Why is Sex Fun?


Listen Later

Sex is overrated...or is it?

Jared Diamond’s Why Is Sex Fun? unpacks the evolutionary quirks of human sexuality, exploring why our reproductive habits are so vastly different from other animals. From hidden ovulation to the mystery of monogamy, Diamond dissects the biological and cultural forces that shape our intimate lives.

Written with wit and scientific insight, this book challenges our assumptions about sex, pleasure, and reproduction, revealing how evolution crafted a uniquely human experience of intimacy. It’s a deep dive into the strange, often humorous, and sometimes counterintuitive ways our species navigates attraction and reproduction.

Come and listen to boys discuss the nuances of scientific communication, sexuality and whether the practise of anthropology is outdated.
