It ranks consistently in the top ten Sexuality podcasts on Apple Podcasts. Dan is passionate about helping young people face daily tormenting and bullying and also to help LGBT kids who often hide their sexuality for fear of being bullied. Savage has discussed his relationship with his husband on his podcast, in which he and his partner are committed to each other, but still have non-committal sex with other men. On this episode Dan talks about his relationship with his husband, each of them having boyfriends and how it works for them. Kate and Dan talk about sex, fidelity, monogamy, non-monogamy and the importance of creating the type of relationship and family you want, not dictated by society. There’s even an interesting discussion about Dan’s advocacy for cheating when maybe it’s not the worst thing for the relationship and may actually help it. They discuss the different ways loyalty to your partner may look like and times where infidelity and loyalty may co-exist. We hear what Dan’s take is on the political state of the country as well. This episode is full of bold ideas and a conviction to being honest with yourself. Ultimately, it is about creating your personal world with the plan that works for you.
