You're listening to bull group radio with Dave asprey today we're going to talk about some people's favorite topic the penis we're going to talk about the fallacies that surround the fallace is here I did there.

And our guest today is Emily willing him a PhD who's written a new book called fallacy life lessons from the animal penis and she's a journalist who specializes in medical and health topics and a science writer and a research scientist looking biology.

And we're going to talk about how evolution in the natural world have made the penis into what it is and maybe explain why we're so fascinated with it and probably not that much about what to do with it.

And welcome to the show.

Thanks thanks so much for having me.

I have to ask and I'm sure you've answered this before I'm like the know you have why did you decide to write a book about penises.

I actually was considering a book about the brain which is what I'm working on now and while I was going back and forth with the proposal on that I was just driving around one day perhaps with a car with my three sons in it and it occurred to me.

Oh wait a second I've done a postdoctoral fellowship in penises I actually studied how they develop I wonder if maybe there's an opening to write a book about those.

So I emailed my agent and we were on the phone in my half hour I was still in the car and I just pulled over into a parking lot and we talked about it and it was just a really exciting idea.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall for that call with your agent.

It's just the number of jokes I'm not going to make here intentionally is large.

So you decided okay I've really studied this I know about it and what's the the main takeaway like that after you wrote the book it forces you to think differently and write a book so what was the number one thing that popped out after you ordered your thoughts in that way.

Would you believe it if I said that there is an ancient plant medicine that might be the alcohol of your future what if it didn't impair your fine motor skills and it wasn't addictive but it made you feel really good would you believe me well turns out there is such a thing and it's from a company I've been working with for several years now called true Kava.

Cava is a natural plant medicine that self-specific islanders have been using for more than 3000 years as a safe non addictive alternative to drugs alcohol.

Cava makes you feel relaxed and gives you mental clarity at the same time that's because when you drink Kava turns on chemicals and make you feel good like dopamine serotonin and GABA.

So what I like best is that you get all those mental effects without the impairment that you might get from a lot of other substances to Kava is a new form of stabilized full spectrum Kava and of course it's third party lab tested so you always know that it's clean and you know what you're getting go to true Kava dot com TRU KVA dot com and use code Dave 15 for 15% off give it a try.
