How to Be a Better Human · Why should you care about animal sex? (w/ Perrin Ireland) · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

It's so fun the way people come out of the woodwork and this like one step removed proxy opens up these conversations.

Like a lot of parents are asking me if the book is kid friendly, which I just think depends on what, you know, the conversations you're having in your home.

And I think comics can be like that, right?

Like people are sending me these photos of like seven-year-olds spending 45 minutes with a book.

And I have no idea what they're taking in or not.

And I'm just not too worried about it.

I think a right question we could ask is, what do we need to do to support these animals in having the best sex they possibly can for as long as possible?

I sort of make a joke in the end of the book that I'm forming the society to save slap and tickle to conserve kink lords.

But I actually am curious, like in an environmental movement, which I came of age in, where we're so it's like defend, protect, stop.

You know, the assault is so intense.

What would it look like to orient environmental policy around?

Like, how could they best get their rocks off?

Because when we remove habitat, when we destroy these far-flung breeding colonies these albatross are living on, if you look at pictures, they are living in piles of our plastic trash.

And that's not sexy.

So what's the sexiest possible way we can support them?

I would love to know what their experience of pleasure and orgasm is, because.

It's kind of this wall in science where, you know, Patty Brennan, who we spend a lot of time with in the book, she's incredible, really expansive thinking evolutionary biologist.

But she's like, you can't ask a dolphin if they orgasm.

We find these huge clits inside dolphins, highly enervated.

They have the corpuscles of pleasure that clitorises and human bodies have.
