Summary

A woman's party fell apart when her good -looking friend flirted with all the men and then led them away to a club. Was this a competitive power move? What kind of friend is this? Expiration dates! You wouldn't drink old milk. Is it equally dangerous to use lube past its time? On the Magnum, Dan welcomes Jenée Desmond-Harris from Slate's "Dear Prudence" column. They advise a woman whose boyfriend wants to see sex workers. (He likes 'em "young and firm.") And a jealous boyfriend can't handle his girlfriend's (rather reasonable) number of past lovers. As veterans in the sex-advice space Dan and Jenée have some strong words for this insecure man. A woman is about to get debilitating shoulder surgery. She is a submissive, without a primary partner. Who will take care of her when she is in her long recovery? And how can she do kink safely?

0:27.4	Lovecast, and just had an opinion piece in the New York Times about dating apps. Dating apps, of course, Taylor writes are the de facto medium

0:37.1	but even as more people are using the dating apps,

1:13.0	And in a cruel twist, Taylor goes on.
1:15.3	Even if you do decide to sign up for these premium features,
