A straight man was accidentally paired with a trans man on a hookup app. When the trans man found out his match was a straight dude, he tapped out. But that got the caller thinking...should he hunt for pre-op trans men in the hopes of connecting with people still had their female parts? Any problems here? On the Micro and Magnum it's a sneak peek of this week's Sex & Politics with political analyst Tim Miller. He and Dan took a call from a straight man who has recently discovered the kind of pleasure his own arse can give him, and his enthusiasm cannot be contained. On the Magnum, Dan chats with writer Manuel Betancourt, about hooking up with strangers. His book "Hello Stranger: Musings on Modern Intimacies" goes into gay romance, and the allure of chance encounters. He and Dan talk about how "threelationships" can sneak up on you, how the gays (once again) pave the way for honest communication in open relationships, and the WAR between monogamous and polyamorous folk. And, a woman is seeing a trans man on the weekends once per month. She heard through the grapevine that he was planning to get bottom surgery. The caller isn't interested in a penis of any kind. Should she say something? [email protected] 206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Helix Sleep. Right now, Helix is offering 20% off site-wide with a mattress order + 2 FREE Dream Pillows!

I know, right? Isn't this great? Okay, so let's just jump in. Let's just hear from these loves. Let's start with Jessi.
Hi, Glenn and sister and Abby. My name is Jessie. She, her. And I have a big question for you. My partner is the love of my life. He's so sweet. He's so thoughtful and so kind. And our relationship overall is amazing. And sometimes he makes jokes that I just think are hurtful. And I...
I've told him and he says they're not even spirited and he's just joking, but it's hurtful and I can't get past it. And I, I don't know what to do to make him see my side because I feel like if he could understand that his impact was not matching his intent, then he wouldn't be making the joke. But it's been a real sticking point in our relationship and I really don't know what to do.
So if you have any advice, please help me out.
