Savage Lovecast Episode 1012

About this episode

Dan Savage discusses various topics including pegging, feminism, and dating with guest Christine Emba.

On the Intro, a public service announcement regarding Log Cabin Republicans and MAGA gays: Don't Breed Em, Don't Feed 'Em. An Australian woman would like advice on pegging a military man. Our guest is NYT writer Christine Emba. Her book Rethinking Sex: A Provocation made a big splash, and added to a cultural conversation about feminism and female desire. She and Dan talk about "looks maxers," the emotional intelligence gap between men and women, and why Gen Z folks aren't dating. A bit of this great convo is on the Micro and the whole thing is on the Magnum. And, a woman reconnected with an old high school classmate that she had a crush on back in the day. It turns out she still does! But he's married. The question is, is he happily married? And are they open?
