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 search for pre-op trans men on Grindr in the hopes of connecting with trans men who haven’t had bottom surgery? 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 chance meetings. His new book “Hello Stranger: Musings on Modern Intimacies” gets into romance — gay and straight — 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 penises of any kind. Should she say something?
