About this episode

Dan Savage discusses the complexities of personal change and its implications on relationships with guest Benoit Denizet-Lewis.

Sex & Politics #46 Can we really change? Welcome to Sex & Politics!For this bonus episode, Dan chatted with Benoit Denizet-Lewis, an associate professor at Emerson College, a longtime contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, and the author, most recently, of “You’ve Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation.” He and Dan talked about the various ways people can change- how prisoners who have the possibility of parole can improve themselves and prove they’ve done so. They talk about the ex-gay movement, specifically Michael Glatze, who went from gay activist to anti-gay activist. And they answered a call from a man whose wife’s weight loss has completely altered their sex life.
