    Sex is Weird: Ep 7- Do we need sex?

    Sex comes at a cost, there’s energy, time, risks of predators, and diseases… so do we even need it? Asexual organisms don’t seem to miss the dating scene, and yet here we are putting a whole lot of energy into sex, even when it doesn't lead to babies when same sexes attract. Of course, sex is a chance to genetically repair faults and outrun threats, but is the pay-off really enough? Sex is Weird is a series of What the Duck?! with Dr Ann Jones following the sexual evolution of the animal kingdom.   Please note that this program contains adult themes and explicit language. Parental guidance is recommended.   Featuring: Associate Professor Kevin Teather, Author, The Evolution of Sex. Assistant Professor Amanda Gibson, University of Virginia.

Professor Jenny Graves, La Trobe University.   Production: Ann Jones, Presenter / Producer Petria Ladgrove, Producer Additional mastering: Isabella Tropiano.   This episode of What the Duck?! was produced on the land of the Wadawarrung and the Kaurna people.

    Sex is Weird: Ep 6- Virgin birth

    It turns out not everyone was listening when it was written ‘it takes two to tango’ and some species can go it alone in their quest to reproduce.

Parental guidance is recommended.    Featuring: Dr Meredith Lake, Presenter, Soul Search ABC Radio National.

    Sex is Weird: Ep 5- Why does it feel good, anyway?

    What is the role of pleasure in successful reproduction? Evolution says it's mightily important: every female vertebrate has a clitoris. Snakes have two! Female pleasure has been selected for. Making sex fun and pleasurable is a biologically sensible thing to do, more sex means more potential babies. Some studies of pigs and dairy cows have found an increase of up to 6% in successful conception when the females are stimulated during artificial insemination. Sex is Weird is a new series of What the Duck?! with Dr Ann Jones following the sexual evolution of the animal kingdom. Please note that this program contains adult themes and explicit language. Parental guidance is recommended. Featuring: Dr Bruno Buzatto, Flinders University, South Australia. Lynette Greenwood, Dairy farmer, Victoria. Associate Professor Andrew Durso, Florida Gulf Coast University, Florida. Lucy Cooke, Author and Film maker. Associate Professor Patty Brennan, Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts, US.
