You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Love Cast at Savage.Love.
If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Love Cast.
Well, fuck. I'm going to open this week's Savage Lovecast, if it's okay with everybody, by reading the opening of this week's Savage Love.
Reading a sex advice column at a time like this to say nothing of writing a sex advice column at a time like this might seem a little pointless, but I've lived long enough to know that seemingly pointless distractions, small comforts, even guilty pleasures, have the power to sustain us in bad times.
Taking a moment to read or write a sex advice column or listen to or make music or watch or make porn doesn't mean you're complacent, doesn't mean you're complicit. Because those little things, the little joys, the small pleasures, even especially the guilty ones, they have the power to keep us sane, to keep us connected, and keep us going.
And to everyone who wrote in or called this week to talk about sex, literally going, leaving the country. You know, if somebody had told me 20 years ago, hell, if somebody had told me 10 years ago that a reality show host slash serial sexual predator with a golden toilet would one day appoint a majority of the justices on the Supreme Court, I might have immigrated then.
But leaving, whether we're talking about leaving a shitty spouse or a shitty country, is always easier said than done. So I think we're going to do, I know I'm going to do, what most people in shitty relationships wind up doing. Staying and fighting.
If you're looking for a little uplift, but not a distraction, Amanda Marcotte, senior political writer at Salon, past guest on the Savage Lovecast, wrote a great and surprisingly funny and moving piece for Salon this week, headlined, A Cat Lady's Survival Guide for the Second Trump Administration. Marcotte recommends divorcing your Republican husband.
Again, easier said than done, although some people... are doing it. She also recommends that women never date a Trump voter. She stopped short though, of telling women as some women are doing right now in the wake of this horrifying, especially for women election.
