Summary

A man's 80 year-old father is getting scammed and extorted by a findom. Should he go to the police? Change his account numbers? See a marriage counselor? A gay man in his 20s looks very young. He worries that the men who are attracted to him may be skeezy because he looks more like a boy than a man. His friends tell him to work it. But how can he safely enjoy New York City's gay dating scene? On the Magnum, a concerned mom wonders how to steer her teenaged kids toward ethical porn. We couldn't think of a better guest to bring on than Erika Lust- she's been making beautifully shot, thoughtful, sexy porn for 20 years. She and Dan talked about dealing with porn as a parent, how much porn is too much porn, and how adult content should NOT be in the hands of tech bros. Finally, is it a consent violation to walk the streets with come visibly on your face? It's a yes or no question.

0:05.1	If you're under 18, get out of here, young and...
0:08.0	If you're stuck in a relationship quandary,

0:18.1	well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
0:26.7	There was a fascinating story in The Guardian.
0:30.2	Now, usually when I say there's a fascinating story in a newspaper.
0:33.9	It was this weekend.

0:56.1	London Bridge is down. The secret plan for the days after the Queen's death, published in
