Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 9.6k ratings
  • From Savage Love to Savage Nonsense

    Dan once cut through sexual myths with common sense. Now he suggests the government tolerates contaminated lettuce because diarrhea keeps Americans from voting, then advertises dubious “bigger load” supplements that cannot reliably deliver what they promise. He has become the credulous crank he used to mock and tries to monetize on his listener’s insecurities. One star for the old Dan, one for the occasional moment when he resurfaces.

  • Still Sexy After All These Years

    I’ve listened to the podcast for 10+ years after reading Dan’s column in our local Pitch weekly newspaper for years before that. I may not always agree with him, but I will always appreciate his efforts to de-mystify sex and relationships. I also love his advocacy for the LGBTQ community! All this and his show is STILL so enjoyable to listen to! Thanks, Dan!

  • shins

    really disgusting and misogynistic how you spoke about finding hair on shins "disgusting" -- take a look in the mirror. lots of lesbians do not shave. i used to love your show but you're misogynistic so often, it's annoying, disappointing, gross, gross, gross. Small minded Dan. grow up. read the room. learn something for once.

    I tuned into the show, but all I heard was the host raging about the president of the United States. It’s getting old, don’t you have anything more creative to talk about?
