<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Evolving Lovers!! 100 episodes&lt;/strong&gt; of the Evolving Love Podcast!!!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To celebrate, we invited back one of our all-time favourite guests: Dr. &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/6699451-chris-ryan"&gt;Chris Ryan&lt;/a&gt;, author of &lt;em&gt;Sex at Dawn&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Civilized to Death&lt;/em&gt;, and host of &lt;em&gt;Tangentially Speaking&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this milestone episode, we dive deep into what it means to love, to be seen, and to navigate desire in a rapidly changing world. Chris discusses why humans are &lt;em&gt;fundamentally non-monogamous&lt;/em&gt;, why monogamy can still be a meaningful choice, and how shame, safety, novelty, and honesty shape our erotic lives. We also explore how AI will transform intimacy and whether social conditioning distorts our instincts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For us, it is the perfect way to mark 100 episodes of the Evolving Love podcast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for being here with us. ❤️&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Ryan Links:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="https://www.chrisryanphd.com/"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="https://chrisryan.substack.com/"&gt;Substack / Podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/thatchrisryan/?hl=en"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a public episode.
