Summary

Pages and pages of escort ads. That's what she found on her boyfriend's phone when she was looking for concert tickets. He insisted he wasn't actually contacting anybody, but was using them for his spank bank. Should she believe him? Is this a problem? A man recently come out as bi, and has a boyfriend in an open relationship. He sees all the gay orgies that are available to him, but wants to get in on some straight sex party action. Where can he find them? How do they work? Hello? On the Magnum, we welcome back fellow advice-slinger Meredith Goldstein of the "Love Letters" advice column and podcast. They talk about how to keep your cool when in the throws of new relationship energy, a mistreated unicorn, and whether choosing a girlfriend based on her anatomy makes you a superficial jerk or not. A woman has found a fascinating new partner. He had a spontaneous full-body orgasm at the cafe on their first date. Then, when she bedded him down, she saw that his genitals feature a deeply concave area that gives him a lot of pleasure. She's having a blast! But what's up with him?

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,
0:12.4	or if you're looking for sexual harmony,
0:18.1	while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
0:26.6	Wear sunscreen. It's a small thing, but it's a thing you can actually do, a thing you can control, unlike so many other things right now. So do this. Wear sunscreen. I didn't do it. I didn't wear sunscreen on my
0:40.1	arms, despite being urged to do so by an elderly neighbor 35 years ago in Madison, Wisconsin,
0:46.0	who was worried about my forearms. But I was never a sunbather. I just rode around a lot in the
0:51.7	summer on my bike. Only my arms exposed. Never shirtless. I was never a speedo gay, so I didn't think I needed to worry about sunscreen.

1:35.0	And then my friend, my gay friend, who's almost 30, and a scientist. He said to me,
1:42.2	what's KS? Kaposi's sarcoma. It was a cancer. It still is a cancer, but it's an
1:49.5	incredibly rare cancer. Or it was rare once and is again. Wasn't so rare during the HIV-AIDS
1:56.7	epidemic when it suddenly exploded. Not only did my gay friend, an adult, sexually active,
2:03.2	gay man on prep, not only hadn't he ever heard of chaos, he was only vaguely aware of how
2:09.2	exactly it was HIV worked, how HIV killed you. And I found myself explaining to him that
