Gen Z are famously having less of it. Do we even need it all? In this episode of Life Without, Alan Davies looks at what happens when we lose one of our most primal instincts? Where do we currently stand in reproductive technology and how important is sex in understanding our biological function? This episode features Miranda Kane a comedian, writer, and former sex worker who uses her platform to destigmatise the sex industry and Sarah Johns, a biological anthropologist at Kent and Medway Medical School with specialized expertise in human sexual behaviour. An ITN production for BBC Radio 4
