Summary

A pansexual woman and her new lover got an unpleasant surprise...gonorrhea! But nothing makes sense. They had both tested negative and he claimed he wasn't sleeping with anyone else. Did she get it from her sex toys? What happened here? A woman was messing around with a married man for a while. He always closed his eyes during sex, and never wanted her to talk. He even covered her mouth once when she tried to speak. She broke it off, but wonders what was going on in his tortured mind. On the Magnum: Getting ready to hunker down with difficult relatives over Thanksgiving? Take a deep breath (and the sedative of your choice) and listen to this interview. Dan brings on wholesome Marriage and Family Therapist Vienna Pharaon. Her book "The Origins of You: How Breaking Family Patterns Can Liberate the Way We Live and Love" is on point. With imperfect family members who aren't evil, but aren't great, how can we be in relationship with them while meeting them as they are? And how can we protect ourselves from the truly toxic ones? (You'll hear the bone chilling tale of the Evil Granny.) And speaking of family, a man and his girlfriend are at a familiar crossroads. He wants kids and she does not. Should they break up? Keep talking endlessly about it? Cobble together an open relationship of some kind? Dan has some unconventional but pragmatic advice.

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. This week's intro, like me this week, is a little all over the place.
0:27.8	Because, like the country, I'm having a weird one.
0:31.8	Also having a weird one this week, Ariana and Ethan.
0:35.6	Ethan Slater is the Broadway star who just left his wife for the international pop star Ariana Grande, whom he met while they were filming Wicked together. Let me get this out of the way. I know who Ariana Grande is. I don't know her music. I'm not even sure if her last name is pronounced grand or grande. But like I said about
0:55.2	Taylor Swift, me not knowing her music is no comment on its quality. I am not hating. I am too
1:02.7	busy standing Bickey and Shirley and Edy to hate on Ariana or Taylor or Beyonce.
1:13.2	Bicky Carr, Shirley Bacey, Edy Gourmet.
1:19.4	Anyway, it's not every day that a hot pop star falls in love with a, what you might call unconventionally attractive Broadway star.
1:21.9	The news of Ariana and Ethan's romance had literally just broken, and Ethan had just filed
1:27.1	for divorce from his wife,
1:28.5	who had just given birth to their first child, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and
1:32.6	predict their only child, when Pop Crave, the celebrity news and gossip site, blew up the
1:38.6	internet on Friday with a picture of Ethan. Slater was in a baby bonnet and a bib sitting in a crib,
1:46.8	holding a large baby bottle. Pop Crave's caption read, Ethan Slater, in new photo. That cryptic
1:55.5	post made it sound like Pop Crave was sharing a leaked photograph, something we weren't
2:00.5	supposed to see,
2:02.0	something hacked, something private. The implication, on top of not being hot enough for
2:07.6	Ariana Grande, which is what everyone's been saying about Slater all week, Ethan's weird, kinky weird,
2:14.1	sex weird, ABDL weird, adult baby diaper lover, weird.
2:19.4	I took one look at that photo and I instantly knew Slater was not an adult baby fetish wear.
