Hello my lovely betwixters it's me Kate Lister I am here with the latest installment

of betwixt the sheets but before we can continue you know what's coming you know what

has to happen just to make sure that you're safe and I'm

safe and everybody's safe and most importantly the lawyers are safe here it is this is an adult

podcast spoken by adults to other adults about adulty things an adult

way covering a range of little subjects, and you should be an adult too.

And now that we've got that little lot out the way,

if you happen to listen and you do get offended,

well tough tics, because fair dews we did tell you

Hello betwixters adjust your snorkels. We're underwater for this one. We are in a cold dark lake in prehistoric Scotland.

Huh, no, we're not on the hunt for the Loch Ness Monster, we're on the hunt for something even stranger than that.

This might not seem like the sexiest the first act of all we are.

We are watching what scientists believe to be the first act of sex between two bony fish called

microbrachias dick-eye. That's true I didn't make that up I promise the first fish to have sex was Scottish and they were

called Dickai. But if you can get past that and take stop giggling this is serious science.

Right when did the micro brachiasias dick I live? Well it was 385 million years ago.

Yes, for Twixters. To kick off the new year, we are going right back to the very start of sex.

We're going to ask the questions, how was sex invented?

What did these fish think that they were doing at the time?

And when did humans start having sex for pleasure and is it

even possible to define what sex actually is? Huh. Some head scratches be there.

I am ready to do this if you are.
