Bestiality

<p>When sex between two humans can be many things, how do we define bestiality - that is, sex between a human and a non-human?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Especially when the farming industry relies on certain sex acts on animals - or ‘animal husbandry’ to use the correct term - to function.&nbsp;</p><br><p>These are an uncomfortable but important question, and we’re joined by academic Joanne Bourke, author of <em>Loving Animals: On Bestiality, Zoophilia and Post-Human Love, </em>to discuss these topics and more.&nbsp;</p><br><p>This podcast was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer is Charlotte Long.&nbsp;</p><br><p>If you're enjoying Betwixt the Sheets please vote for us at the British Podcast Awards here: <a href="https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/voting" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/voting</a>.
