Bonk : The Curious Coupling Of Sex And Science

Few things are as fundamental to human happiness as sex, and few writers are as entertaining about the subject as Mary Roach. Can a woman think herself to orgasm?Is your penis three inches longer than you think?Why doesn’t Viagra help women – or, for that matter, pandas?Does orgasm boost fertility? Or cure hiccups?The study of sexual physiology – what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better – has been taking place behind closed doors for hundreds of years. In this fascinating and funny book, Mary Roach steps inside laboratories, brothels, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs – even Alfred Kinsey’s attic – to tell us everything we wanted to know about sex, and more we’d never even thought to ask.
