Germany. And Donald Trump,

1:11.6	and Joe Biden is old as fuck and Clarence Thomas is corrupt as fuck and Diane Feinstein,
1:16.3	dead as fuck. But what do right-wingers want to talk about? Who is Taylor Swift fucking now? First,
1:24.2	I want to say I really like Taylor Swift. I don't like her music.
1:29.4	And that's no comment on the quality of her music.
1:32.9	Basically, if it's not a song from a musical or it wasn't recorded by a female vocalist before 1976, I am highly unlikely to enjoy it.
1:43.1	And that is a me problem, not a Taylor Swift problem, or a Beyonce problem, or a Rihanna
