Dan Savage

Once you stop fighting over the dog, once it's no longer tug of war, once he's free to go with the dog, he may be able to see that it is in the best interest of the dog to let him stay with you, to let you have possession of the dog. But it's a risk. You may tell him he can take the dog and he may take the dog. But what are you going to do? Are you going to fight him? Are you going to go to court?

Are you going to wind up with a shared custody agreement of the dog that keeps him in your life? Until the dog dies. I don't think that's in your best interests considering that this was an emotionally abusive relationship. Keep your word as painful as it may be to lose the dog, to not have the dog in your life anymore. Let him take the fucking dog. All right, time for listener feedback.

First up, some of the comments left on last week's show in the very lively comment threads at savage.love. Tons of advice, so much great advice for the guy with the pregnancy fetish. Maybe Randy and I weren't the perfect people to answer that question. That's why it's great that so many Savage Love commenters stepped up.

Says Elm Syrup, I don't see why the pregnancy fetish was considered so weird by Dan and Randy compared to other types of fetishes. And if the caller puts his ask on a hookup app, somebody who's pregnant and willing to be objectified might respond. Says Marsh LC, setting things up so a pregnant woman would feel safe would be the hardest part, I think.

Women are vulnerable already and being pregnant on top of it, I would maybe... If I were that woman, want to bring a friend along, says Slam Ross. The pregnancy fetishist can look for pregnant sex workers. I have a friend who does sex work who did this. She was very busy during her pregnancy. And finally, says Pentatonic, I wonder if finding a woman with a curvy belly would work.

He mentioned rubbing her belly as a part of his kink and fake bellies didn't work for him, but maybe a curvy woman with a belly that he could imagine was pregnant would do the trick. A woman with a belly who's open to indulging his kink would be a lot easier to find, would avoid the complications that actual pregnancy can cause, and best of all, says Pentatonic, wouldn't have an expiration date.
