Summary

When drunk friends pounce! A happily married, monogamous man went to a concert with his gal pal. But she arrived so drunk, staggering around and embarrassing herself, that he had to bundle her in a car and get her home. But she made sloppy moves on him, and although it's been a long time, he can't let it go or fully forgive her. Should he confront her? Will she even remember? A man has been hanging out with and flirting with a woman, letting the sexual tension build. But he and his ex are beginning to talk again, and he thinks they will get back together. How can he tell his friend/crush to cool her jets when nothing has even been acknowledged? On the Magnum: Ah the perils of being in the "sex space." People think that because you write or podcast about sex that you're down for anything with anyone. Dan and April & Amy from "Shameless Sex" had a LOT to talk about. Like, why step-porn can be empowering for women, why cuddle puddles aren't for everyone and, hear the odd tale of the choking masseuse. And read their book! Shameless Sex: Choose Your Own Pleasure Path to Unlock the Sex Life You've Been Waiting For. And, a woman's husband confessed that he had cheated on her a few times before they got married. Now they are open, and she gets way more action than he does. But she's still angry that he cheated on her long ago. Is this an relationship extinction level event? Or can she just write it off already? Ya'll already know the answer, dontcha?

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	while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
0:23.0	The editors of the Washington Post just want what's best for you.
0:27.1	And that means marriage.
0:28.4	There's a lot of social science out there backing up the idea that marriage is what's best
0:32.8	for you, for everyone, because married people live longer, especially married men, married straight men.
0:40.9	Actually, when you drill down into the data, the benefits of marriage, at least a straight kind,
0:45.1	are less pronounced for women, as the social scientist like to say, married straight men get a
0:50.8	much bigger longevity bump than married women do. The theory goes, married men,
0:56.0	less likely to take stupid risks, more likely to see a doctor at the urging of their wives,
1:01.1	while married women are more likely to be murdered by their husbands. And murder has a way of erasing
1:07.1	the health benefits of marriage. Anyway, in an unsigned editorial published under the headline,
1:13.2	if attitudes don't shift, a political dating mismatch will threaten marriage, the post's editors
1:19.3	raise the alarm. They opened by noting something, others have noted, namely that it's getting
1:24.0	harder for straight women to find suitable partners, as straight men are
1:27.6	suffering from higher unemployment, lower rates of educational attainment, more drug addiction,
1:32.9	and deaths of despair.
1:34.9	At top of that, some straight women insist on making it a little harder for themselves out
1:38.3	there by refusing to date men who are shorter than they are or make less money than they do.
1:44.5	And now, heaped on top of all of those complications, more women than men identify as liberal or progressive.
1:51.1	The gender gap in voting has never been wider.
