Summary

Age gap relationships! Sometimes they are a-ok. Sometimes they are not. A woman is having an argument with her boyfriend about whether his previous relationship was dicey because of the 9-year age difference. She dated a younger person too, but the circumstances were different. Dan Savage (who knows from age gap relationships) weighs in. A man in a throuple with two ladies can't sleep because their bed gets too toasty at night. Somebody call 911! On the Magnum, we welcome back sex & culture writer Magdalene Taylor to talk about gooning, and the gooners who goon all day long. (Gooning is obsessive porn use.) She and Dan talk about conspiracy theories around keeping young men on their phones and disgruntled. And, she and Dan discuss a call from a woman who wants to make sure her NEXT boyfriend wants to have as much sex as she does. A gay man was in a casual relationship for 9 months. His hook-up wouldn't ever host because he said he had a "roommate." Guess what! That roommate was actually his husband. Now that the caller is over the burn of being lied to, he's considering letting the sessions continue because the sex is so good. Should he?

0:26.4	Hey, you really look like you could use a 90-minute break from, well, you can't see me right now, but I am gesturing frantically at absolutely everything.
0:41.1	My old ass, a new-ish film starring Aubrey Plaza who I love and Maisie Stella, who I fell in love with, just watched it on a long flight. It is so good.
0:47.7	I'm sorry I missed it in theaters. It made me laugh. It made me cry. Sorry about the cliche,
0:53.0	but sometimes clichés can't be avoided.
0:56.6	And my old ass gave me what may be the greatest gift of all in dark times like these,

1:52.2	is better, more exciting, more fulfilling, just playing more of it than the sex they had in their
1:57.1	20s and 30s. Her sample size is small, she admits, and not representative,
2:02.2	but evidence for new trends is always anecdotal at first. It's a great piece. You should go read
