Summary

A man chanced upon his wife's journals when he was cleaning the closets. He simply couldn't help himself. He read some of them, and learned about her erotic desires in a way he hadn't known before. It made him fall in love with her all over again. But now what? Should he tell her what he did? Blindfold magic! A woman had a transcendent experience when her boyfriend blindfolded her and then...removed the blindfold. There he was! And he was suddenly more beautiful than ever. On the Magnum, Dan welcomes writer, and actor Jeffery Self. What do two introverted, homosexual men have to talk about? Plenty, it turns out! Self's new memoir is deeply personal and fearless. He and Dan chat about the pros and cons of male sex work, why straight men are so jealous of gay men, and the deep dread the words "gay cruise" inspire in them both. Also, they take a call from a woman whose boyfriend is unaware of how stinky his balls are. So you don't want to miss that. And, a woman's boyfriend is wracked with guilt when she gives him deep, gag-inducing blowjobs. She loves it, but he can't get over the misogynist associations.

In the grand scheme of things, what I'm about to talk about is trivial.

I've also talked about it before.

Yes, I am going to play whack-a-mole with another credulous piece about the non-trend that is micro-cheating.

1:11.3

This one at CBS News, written by Sarah Moniosko.

1:12.6

Forgive me, Sarah.

1:14.8

1:22.2

Relationship experts share, what to know, and how to prevent it.

1:24.3

My first objection is the story's placement.

1:26.2

Why is it in the health section?

1:28.9

Microcheating, which is not a thing,
