**Explicit **

People are back at it! Whether it’s dating, mating, or just relating, you can’t keep us down for long - if ever, as it turns out! Dan Savage, writer of the syndicated sex advice column “Savage Love” and host of the longtime podcast “Savage Lovecast” says even in the darkest days of lockdown, some people were determined to connect despite the risks - remember those Florida beaches? He and Ali cover a lot of ground like the rise of porn during lockdown and the rise of STIs after, the challenges of LGBTQ+ kids during quarantine and the importance of maintenance sex for couples. It also seems being vaxxed is super hot on dating sites!   //
