They say, the caller with two special needs children and a depressed spouse and complicated relationship. Is it possible to be open in all the ways Dan described but start focusing on reconnecting with non-sexual or very lightly sexual physical contact?

Savage Lovecast Episode 936
I've gone through periods of more or less sex, and one of the things that has helped is that we have a robust habit of physical touch outside of sex. I know that's much harder with kids, but it still might help. Yeah, thanks, Zoftig. Now, here's a comment from Facebook in response to the mom who asked how to support her enby kid. Public support when it's safe.

It was hurtful to me that they couldn't just own it and claim it and say they stood by me proudly because I knew they were accepting me in private, but it would have been so empowering to feel that in public too. Then back to savage.love, JR says in response to last week's intro about the mice who get blasted with both testosterone and cortisone and then stress themselves out to death.

Dan wished there was an easy way to know how evolutionarily diverged he is from that ridiculous Australian mouse, which is actually a marsupial. Good news, there is. This website offers a research-backed evolutionary divergence time for any pair of taxa, timetree.org.

For example, humans and Antigonus last had a common ancestor about 160 million years ago, around when placental and marsupial mammals diverged. We can also check divergence times to other sexy species like sequentially hermaphroditic clownfish. Pomocentridae, 429 million years ago,

or pregnant male seahorses, also 429 million years ago, or praying mantises that practice nuptial cannibalism much more frequently in captivity than in the wild, 686 million years ago, or the fungus with more than 17,000 sexes, Tricheptum, 1,275 million years ago, or poplars which keep changing their sex chromosomes, 1,530 million years ago, Ain't science fun? Yes, science is fun.
