Summary

A trans guy just can't break into gay male spaces. He feels ridiculed and rejected, and ends up sitting in a corner alone while the sweaty dance party goes on around him. He used to be confident before his transition. How can he get a little of that male swagger and bed a hot twink? A female used to date "bad boys"- the kind of guy who turned her on sexually but made terrible partners. Now she's with a sweet man who treats her well, but the heat isn't there. Can she train him to turn her on?Can she train herself to be turned on by him? On the Magnum, what happens when you invite chatty, blabby podcasters to your sex party? Will they kiss and tell...everyone? Dan brings on comedian Ashley Ray to talk about this, and her obsession with the ancient JonBenét Ramsey murder. The plucky comedian has studied the case intensively and her long Substack piece about the crime and its coverage roped in a curious Dan Savage. C'mon amateur sleuths! Let's crack this case already! And, a woman with a few lovers met a new guy who introduced her to kink, and opened up a whole new erotic world for her. Then he unceremoniously ghosted her. Now, when she tries to explore this kink with others or even on her own, she breaks down sobbing. It feels like she got rejected by the kink itself. How can she take the good of what the guy gave her and leave the feeling of rejection behind?

0:18.3	while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
0:26.8	Husbands you can't leave, pregnancies you can't prevent, politicians you can't vote out of office.
0:32.8	That's the GOP agenda for American women.
0:35.8	I've talked about this before.
0:37.1	I'm not going to belabor it now.
0:38.9	But I do want to quickly run through these three items on the GOP agenda for American women.
0:43.5	An agenda, a distressing number of American women voted for last month. Not a majority of American
0:50.1	women, but still, I want to run through it again because they're beta testing an alarming
0:55.3	fourth agenda item that I do want to talk about today. Item one on the GOP agenda, husbands you can't

1:06.5	permission to leave her abusive husband. When no-fault divorce was first introduced, California
1:12.8	adopted the first no-fault divorce law in 1969, signed into law by Ronald Reagan, now law in all 50

1:24.0	NPR that suicide rates among women fell, rates of domestic abuse fell, and fewer women were being murdered by their husbands after we got no fault divorce in all 50 states.
1:35.8	The GOP wants to reverse all three of those trends because conservatives are alarmed that fewer women are choosing to marry.
1:43.6	And they've convinced themselves that making
1:45.3	abusive marriages harder for women to escape will somehow make marriage more appealing to women.
1:50.5	Item two, pregnancies you can't prevent. Obviously, they ended the right to abortion. Women are dying.
