You poor, poor people. For Valentine's Day this year, we're going dark and airing some of your most unpleasant break-up stories.

Dan interviews, argues and politely spars with gay evangelical Christian Matthew Vines, author of "God and the Gay Christian." Vines, who is married to his husband since 2022, was a potent advocate for gay marriage. Now he and Dan have a debate about the role of monogamy in gay life and society in general.
They both take the gloves off, and somehow remain friends at the end of this long conversation. We are releasing about 20 minutes of it on the Micro version, and the whole thing is on the Magnum, available by subscription at Savage.Love.
Check out Matthews book God and the Gay Christian, and his talk on monogamy at The Reformation Project's 2025 Reconcile & Reform Conference.

A British woman learned that her husband had sexual experiences with other boys at his British boarding school. She never knew this and finds it shocking. Dan brings on the sexiest survivor of boarding schools that we know- porn star John Thomas. Let John's amazing voice take you on a journey examining situational homosexuality at British boarding schools.
And on the Magnum, a man with blood cancer has an enlarged spleen. He's worried that anal sex might cause him harm. Dan brings on anal surgeon Dr. Evan Goldstein to talk about risks, and how sex toys can rearrange your guts...safely.
And a woman who is learning about gay intimacy for the first time through "Heated Rivalry" wonders if homo sex goes as fast as it does on the tee-vee.

What do you think? What do you think Dan will say?
What Dan says...may shock you.

A man's girlfriend wants him to ignore her sexually, and focus exclusively on himself. But he wants to give her pleasure. How can they reconcile this?
On the Magnum, have humans always been kinky? If the history of the Middle Ages is any indication, the answer has to be "Oh hell yeah!" Or so says our guest: Eleanor Janega- a medieval historian specializing in gender and sexuality, apocalypticism, and propaganda. Accounts of religious life from that period are riddled with perversion. So people have been freaky for a long, long time. Dan and Dr. Janega have a cheerful conversation about it.
A gay man wonders if he should be miffed when some other dude gives his boyfriend a sexy thong.

It's the 1000th episode of the Savage Lovecast. We started in 2006, when George W. Bush was President. And look at us now!
We packed this show with as many quick questions as we could. (One minute or less.) And Dan answered as quickly as he could. And! We invited long time friends of the show to pop on and answer some questions as well: Ezra Klein, Esther Perel, Mistress Matisse, Mike Pesca, Therapy Jeff, Doc Barak, Joan Price, Dan's Producer Nancy, and Dan's husband Terry. The gang's all here! You'll get an inside look at how the show is made, and how Dan has evolved over these many years.
Some of the questions asked and answered: What is up with "Yahtzee?" Does "pegging" come from pirates? Does blood make for good lube? Who listens to all the calls that come in? Do you get a weird feeling when you dig in your bellybutton?
Happy New Year and thanks for listening everyone!
Your resolution? Get on the show.

"Who will buy my smelly panties?" A woman realizes that it would be a waste to just wash them.
A married man in an open relationship wishes his wife would be as affectionate as his lovers.
On the Magnum, it's everybody's favorite guy who knows things about sports...Mike Pesca! (Host and creator of The Gist, the longest running daily news and analysis podcast, and the author of Upon Further Review: The Greatest What-Ifs In Sports History.) Dan and Mike go over the particulars of the steamy Canadian show "Heated Rivalry" to determine how closely it hews to the sport called "hockey."
And, a gay man is tempted to sleep with guys who are in monogamous relationships. He wants to be a "gay's gay"- a good upstanding gay. Not some home-wrecking gay. But he also would very much like to sleep with these lads...will Dan advise him to listen to the angel or the devil on his shoulder?

I LOVE Esther Perel! Thank you for having her on!
That guy who killed the dog.. wow what a douchebag. He's so passive in his language. It doesn't seem like he feels much remorse, just annoying she no longer wants an open relationship with him.
The intro is a hoot! It left me with belly laughs..
He thinks he’s so righteous, yet he’s a nasty snarky person. I would never want to be in his company.
I love how he blames the Reagan’s for letting aids patients die. How about taking responsibility for YOUR choices?

Karen alert ⚠️
Wow, I really hope the girl heard his response. Always leave a number so he can get back. So emotional. So little was said but it was enough. I hope she found help.
I dont think comments on this app actually reach dan or the people associated with the lovecast but i gotta say this: That call from the person who just ended a 5 year relationship hit for me. Im 20 and recently got out of my first "real relationship" and I always put more effort in than she did. Esspecially at the end of things. Dan, your response to that call felt like you were talking directly to me. I've heard you say that "closure is a gift you give yourself" so many times but it really sunk in this time. I also appreciate how you framed your response. You gave the other half of the couple the benefit of the doubt. I always find that when i talk about this with my friends they want to demonize my ex. While my ex did some shitty things i still respect her a lot. I dont want to normalize demonizing an ex as part of my healing process. Anyways. Thank you for this response. Even if it wasnt my question you gave me an answer.
omg you people are sick. Trump spoke of consensual groping among adults. Biden and many other leftist thought leaders are serial abusers who grab women non-consensually.... that's sexual assault. There's a big difference. If any of you radical leftists were honest, you'd scold the creep Biden for actually doing what Trump is wrongfully assumed to have done. It's very difficult listening to you morons.
I'd love to hear your take on the gay community and people who have a disability I am a wheelchair user and gay and have had very very mixed opinions about growing up a gay male black man with a physical disability.
