Summary

First off, we hear from a neglected third in a poorly executed threeway hook-up. He failed to advocate for himself, and the other two guys weren't asking if he was ok, sitting on the couch, looking at his phone. How could this have gone better? And how can he get over the waves of insecurity he feels when he connects with these same guys again? A woman in an open relationship with a nine year-old daughter wonders how to explain daddy's frequent absences. Our guest this week is the soothing, clever and cussing Jeff Guenther a.k.a Therapy Jeff. Somehow Dan convinced him to come on the show and give him (and all of us really,) some free therapy around the grief we are all feeling. Self care? Sign us up! And of course Jeff sticks around to answer sex questions too. A little is on the Micro and the whole thing is on the Magnum. And, listen in as a woman goes over the details of why her friendship is coming to an end. It really must end.

0:27.9	if it's okay with everybody,
0:29.6	by reading the opening of this week's Savage Love.
0:33.2	Reading a sex advice column at a time like this
0:35.7	to say nothing of writing a sex advice column at a time like this might seem a little pointless.
0:42.4	But I've lived long enough to know that seemingly pointless distractions, small comforts, even guilty pleasures, have the power to sustain us in bad times.
0:53.2	Taking a moment to read or write the sex advice column or listen to or make music or watch or make porn.
