Psychologist and author Jesse Bering joins us to talk about
evolutionary psychology and his forthcoming book
Perv. In the relatively uncontroversial part
of the episode, we ask if homophobia is an adaptation and if women
have evolved rape defenses. After that, sex with animals, sex
with bookshelves, foot fetishes, amputee fetishes, falling down the
stairs fetishes... I don't know, just listen. Or maybe
don't.
