Uncanny Vulvas - Diana Fleischman | Maiden Mother Matriarch 6

My guest this week is Diana Fleischman, evolutionary psychologist, author, and one of the hosts of the Ideas Sleep Furiously podcast. We spoke about the effect that sex robots will have on the dating market, why men and women have affairs, why it’s so hard to talk about ‘mate value’, and why polyamory only works for a very small subset of people. Diana is on twitter at @sentientist and has a Substack at dissentient.substack.com An extended version of this episode can be found at louiseperry.substack.com, along with bonus content and the Maiden Mother Matriarch chat community.
