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.

Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist, podcaster, author, and creator of the It Gets Better Project. Have we mentioned that we've been doing this for 20 years?

Her needs were simple. She wanted to wear a trench coat with nothing underneath and to pretend to be a high-end escort for her boyfriend.

He gladly obliged and their session was full of surprises....

"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?

The scene: it's a secret threeway, upstairs at the party. 2 men, one woman, 2 minutes, one orgasm.

On the Magnum, Dan chats with Kelly Foster Lundquist, Author of "Beard." 20 years after her divorce from her closeted gay husband, Lundquist writes about her experience as a "beard." She and Dan discuss how unfair and damaging the closet can be.

After 10 glorious days, a straight man got dumped and then ghosted. Which hurts more?

A married woman and her husband agreed to open the marriage up, with clear rules and boundaries. Guess what! He flagrantly broke the rules. Now, she is considering sleeping with someone else as a form of revenge. Too toxic?

A divorced woman is still very good friends with her husband. She's so close with him, that her boyfriends break up with her over it. Are they just jealous or is she part of the problem?

On the Magnum, it's a "What You Got?" with Dr. Alicia Walker who recently published a study about infidelity. She is a sociologist who digs into the sexual lives people keep under wraps: infidelity, kink, secret same-sex behavior, and other closeted practices. She and Dan talk about the stigma against cheating, and the conditions under which it can be the moral choice.

And, what is the actual difference between porn and prostitution? Sex work is sex work right?

Listen in on Dan's conversation with a woman who learned that her husband had an affair early in their relationship. It turns out she's been chatting with the other woman for a year without knowing it was her! She lives up the street! Dan advises her on whether to broach the subject with her husband's ex-lover.

A woman loves receiving anal sex so much, that she comes immediately and then needs her husband to get outta there. How can she prolong both of their pleasure?

On the Magnum, Mpox cases are on the rise worldwide. Dan brings on queer sexual health teacher Dr. Carlton Thomas to give us the scoop. He was a clear and steady source of information during the first Mpox outbreak, and he's here guide us today.

Finally, a middle-aged straight man who "broad"casts his feminist allyship on social media has a gaggle of younger women he's collected from his comments section who all expressed interest in him. He *may* want to try to commit to one of them, but doesn't want to make mistakes from his past. If he chooses just one, how can he "not get bored and fuck it all up?"
